An activity that can be as challenging or more challenging than most sports. A mix of aerobics, gymnastics, and dance. Takes alot of technique and muscele strength. When cheering for other sports, most people consider it an activity, but during competitions-it is 100% a sport. No cheerleader in a good program can have bad grades. Cheerleaders involved in any innapropriate behavior can be kicked off of thier team.
"Cheerleading isn't even a sport!"
"Then would you like to tell me why you don't come out of practice in sweat with bruises from catching and sore arms?"

Cheerleading IS A SPORT. If you think otherwise then i would like to see you try it. There is nothing anyother athlete can do that a cheerleader cannot. It is not easy. It takes alot of practice, time and patience to really good at cheerleading. And for those who think cheerleaders are stupid...are WRONG! So people need to stop paying attention to all the sterotypes of cheerleader because you know nothing. Im a cheerleading and i understand if out chants over and over again may become annoying but you should pay attention to the other athletic things we do. Stunting is not easy. It takes alot of time to hit a stunt and the bases have to be strong enough to lift a girl over their head as well as throw them high in the air. Flying isnt easy either. Its very dangerous. Gymnastics is a sport and cheerleaders are gymnicst. We do crazt amazing flips and trust me it is not easy to do. Cheerleaders may not score point on a feild or a court but we score points on a map. So for everyone who thinks it is not a sport, i would like to see you try it because a garrente you will be hurting just after 5 minutes of practice.

An extra curricular activity that involves faking smiles and flashing one's crotch at small children, for men it's what they try out for shortly after having their balls removed.
Mike - Hey did you hear that Becky got arrested for flashing her crotch at some 12 year old boy?
Stan - Yeah man she should've just tried out for cheerleading , she would've gotten away with it

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.

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.

1) A highly debated and widely controvertial version of gymnastics - on people, not equipment.
see cheerleading for the many, many arguements and the huge amount of pride - both of cheerleaders and those against who refuse to acknowledge other's opinions.
2) American sport, generally known in England from high-school movies/TV shows and portrayed in very bad lights. Also, not available in many English schools
3) Generally all girls, but many guys cheerlead too (and they're not always gay)
