Get the Cheerleadingmug. 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.
Cheerleading=Life.

Get the Cheerleadingmug. 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.
ever been to a cheer competition. dont judge until you have tried the sport. other athletes lift 50 pound weights, cheerleaders lift 100 pound girlss! walk into a cheer practice and do what we do, THEN you can judge us(:
they show cheerleading on espn, if cheerleading "isn't a sport" then i guess football, basketball, and every other sport they show on there isn't a sport either? think before you open your stupid mouths next time.

Get the Cheerleadingmug. yes cheerleading is a sport. it fits the definition of a sport. a physical activity requiring skill. can you go out there and throw a full? or even a backhandspring without breaking some part of your body? can you do more than one in a row? how about throw people 10 feet in the air? i didnt think so. physical prowess well you think it doesnt take muscle to flip yourself through the air or hold another person above your head cause it does. a competitive nature cheerleading certainly isnt just standing on the side of a football field anymore. cheerleaders compete. like travel all over the country and go against 30 other teams. i would call that competitive. next time you see cheerleading on ESPN i suggest that you watch it and try to do it without breaking your neck.
try and go to a cheerleading practice
watch them compete
make an attempt to do a flip
lift a person in the air
then try and catch them while theyre spinning

Get the cheerleadingmug. a sport for competition season,
not a sport if cheering for football/basketball, etc.
competition: put together a strenuous 3-minute-long routine in which u have to pack in
1: several group jumps
2: many stunts
3: a dance
4: a cheer
5: many tumbling sequences
6: facials
thats a lotta shit to pack into 3-minutes.
football season: have to get the crowd involved, pump up the team and be interested in the game the whole time.
It involves a lot of spirit and overly expressed emotions towards what is happening in the game
probably not as strenuous as competition season, which is probably why it's not considered a sport yet. however, it still involves everything listed below. and you have to memorize a lot of cheers and never-ever mess up in front of anyone, cuase that shit is embarrassing and makes ur team look bad
have to have gymnastics & dance skills
have to be flexible, strong, loud, and mentally organized
it isn't as easy as you dumbass people who dont consider it a sport think.
if u try it... THEN u will understand
there are so many aspects. u dont have to just run and hit people like in football, or a "real" sport.
it involves coordination and technique and strength, PLUS u gotta look good while doing it! SO HA! how easy is that?!

Get the cheerleadingmug. Competitive cheerleading is a sport. Requiring actual physical training. Rather than high school cheerleading. Which is not a sport.Which consists of teenage girls,jumping around, tring (yes, trying) to do the splits&herkys and whatnot. High school cheerleading, a sport. Competitve cheerleading, not.
Jim*disguisted*: Dude, look at those cheerleaders.
Jenny: They can't even do toe touches or splits!
Shawn: I don't understand cheerleading is considered a sport in our high school!
Maria:It's not a sport. Not high school at least. Competitive is a different story!
Jim&Shawn: You can say that again!
Jenny: They can't even do toe touches or splits!
Shawn: I don't understand cheerleading is considered a sport in our high school!
Maria:It's not a sport. Not high school at least. Competitive is a different story!

Get the cheerleadingmug. A cheerleader can be male or female. He or She is required to have the ability to do gymnastics, jumps, motions and various other things. He/She must be flexible and have a final grade of A at the minimum, and he/she must have nearly perfect attendance. Cheerleading is easily one of the most dangerous sports in the world.
There are several different types of cheerleading squads:
Large Coed (a team of at least 17 male and female athletes highschool).
Small Coed (a team of less than 17 male and female athletes highschool).
Large Varsity (a team of at least 17 female athletes highschool).
Small Varsity ( a team of less than 17 female athletes highschool).
University (a team with athlete's over the age of 18 university/college).
All-Star (a team of athletes of any age.. there are usually less stunting restrictions on a team in this category elementary/ jr.high/ highschool/ university/ college).
Pom (a team of male and female athletes with the ability to dance and jump. A pom team will include pom-poms. jr.high/highschool).
To be a cheerleader you must have a large amount of self-respect and pride, otherwise you will most likely be booted off your squad. All the other steriotypical definitions of cheerleaders are without a doubt 100% untrue. I would know..I am on one of the best teams in North America.
