I'm actually a pom dancer, I have to admit, but I consider myself a cheerleader as we do cheer moves. (I'll add an entry for a pom dancer in a minute).
A cheerleader is often seen as blonde, 6"tall and a dress size 000 with a nasty attitude towards everybody who's 'beneath' her, promiscuous and isn't especially intelligent. However, this is very much a stereotype which many movies love playing up to *sad sigh*.
Cheerleading isn't just about shaking pompoms, being happy and smiley all the time and showing off to the fit boys, oh no!
It requires a lot of physical strength (Especially when lifting other memebers of the squad), balance, concentration, fitness and flexibility (Always handy when trying to do the splits or a toetouch!)
There is a huge variety in my squad! There are a few blonde girlie girls, but one girl in my squad is a UK size 20 and she's really good. Nobody is taller than about 5"8 in my squad and the range varies from UK size 6 to UK size 20, some are prettier than others and - although we may not all LOOK like stereotypical cheerleaders and/or act like them, we work hard for our squad and enjoy it.
See the example to show what I'm like as a cheerleader.
In MY case, a cheerleader is a chubby UK size 10 with cropped dark brown hair with blue flashes in it, thick glasses (Unless doing competitions^, in which case contacts are required), a Mensan (152-point IQ), lesbian and NOT always happy and perky and dressed in skimpy designer gear. (I'm more likely to wear baggy jeans than anything else).
^Wouldn't want my glasses to get trampled on, would I? Lawl!!

1) A highly debated and widely controvertial version of gymnastics - on people, not equipment.
see cheerleading for the many, many arguements and the huge amount of pride - both of cheerleaders and those against who refuse to acknowledge other's opinions.
2) American sport, generally known in England from high-school movies/TV shows and portrayed in very bad lights. Also, not available in many English schools
3) Generally all girls, but many guys cheerlead too (and they're not always gay)
1) person 1: OMGH cheerleedin is da BEST EVAA!!!!111oneoneeleven1one!
person 2: OMGH cheerleedin SUCKS!!!!111oneoneeleven1one!
person 1: *insert many reasons why*
person 2: *insert equally many and valid reasons why*

2) english girl: Cheerleaders are so stupid cos I saw them in that film and they were stupid
english girl 2: yeah - I've never met one but I'm going to prejudge them on the ideas the world has imprinted on me
3) girl: why are you cheerleading? are you gay?

Okay, as a cheerleader of 10 years, and my friend being a cheerleader for 11 years it IS a sport! Every other sport you have a back up, in cheerleading if you hurt yourself in warm up's or someone dosn't show, you don't have a back up, or a second string. To be a cheerleader you have to be able to dance, cheer, jump, stunt, tumble, in front of almost 100 people or more everytime you cheer. You are being judged on every move you make. They don't know how many hours, tears, and heart you put into it. You mess up one time, and it's noticed and they remember it, but if you do it right, chances are they wont. Cheerleading is a way of life, shared by a chosen few,
It is working as a unit in everything you do.
Cheerleading is rivalry, the competition makes you strong,
It is sharing secrets and tears, learning to get along.
Cheerleading is that ongoing drive to be the very best,
It is patience, perseverance, and very little rest.
Cheerleading is having poise and charm with every word you say,
It is total dedication twenty-four hours a day.
It is always being ready with encouragement or a smile,
Cheerleading is your chance to express your individual style.
Cheerleading is reaching out to comfort a sister who is sad,
It is defending each other in the good times and the bad.
Cheerleaders are always there whenever someone asks,
They treasure the present moment and let go of the past.
Cheerleading is a talent to be able to shine on cue,
It is hiding the pain and anguish that if only people knew.
Cheerleaders after all, are real people that sometimes get down,
but when they're in the spotlight, they must never put on a frown.
Cheerleaders are actresses, always ready to go,
That is why it is important for all the world to know;
Not every girl can be a cheerleader, it takes a special kind.
Cheerleaders are full of life and a little bit out of their minds.
They know how to have fun and not afriad to make fools of themself's will doing it.
They get up early in the morning to go to a game,match,or a compatation.
They put on their shoes,uniform,and curl their hair.
They don't only cheer in groups.
They arnt all stuck up girls,who tell you what to wear.
Get to know a real one,before you go and judge us all, because hunny lets face it, why would anyone want to date a girl that looks like man when they play the sport, and ater when they can have a cheerleader, who looks like a girl when they play their sport, and have a girl body, that's nicer than most?
It's hard to be humble when you can jump, stunt, and tumble.

Tumbling, Stunting, cheering, dancing, cheerleading

Cheerleading is a high school/college activity that is always discussed whether or not it's a sport.
Some people say that putting on make-up and wearing skirts isn't a sport.
Other's say that throwing other people in the air and then catching them is a sport.
Cheerleading teams compete in competitons just like every other team. They develop bruses, cuts, and broken bones just like every other team.
The commons misconception with cheerleading is that every girl on the team is a whore. But that is a stereotype. Movies have portrayed cheerleading as something it isn't.
Those who think believe what the movies tell them are morons.
Is cheerleading really a sport? The world may never know.
"Althetes lift weights. Cheerleaders lift athletes."
Person 1: "Cheerleading is not a sport. Marching band is."
Person 2: "Fuck no. Marching band is NOT a sport. No matter what you compare it to."

A SPORT that most people don't consider one.
Please tell us its not a sport after you have been throwing a girl 20 feet up in the air, doing countless backflips,and learning a fricken hard routine for 3 hours a day.
All the people who write negitive definitions obviously have...
A.Never made a squad and are jealous and putting the sport down.
B.Only ever watched Bring it On 1,2,3,and 4 and think thats how all cheerleaders function.
C.Has some bad expeirence with a pretty cheerleader and think their all like that.
if you picked any of the above go get PROFESSIONAL HELP!!
if you didnt check one your lying
cheerleading, dance, Bring it On

A cheerleader is a strong smart athlete with tons of confidence. Cheerleaders are often portrayed as sluts, hoes, dumbasses, girly girlies and wimps. That's not it at all. People who hate cheerleaders hate them because they are jealous and wish they could do half of what we can do.
I myself am a cheerleader and i constantly get discriminated against. I sucks. But if you hate on me get over it, because I bet you can't do HALF of what I can. Cheerleading is a sport. plain and simple.

A way for girls to get involved in sports. The sole purpose is to make men horny. That is why they wear skirts and do the splits. Cheerleaders claim that it is a sport. Although I believe it is just a side attraction to the main sporting event. Often times they are bimbo sluts who will get by in life purely on there looks.
Are their men cheerleading for the WNBA? I guess nobody will ever know since nobody watches it.
