1 definition by not a cheerleader, actually.
Now, we have to look at the different breeds and requirements of a cheerleader. You have three main kinds:
School Cheerleader- does not require vast assortment of physical skills or talent. Mainly involves standing on sidelines hoping not to get hit by a ball, clapping, and singing along to the school song. Occasionally, simple stunts are attempted. Lowest out of all cheerleader ranks. Stereotypically stupid, skanky, and a bitch.
Rec-League Cheerleader- cheers for a community recreating league. requires more skill in dance and tumbling.
All-Star- top of the food chain, good teams require physical fitness, coordination, balance, teamwork, good grades, gymnastic abilitiy, flexibility, endurance, showmanship. Can involve innovative and/or dangerous stunts, dance routines, themed routines, etc. and can go up to competitive national levels.

Standing on the sidelines might not be a sport, but some professional cheerleaders are fantastic athletes.
