Cheerleaders Are Athletes
Cheerleading involves cheers, chants, jumps, dance, tumbling, gymnastics, partner stunts and pyramid building. Cheerleaders are not just dance entertainers at games, they have to master difficult and demanding athletic techniques and be effective crowd leaders, often training longer hours than the players they cheer for. During a typical gridiron game players may get breaks, but cheerleaders go flat out for three and a half hours in all weathers.
97% of all cheerleaders are female, however almost 50% of collegiate cheerleaders are male. 12% of cheerleaders are aged 5 to 13 years, and 12% are dancers. The largest growth area is Juniors. 83% in school squads hold leadership positions in school organisations, and 83% have 'B' grades or better. 62% are involved in a second sport.

The greatest SPORT to ever exist, in which girls and/or boys pep up a crowd, tumble, jump, yell, dance, kick, etc. Not only is it harder than any other activity in the world but it is also more fun.

Get the Cheerish mug.a sport that takes work. people think cheer is where girls just cheer for boys at a football game, and that is part of it. but the actual SPORT of cheer requires hard work.
