Cheerleading that is not on the sidelines cheering on a sports team, but it's own independent sport. Competitions are held to judge teams on things such as their tumbling (gymnastics) and stunting abilities. Much training and a higher skill level is imperative to succeed at competitive cheerleading.

Most competitive cheerleaders are allstar cheerleaders, which are cheerleaders not associated with a school.
The movie Bring it On is about two competitive high school teams.

A girl or boy who competes in cheerleading competitions with their cheer team. They are strong, spirited, and sportsmanlike. They flip, twist, and bend their bodies into pretzel forms. They perform two minute and thirty second routines consisting of stunts, jumps, tumbling, and dance, complete with a variety of exaggerated facial expressions. They are committed to their sport and their team. Cheerleading is their passion.
