cheerleader

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.
