Cheerleading:
When a group of people cheer for a sport or perform routines in front of judges. The group consists of cheerleaders which throw each other up in the air, jump, and use motions. This is encouragement for the teams that they cheer for, and is a VERY HARD SPORT. If you don't think cheerleading is a sport and cheerleaders are athletes, you have probably heard some stereotypes about them. Let me clarify:
1. Cheerleaders are dumb. THIS IS NOT TRUE. I am a cheerleader, and I also get all A's and B's and I am in the IB program at my school (for all of you idiots out there, its like AP, but way harder)
2. Cheerleaders are sluts. This is stupid. I know more softball players and basketball players that sleep with every guy they know than cheerleaders.
3. Cheerleaders don't have anything better to do than shake their butts, and prance around. Actually, cheerleading requires dance skills, gymnastics skills, and we lift weights, run, and keep up our endurance.
You are entitled to your opinion, but try cheerleading first, BEFORE you say its not a sport. Thank you.

Get the Cheerleading mug.Ok. Since everyone on this site thinks cheerleading is NOT a sport, and you only need half a brain to do it, that shows that they have never done it. Cheerleading is the most physically demanding SPORT in the world. Almost every country in the world has a cheerleading team of some sorts, and it is sometimes considered the fastest growing sport. Cheerleading invovles the ability to remember sidelines (usually close to 200-250), about 7-8 dances, and countless stunts. It also requires extreme flexiability and the ability to put your life in someone elses hands. Ashley Burns is a 14 year old cheerleader who died from being caught incorrectly by her bases (people under her.) Now name another sport where you have to do all those things and it is a matter of life or death. Yea, didn't think so.
David: Cheerleading is not a sport.
MacKenzie: oh really, let's see you do a round-off backhandspring whip back, through to a backhandspring double full.
David: What's that.
MacKenzie: Something way better than catching a stupid football!

Get the cheerleading mug.Probably the most misunderstood sport. Characteristics such as agility, strength, coordination, and flexibility are necessary in order to cheerlead. Many people argue that it is not a sport, however, it fits all of the requirements to be defined as a sport.
Sport: "A physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively."
When a team is entering competition they are given a rule book in which they must follow. Certain moves result in disqualification or loss of points. Anyone that claims cheerleading is not a sport clearly has never attended a cheerleading competition and should probably invest in doing so.

Get the cheerleading mug.Yes, it is a sport. Yes you do get scored. At competitions they score u on how clean and how hard and how well you execute everything. It is very, very hard. Anyone outside of cheerleading really doesn't fucking understand it. You get hurt A LOT and you have to condition like you are in boot camp. I've been there and trust me, our first month conditioning is just as hard. It's really fun and you have to have more than half a brain to do it. Most cheerleading programs require you to have a 3.0 GPA or higher. Although cheerleading DOES give you a great body, it definitley does not turn you into a slut.
Cheerleading is the hardest sport over anything in the olympics or anything else. And, yes, it is a sport.
