Baton twirling is a sport that involves preforming tricks and manoeuvres with a metal stick with rubber ends. It is a dangerous sport as twirlers often hit themselves quite hard during practice as that baton is very hard. Yet no matter how many injuries they have, twirlers get over it and continue to hurt themselves with the sport. In most countries, it is quite unknown and some people don’t perceive it as a sport. It is a sport as it involves many qualities such as hand-eye coordination, team work, practice, dedication, flexibility and more.
