Ok. Since everyone on this site thinks cheerleading is NOT a sport, and you only need half a brain to do it, that shows that they have never done it. Cheerleading is the most physically demanding SPORT in the world. Almost every country in the world has a cheerleading team of some sorts, and it is sometimes considered the fastest growing sport. Cheerleading invovles the ability to remember sidelines (usually close to 200-250), about 7-8 dances, and countless stunts. It also requires extreme flexiability and the ability to put your life in someone elses hands. Ashley Burns is a 14 year old cheerleader who died from being caught incorrectly by her bases (people under her.) Now name another sport where you have to do all those things and it is a matter of life or death. Yea, didn't think so.
David: Cheerleading is not a sport.
MacKenzie: oh really, let's see you do a round-off backhandspring whip back, through to a backhandspring double full.
David: What's that.
MacKenzie: Something way better than catching a stupid football!

Probably the most misunderstood sport. Characteristics such as agility, strength, coordination, and flexibility are necessary in order to cheerlead. Many people argue that it is not a sport, however, it fits all of the requirements to be defined as a sport.
Sport: "A physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively."
When a team is entering competition they are given a rule book in which they must follow. Certain moves result in disqualification or loss of points. Anyone that claims cheerleading is not a sport clearly has never attended a cheerleading competition and should probably invest in doing so.
The cheerleaders put all of their time and effort into cheerleading this week

Yes, it is a sport. Yes you do get scored. At competitions they score u on how clean and how hard and how well you execute everything. It is very, very hard. Anyone outside of cheerleading really doesn't fucking understand it. You get hurt A LOT and you have to condition like you are in boot camp. I've been there and trust me, our first month conditioning is just as hard. It's really fun and you have to have more than half a brain to do it. Most cheerleading programs require you to have a 3.0 GPA or higher. Although cheerleading DOES give you a great body, it definitley does not turn you into a slut.
Cheerleading is the hardest sport over anything in the olympics or anything else. And, yes, it is a sport.

a SPORT in which a group of girls or GUYS make up routines of around 2 and a half mins. of jumping, stunting, tumbling, dancing and cheering. the routine itself consists of around 3 different stunts such as scorpions, arabasques, or front stretches usually combined with a single or double spin to end the stunt before being caught. tumbling consists of backhandsprings, tucks, layouts, fulls, and double fulls...all done in combinations of difficulty usually begun with a roundoff. dancing is a shorter part of the routine that consists of 8 counts ranging in speed from 1-2-3 to 1+2+3 in which a position or motion is hit on each count. the cheer can be anywhere from 2 to 16 lines (around there) in competitive cheerleading it is usually short and is yelled over the music. all this is combined into one 2 and a half minute routine. and each different area is given points usually ranging from 1-5 depending on the competition.
last years rotine consisted of stunt sequence, fulls, standing tucks, backhandsring back tucks, round off tucks, extra tumbling, cheer, stunt sequence, dance, stunt sequence, end. it was around 2 and 1/2 mins long and was practiced around 12 times in 2 hours to perfect it for competition.

CHEERLEADING IS A SPORTso many people say cheerleading isnt a sport but they have never tryed it before. all of the people who say it isnt dont know what there talking about because no one knows how hard it is . i mean cheerleading is one of the hardest sports in the world and if people got a chance to do it they would change there mind. when people say it isnt it kills the cheerleaders because they work so hard and they get no credit what so ever. i wish that all people who dont think cheerleading is a sport try it and see what they think. it is the hardest sport ever and belive me i have dont all the sports. its even harder than gymnastics

A SPORT.
it is a sport trust me. College cheerleaders (like me) put it nearly 15 hours a week for JUST PRACTICE. It involves flexibility, strength, rythm, cordination, talent, and determination. Anyone who says that cheerleading is a sport is either...
1) jealous of all the cheerleaders
2) wish they could be a cheerleader
3) are mad because the cheerleaders won't sleep with them
4) are stupid men that think women are useless... well we aernt k?
Cheerleading involves more talent than most sports.
SO STOP HATING ON CHEERLEADERs!
person one: I just want to do something with my time but im not flexible and i cant dance, should i be a cheerleader because it isn't a sport?
Person two: NO! cheerleading is a sport and requires alot of hardwork!

you can try and say cheerleading isn't a sport but you wouldn't know until you've tried lifting a girl above your head while she twist herself into shapes most people can't do on the ground. You wouldn't know until you cheer so loud to get your team going that your near passing out.You wouldn't even know until you've practiced 6 days a week until you get everything perfect. you wouldn't even know until you lose a cheerleader due to injury and have to re-do you whole routine because unlike football, soccer, basketball, lacrosse, etc. you have no body sitting on the side lines to replace that person, or until your a cheerleader who gets up and does a whole routine whith a sprained ankel, wrist,etc. without crying until you get off the mat or feild You wouldn't even kno until you stunt, tumble, jump and dance until you cry because its so hard but you keep going because you have a whole team counting on you and bigger then that your hearts in it. when you try being a cheerleader for 2 hours straight being pushed to your limits every single day, without one letter of complaint...no moaning or whining...like cheerleaders do every practice, then you can try and say its not a sport. but until then, don't say things about a sport you obviously know nothing about because us cheerleaders do take offense because we put our energy time and hearts into a sport and all people can say is how cute we look doing it even though they can't do half the things we do every day.
Cheerleading is a sport!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
