Side line cheerleading is a sport, in which you show off flexibility and coordination with your team, all movements are done the same unless there are parts assigned to different girls/boys. It also has cheers that put the 'cheer' in 'cheerleading.' these cheers are usually to hype up the crowd in the stands or to even encourage the football players out on the field.
Competitive Cheerleading is a sport in which several teams from schools compete for awards by performing in three rounds, round one is were the cheerleaders show off coordination, jumps, vocals, and impression. Round two is a ten count drill all cheerleaders must do and skills such as the splits, cartwheels, back hand springs, back tucks, and several other tumbling skills, along with vocals like before and precision. Round three is stunting, tumbling, execution, and lastly vocals once again.
Every movement is judged by the judges and a score is kept up with every mistake there is a deduction from your total points at the end and places are given.
In both forms of Cheerleading injury is very common such as broken ankles, broken shoulders, broken wrist, broken nose, broken finger, along with torn ACL, pulled hip flexors, pulled groins, torn groins, torn hip flexors, dislocated arms, dislocated knees, etc.
I am a Cheerleader myself, and despise when people disagree that it is a sport when it is, if cheerleading isn't a sport marching band isn't a sport.

Get the Cheerleading mug.The worlds most dangerous SPORT!!
Cheerleaders don't just cheer on other sports teams, they also compete against other teams. (watch California All-Stars and Top-Gun). Cheerleading is comprised of a cheer portion (in school cheer), jumps, stunts, tumbling, and a dance. If you thought all they did were wave around pom-poms on the sidelines then BOY were you an idiot. The average cheer team practices for 2-3 hours a day, 5-6 days a week. And while football players or basketball players can leave the game if they get too tired or hurt, cheerleaders keep going! They only have 2:30 minutes to prove why they should win. They don't get to leave the floor. It's a deduction of points if they do!!!!! So yea cheer is a sport just like all others.

Person 1: "I can't believe you have cheerleading practice again today!"
Person 2: "Yeah I know but I love it and we have a competition tomorrow"

Get the Cheerleading mug.A physical team activity, used to entertain and motivate crowds for sports events. While cheerleaders, as well as some other, seemingly biased, definitions on this site will argue otherwise, it is typically not considered a sport due to its usual inability and impracticality as a competitive activity.
While it remains physically taxing, and requiring rehearsal, these are not the fundamentals to the definition of a sport, which is based on it's competitive nature. There are some cheerleading competitions in the world, though that makes up roughly 15% of the cheerleading world, while the rest remains focused on entertainment, motivation, and overall appearance while preforming.
