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 Cheerleadingmug. 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.

Kate: Are you trying out for cheerleading this year, Amy?
Amy: Definitely - I had so much fun last year, and I think I'll be able to make it onto the Varsity squad, this year.
Kate: That's good, I hope you make it! The Varsity cheerleaders are great.

Get the cheerleadermug. Cheerleading. I am a cheerleader && have been for 3 years. You may all think that cheerleading isn't a sport, but so what, football players throw footballs, and we throw 100 pound girls. If you ask me, cheerleading is a pretty hard thing to do. I went to camp for one day && came home with bruises and sore as can be. Not all cheerleaders are whores and sluts. I played soccer, and volleyball, and this one is almost harder than all of them. So next time you say cheerleading isn't a sport, make sure you've got your facts straight. :)
Cheerleading IS a sport.

Get the Cheerleadingmug. An ATHLETE,
someone who works hard,
and is extremly determind.
I think what you're all thinking of is
"highschool cheerleading."
But, not in all cheerleading you cheer for jocks.
You compete,
and love and respect your team,
just like in any other REAL SPORT.
It requires strenght, courage, determination,
and muscle.
I'd like to see you people who think cheerleading
"isn't a sport,"
do a back handspring, a front handspring or
any other VERY tricky tumbling.
ALSO,
have you ever tried lifting a person,
on counts, with music, and doing it with style and grace.
I DON'T THINK SO.
Stop dissing cheerleaders,
cause you couldn't get one to look at you.
Also, Cheerleaders are not "blonde bimbo's"
That's called a stereo type!!
This is a sport that encourages pride.
So, whenever you break us down,
we just build ourselves RIGHT BACK UP.
AND, to people who think cheerleading is for sissys..
YOU ARE SO WRONG.
People have died cheerleading,
people will have broken an ankle,
and smiled and finished there routine,
and then when they get off the floor..
THEY COLLAPSE.
I'd like to see a sissy do that.
There's a thing called ALL STAR CHEERLEADING.
It's HARD WORK.
If Cheerleading isn't a sport,
then I guess, FOOTBALL, HOCKEY, BASEBALL, BASKETBALL, ect.
isn't a sport either!!
Think about this..
in any other sport you drop a ball..
in cheerleading you drop a person.
If that's not a sport WHAT IS?
CHEERLEADER = ATHLETE
CHEERLEADING = SPORT
By the way,
most cheerleaders don't even use pom poms.
AND..
ATHLETES lift weights,
CHEERLEADERS lift ATHLETES.
see,
athlete anddd.. sport
