a sport that requires lots of hard work and practice. if you don't believe cheerleading is a sport, look up the defenition. you have to work hard. practicing jumps over and over again, stretching out your legs, stunting, working as a team. when you think of cheerleading, you think of the traditional highschool cheerleaders doing a rutine for the football game, but it is more then that. i'd like to see you try doing a roundoff backhandspring tuck. the definition of sport is something that requires more then one person to play, practice to get better at it, and ussually competing to get scored. why don't all of you who consider cheerleading not to be a sport go try it and suck it when you see that you fall on your ass.

Get the cheerleading mug.a cheerleader is one who combines gymnastics, dance, yelling cardio, and jumping. Cheerleaders hold eachothers lives in their hands everyday and are underappreciated and stereotyped. Often, cheerleaders, are girls who show school spirit and motivate the players of the sport that she is cheering for.
I am in the top 10% of my class and am a damn good cheerleader who doesn't get under the sheets with every guy she sees so don't think all cheerleaders do. Although, i do happen to have a soft spot for football players!!

Get the cheerleader mug.Some people say cheerleading is not a sport, and for bitchy, slutty, anorexic girls. NEWS FLASH! Some teams may be like that. But some aren't. Each team or squad has it's own set of rules, and how they run their squad is their buisness. Squads are like families, and we stick together. You may think we just jump around and wave pom poms in short skirts every friday night to get laid. WRONG. Most squads have practice every morning at six a.m. and after school for a minimum of two hours. We do service projects, and we lead our community. Cheerleaders are considered the leaders of the school. Think your cheerleaders are sluts? Well, just think. They're representing YOU.
Sierra: OMG. Those cheerleaders are such cheer-whores.
Makenzie: I'm glad i'm able to represent the student body in a positive way by cheerleading.
Kellee: Have a nice day, Sierra. Come to the game tonight, it'll be a lot of fun. :

Get the Cheerleading mug.a extremelt ATHELETIC SPORT, in which much stamina is used to throw girls ur size 15-25 feet in the air, also using much skill and coordination to run and flip over and twist and then going back ot stunting while trying to yell over super load music while competition judges are grading your every move, adn if u think its not a sport i want to see u do a standing back flip then run to a stunt do 2 full twists in the air and then move to a formation adn do a extremely complicated dance routine while staying in perfect shynchronization wiht 35 other girls all the while staying in side the white lines on your competition floor
Our squad got 3rd place this year aat super nationals in Orlando, we had an almost perfect score, and we won an award for best performance and best coreography

Get the cheerleading mug.Cheerleading is, in many peoples opinions, one of the most dificult sports in the world. No I am not reffering to those cheerleaders standing along the sidelines on friday nights screaming pointless cheers, and most usually making fools of themselves in front of the entire student body. I am talking about competition cheerleading. This type of cheerleading is a whole new world of cheerleading. Girls (or even guys) who participate in this know it is extremely physically demanding. They have a very strenuous routine to go out and do perfectly for two and a half minutes with a large amount of judges sit and watch for what they do wrong. It is extremely stressful.
There are a variety of different elements that go into a competition routine. Each individual cheerleader must stunt, tumble, dance, cheer, jump, and never let the crowd know they are exhausted in the process. Though they may run off the floor and puke into a trash can right when they are finished, while they are competing the cheerleader must act as if they are having the time of their life.
Cheerleaders practice all year around. There is no off season for them. They also don't have a chance to prove themselves over and over again by playing different teams each week. All their hours of practice are put to use at one big competition each year to see if they really are the best.
So next time you think of a cheerleader as just one of those bitchy popular girls, remember they are working their ass off at practice while you are sitting around bashing them on urban dictionary. Sweet life.

Lisa- Hey how long was cheerleading practice yesterday?
Judy- Oh it was from 2 to 5, but we finally go the second stunt to stick everytime, and the dance is finally together.
Lisa- Awesome you guys ready for nationals?
Judy- Well I sure hope so. All this work for nothing? That would be so depressing.
Lisa- I'm sure you guys will place.

Get the cheerleading mug.A girl - in some cases a male - who cheers on her school's athletic teams. Although this is the most popular type of cheerleader, there are also competition cheerleaders, who do not cheer for teams, but rather against other squads.
Though female cheerleaders are stereotypically known as stuck up, airheaded bimbos, this is not true in all cases. These girls would have the same personality whether they are cheerleaders or not. It just so happens that they are cheerleaders.
Male cheerleaders are usually considered "gay" which is, again, not always the case.
Though many outside of the cheerleading community consider it to be a sport for those who are not athletically inclined, in reality it is a very challenging sport. For many squads, you must have a background in tumbling (gymnastics) and must be able to do at least a back handspring.
There are many different cheers which you must remember at any given moment during a cheerleading function (whether it's a pep rally, game, etc.). You need to be able to lift girls up in the air when asked and be ready to catch them in case something goes wrong. For some squads, it's necessary to have at least a rudimentary knowledge of different types of dance, and you'll need to be able to perform in sync with the other girls on your squad.
Most squads practice 2 or more times a week, and it's a large responsiblity to show up at every practice on time or early.
Jumps are also very important for cheerleading purposes, and are also required for most squads, in order to try out. One must perfect their toe-touch (also known as a Russian), herkie, and pike, to name a few.
In addition, most cheerleading squads are responsible for painting all signs (including run-through signs, which the atheletic teams run through at the begining of the game) which are used at games. This requires at least a little bit of artistic knowledge.
There are a few different "positions" (so to say) which cheerleaders may be assigned. Some are flyers (those which are lifted up in the air in mounts, pyramids, and lifts), there are bases (the mainframe of bases and mounts), backs (they direct the lifts and help the bases), spotters (those who stand behind and/or around lifts, mounts and bases, and are there to catch the fliers in the case that something happens). There are also tumblers, who perform gymnastics.
Depending on the size of the squad, different girls may switch positions (some bases can also be used as backs, some fliers can be used as tumblers, etc.).
In conclusion, cheerleaders are very dedicated to their sport and teams. In many cases, cheerleaders create lifetime friendships because of their closeness and sense of unity through cheerleading practices, games, etc.
