there ware two kinds of cheerleaders
1.Girls and sometimes guys that cheer and spirit for their football and basketball teams (sometimes other sports). They are there to encourage the team and pump up the crowd. They are also encouraged to be role models for the school and lead their peers.
There are 3 types of these cheerleaders. Recreational and school or college cheerleaders.
2. Competitive cheerleading is a team that creates a routine that incorporates elements from gymnastics, dance, cheerleading, and acrobatics(stunts). The routines are two min. and thirty sec. in length and have strict guidelines set by the AACCA (American Association of Cheerleading Coaches and advisers. There are three types of competitive teams..
Allstars - only compete
broken down into many subdivisions such as mini junior senior ext. and levels 1-6
they can be co-ed or all girl and limited and unlimited
College/High school - cheer for a school and compete
broken down into small medium and large varsity
also J.V.
can be coed or all girl
and building or non building
Recreational - cheer for a rec team and compete
They are judged on many things from artistic ability and sharpness and execution of moves and stunts to loudness and ability to involved the crowd.

Get the cheerleading mug.definatley a sport.
no cheerleading for a school and screaming and yelling sidelines isnt very athletic. but for anyone who SAYS it isnt a sport .. have you ever actually tried it.
theres no offseason! there CONSTANT conditioning, and lifting people in the air and controlling their ankle while their lifting their legs above there head isnt exactly easy either. you dont know endurance until you practice a full out routine over and over and over again every single day. allstar cheerleading is way more hard then you think, and its a proven fact that cheerleading is the number one sport for catastrophic injuries, so dont even say its not dangerous. i could give a million definitions of cheerleading, and all the stregth, flexibility, years of hard work, determination, passion, endurance, and injuries that cheerleaders go through. but im sure any person who has sense should know ....
idiots.

Get the cheerleading mug.Ok, most girls think that cheerleading is not a sport. When in fact, it is. Most peoples opinions-all they do is put on make-up, kick, scream, yell and distract the players. Yea right. Cheerleaders work just as hard as anyone else. We throw girls way up in the air which takes strength and skill, and we catch them without anything except our arms. We don't use nets, knee pads, of anything else. Of course anybody can throw someone in the air and possibly catch them, but that doesn't mean they're doing it right. Most people think it's easy just by watching it, if you haven't tried it then don't judge it. So, cheerleading is a contact sport that is very difficult and takes alot of practice to do.
Cheerleading IS a sport!

Get the cheerleading mug.Cheerleading: A SPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheerleading is a sport just like football or basketball! We pracitce we run we have team mates we work together we compete we win or lose, we get hurt, we cry, but we just look pretty doing it. If you guys say its not a sport just because of what you see at the football games please, watch a compitition for once would you. We work 10 times harder than any other sport. You guys may life weights but we lift athleats thank you. We have to be just as physical strong as you guys. You are not just born a natural to this sport, you practice your butts off tumbling, stunting, cheering, dancing, jumping! its not all funn and games. If you say its not a sport i would love to see you go out there and try. just because we wear short skirts and tight tops well srry but we dnt choose the uniforms the coaches do, so if you have problems with what we are trying to do for our school showing that we really care, dnt just blog it, SAY IT STUIPED!

Get the cheerleading mug.ok yeah, i hate when people say cheerleading is not a sport and its just a little kiddy one. have you ever been to a real cheerleading competitonn? seen videoos on youtube? seen pictures? try being those bases, backspotter, nd flyer. i am a flyer nd i know what i am talking about. you need balance flexibilty braveness nd trust. the competitons make you wanna pee yhur pants. what if i dont remember the 3 mintue route i have to remember?! what if i drop a stunt?! what if i fall out of a stunt nd get hurt?! cheerleading is a lot of competing nd you can get injured bad. falling out of a stunt with nobody catching you. sound scary? having a girl fall on yhur head. sounds like it hurts? doing a tumble wrong nd falling on yhur face. sounds like a few broken bones? nd more so next time you thiink cheerleading is a little kiddy sport look up "cheerleading" on youtube or google. nd if you still think so try it one time then youll get the giss. kthanksbye!
