yes cheerleading is a sport. it fits the definition of a sport. a physical activity requiring skill. can you go out there and throw a full? or even a backhandspring without breaking some part of your body? can you do more than one in a row? how about throw people 10 feet in the air? i didnt think so. physical prowess well you think it doesnt take muscle to flip yourself through the air or hold another person above your head cause it does. a competitive nature cheerleading certainly isnt just standing on the side of a football field anymore. cheerleaders compete. like travel all over the country and go against 30 other teams. i would call that competitive. next time you see cheerleading on ESPN i suggest that you watch it and try to do it without breaking your neck.
try and go to a cheerleading practice
watch them compete
make an attempt to do a flip
lift a person in the air
then try and catch them while theyre spinning

A healthy, fit female or male who cheers on the sports teams. Usually very nice people, they perform acrobatic feats and other dance routines.
I'm willing to bet the people with negative definitions are simply jealous fat slobby bitches who couldn't get laid if their life depended on it. Put down the fucking double cheeseburger and hit the gym for pete's sake. Stinky nasty fat bitches. You could shower more than once a week too.
Damn, that cheerleader slapped dat bitch!
Fat bitch: Oooh, that cheerleader is sexier than me, I HATE HER! (Runs home and eats half the refridgerator)

a sport for competition season,
not a sport if cheering for football/basketball, etc.
competition: put together a strenuous 3-minute-long routine in which u have to pack in
1: several group jumps
2: many stunts
3: a dance
4: a cheer
5: many tumbling sequences
6: facials
thats a lotta shit to pack into 3-minutes.
football season: have to get the crowd involved, pump up the team and be interested in the game the whole time.
It involves a lot of spirit and overly expressed emotions towards what is happening in the game
probably not as strenuous as competition season, which is probably why it's not considered a sport yet. however, it still involves everything listed below. and you have to memorize a lot of cheers and never-ever mess up in front of anyone, cuase that shit is embarrassing and makes ur team look bad
have to have gymnastics & dance skills
have to be flexible, strong, loud, and mentally organized
it isn't as easy as you dumbass people who dont consider it a sport think.
if u try it... THEN u will understand
there are so many aspects. u dont have to just run and hit people like in football, or a "real" sport.
it involves coordination and technique and strength, PLUS u gotta look good while doing it! SO HA! how easy is that?!
i'm on chicago allstars cheerleading and i practice 6 days a week, at least 3 hours a day. i go to an extra tumbling class so I can nail my full.
i am also in a "for-fun" stunting class
cheerleading is taking over my life

Competitive cheerleading is a sport. Requiring actual physical training. Rather than high school cheerleading. Which is not a sport.Which consists of teenage girls,jumping around, tring (yes, trying) to do the splits&herkys and whatnot. High school cheerleading, a sport. Competitve cheerleading, not.
Jim*disguisted*: Dude, look at those cheerleaders.
Jenny: They can't even do toe touches or splits!
Shawn: I don't understand cheerleading is considered a sport in our high school!
Maria:It's not a sport. Not high school at least. Competitive is a different story!
Jim&Shawn: You can say that again!

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.
Cheerleader's Requirements:
Tumbling Requirement Example (depending on what teams you try out for): round-off back-handspring back-tuck
round-off back-handspring full-twistinglayout
Jump Requirement Example: Toe-Touch with legs 180 degrees
Stunting Requirement Example: Toss-Hands touch-and-go (to extention) bow-and-arrow double down

ok, fucking assholes whoev. you are.
you people think cheerleaders are slutty, popular(obv., we are) and rich and stupid. but we are not. we have fellings too. we hangout with only our click because we practice like 5 times a day, and those are the people who we just come in a package with. we go to competitions together and stay at hotels and party all night unlike boring nerds. bahahahhahahah. we have sleepovers like there is no tommorow. thats just the way we roll. there is no (stereotype) cheerleader, we are all different! everyone thinks that we have short little skirts and slutty tops but we dont. we just cheer because its fun and i rather be up and doing something then sitting on the couch all day or kicking, strowing, batting, and bouncing around balls all day, thats just plain old boring. think about it.
cheerleaders are nice loving people.
