An incredibly dangerous, time consuming, and fun sport. Cheerleading combines brute athletisism for stunting, tumbling, and dance as well as balance and cardio. If you think this isnt a sport try lifting a 115 pound girl in one hand.. ya thats right. or doin a standing full. Although the glamour and fashion is often overdone and unecissary the athletic parts of the sport are both incredibly entertaining and dangerous. I alone have broken my nose 3 times, knocked 2 teeth out, and have been witness to sprained backs, fractured ribs, and compund fractures. sriously dont knock it till u are the best in the world!

A sport that requires a great amout of strenght and talent, cheer is not just 4 schools they r competive and train extremly hard! Not 2 b confused with gymnastics. Gymnastics is more on vaults, beams, and un even bars, cheerleading is mostly stunting on the floor! A large sterotype cheerleader is an airheaded whore but all cheerleaders i know, including myself, are self respected girls whom are not allowed 2 cheer unless we maintain a B average. Please respect this sport because all of the haters have no idea what kind of training we r put threw! Enough training 2 lift and throw some1 in the air, think about it,,,,
Dillon: Lo is such a gorgeous and smart girl!
Ash: did u know Shes into competive cheerleading, i heard her squad went 2 worlds!
Dill: figures, shes so strong she could take down a football playrr!

Some cheeleaders may be ditzy, dumb, or all about looks; however, these cheerleaders are probably out of some small high school that has a cheerleading team that sucks. Real cheerleaders are on all star teams outside of school strictly for competing. All star cheerleaders travel a lot. I attend a minimum of three cheer competitions out of my state every season. Oh wait cheerleading season does not end for all-stars. I am attending the cheerleading worlds in florida in April which will include the best of the best teams from across the world. Thats right ACROSS THE WORLD! Let me see you do half the skill cheerleaders earn by practicing and hard work. Skill and technique is needed. If you think you can handle it, then show me...join. What level 5 teams do is pretty amazing to ALL spectators.
Cheerleaders are the Shit.

Cheerleading is a sport.

it is a SPORT all of you who think it isn't should really try it yes the routine lasts about 3 minutes but you have to jump, tumble (gymnastics which takes a lot of muscle power), stunt (carrying people who weigh yes 100lbs or more while the person being carried has to twist their body like a pretzel & yes it takes flexibility then trowing that person high enough for them to be able to twist two to three times before being caught), hitting each motion perfectly as one which means tons of practice to get it just perfect for just those 3 minutes which took you at least 10 hours to practice just that routine over, and over again. Those of you who call US cheerleaders bimbos well we still have to keep our grades up in order to cheer and most of us want to go to college ok. We do compete against each other which most definitely makes it a sport.

And for those pathetic excuses of cheerleaders who whore around and just join to be popular you make the rest of us look bad those of us who really love to cheer. And no you don't have to be skinny to cheer no we don't make them go anorexic but you do have to be healthy fit and strong, and yes some cheerleaders aren't pretty but who cares who said they had to be.!!
Sam: Oh molly! check out those cheerleaders their triple full down it was amazing!

Molly: I know their tumbling skills are pretty good as well.

Sam: I never knew cheerleading was so challenging.

Most people argue that cheerleading isnt a sport bc its basically a bunch of "slutty" girls jumping around yelling go team go and trying to get laid. YOUR WRONG! I'm not a competive cheerleader but i am a cheerleader for my high school and although that might not be as hard as competive cheerleading it is hard. We practice just as much as the basketball,volleyball,and football players do and we practice just as long. We run, stretch, and lift weights. No we are not aneriex. every girl on my team weighs over a 110 pounds. Most of the girls on my team including me eat just as much as the football players do if not more. if you ever come to camp you wont see one of us without food in our hand thank you very much. You have to have the right technique to lift the girl in the air or else your drop her and that can cause injury. we have to learn over 30 chants and at least 20 cheers and if we dont know them by football season we get yelled at and benched. we have to learn at least 6 dances also. and camp is just as hard as most camps. i dont care if you think "sideline cheering" isnt a sport. but it is hard work and were not stupid sluts that prance around. I have straight A's and you have to keep a 3.0 gpa to stay on the squad. so dont judge cheerleaders just bc u watched a stupid movie that showed cheerleaders being bitchy sluts. b/c were not.
Cheerleading is just as hard as any other SPORT!

an extremely amazing sport.
it takes strength, determination, skill, rhythm, and coordination.
especially competitive all-star cheerleading.
other athletes lift weight but we lift people.
and that takes some mad skills.
its a lot harder then it looks.
i mean you torture yourself all year just to be able to do another flip.
its crazy.
and you get points off for being sexy, so all you guys who think thats all we do your wrong.

and looks don't matter in cheer.
i am sorry that we look good while we work our asses off.

and that 2 minute and 30 second routine kills.
if you have any problems try it.

in football all they do is run around and tackle people.
in baseball they hit a ball and run a base.
in basketball you put a ball in a hoop.
in soccer you kick a ball in a net.
in volleyball you hit a ball over a net.
in cheerleading you dance, run, stunt(lift people and have their lives in your hands, or you have to trust people with your life.), you tumble(flip), yell, have to look good in little skirts, and you have kill yourself to be flexible, and you have to want it, be able to catch a girl flying 15 feet above your head, and much more! :
