Cheer leading is a mostly competitive SPORT. For those who do not know, I am going to give a little background information. Chherleading was intended for men In the first place, that's right, MEN! But then girls got involved.
Sideline cheer- a cheerleader that cheers at sports events. Mostly what you think of when people say cheerleader, based on my experiences.
Competitive Cheerleaders- Know these are athletes. They do a combination of many sports. They lift girls who weigh as much as them over their heads. They throw them very high. But, unlike football players they always catch what they need to. Them need the aim to throw them in a way so they will land exactly where they need to. They trained all year long. There is no off season. Running is a daily activity for most to keep their stamina. They tumble like crazy. They do back handsprings, tucks, layouts, fulls, and other skills. They work their whole cheer career to get all their skills.
Instead of playing in playoffs, cheerleaders go against the best teams in the world at one competition.

Get the Cheerleadingmug. Athletes that are most of the time underestimated. Can do crazy tumbling skills, throw each other in the air, and are super strong. They are constantly trusting each other no matter what

Get the silver cheerleadermug. 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 Cheerleadingmug. Cheerleading is one of the hardest SPORTS. It uses lots of muscle and strength and flexibility. Cheerleading also called, cheer, has many parts of it: stunting, tumbling, jumps, and dance. Many people think it isn’t a sport but it is because it is very hard and you should not think that before you have tried it. There are TWO different kinds of cheer, allstar/competitive and, school or non- competitive. Cheerleading is a sport because the definition of sport is:
an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.(from google) and cheerleading does just that. Not just everyone can do cheer, you have to have skill and a mindset, flexibility also is important in cheer. Cheerleading is also competing against another team as in All star, which is the most common type of cheer, so as you can see it fits this definition perfectly.
