an athelete who participates in the sport of cheerleading.most are not sluts or preppy.and if they are, it has nothing to do with being a cheerleader. there are two types of cheerleaders:
Type 1-
a school cheerleader. stands on the sidelines, cheers for her team, performs during time-outs, and usually does stunts, but not very hard stunts. but not nescisarily stupid. at my school, all your grades have to be at least a B average.
Type 2-
An all-star cheerleader. Is on a team at a cheer gym, and does NOT have any sports teams attatched. they have a two and a half minute long routine, with tumbling, jumps, dancing, and STUNTS! all-star cheerleading requires extreme athletic ability. everyone on my team has to be able to do 100 push-ups non-stop. and were all under 11 years old. my team is stronger than the boy's gymnastics team at our gym. these kind of cheerleaders go to competitions. they train all year long for these competitions. at my gym, tryouts for the next season are the day we get back from our last competition. go on youtube and search "pro x cheerleading" and look at some real cheerleaders.
standing on the sidelines may not be a sport, but competitive cheerleading sure is.
and by the way, i am an all-star and school cheerleader. i only do school cheerleading so i can have more cheerleading in my life.
type one cheerleader-ohmygosh! did you see what jenny just did? she like totally like missed that last move! oohh! hi greg! call me! lets go team! lets go team! WOOOOO!! *jump*
type two cheerleader-im so scared about usasf nationals. at practice the other day my stunt group couldnt hit our sequence. its- front handspring load in, squish, tap, full up to full cupie, chinstrap, scorpian, triple down, reload, full heel stretch, bow-n-arrow. but i stuck my double yesterday. conditioning was a little easier yesterday. we only did 150 sit ups instead of 200. and we only did our routine 20 times. i think stacey was feeling generous or something.

Now, we have to look at the different breeds and requirements of a cheerleader. You have three main kinds:
School Cheerleader- does not require vast assortment of physical skills or talent. Mainly involves standing on sidelines hoping not to get hit by a ball, clapping, and singing along to the school song. Occasionally, simple stunts are attempted. Lowest out of all cheerleader ranks. Stereotypically stupid, skanky, and a bitch.
Rec-League Cheerleader- cheers for a community recreating league. requires more skill in dance and tumbling.
All-Star- top of the food chain, good teams require physical fitness, coordination, balance, teamwork, good grades, gymnastic abilitiy, flexibility, endurance, showmanship. Can involve innovative and/or dangerous stunts, dance routines, themed routines, etc. and can go up to competitive national levels.
Standing on the sidelines might not be a sport, but some professional cheerleaders are fantastic athletes.

Cheerleading is widely becoming a sport in the athletic community. While yes, it requires certain spunk and nice facials, makeup and nice hair are optional. Those who say cheerleading is not a sport are those who either a) didnt make the team and are therefore pissed or b) have no idea how the hell to toss people feet in the air, stretch unbelievably, or use both mind and body at once. Cheering requires great strength, and those who dont believe may try it and pull all the muscles in their body, resulting in the pain they deserve for criticizing others for something they have probably never tried.
I pulled both my hamstrings at cheerleading practice because it was so hard.

cheerleading is more often than not mistaken as a pointless activity rather than a sport.. but that common misconception is typically coming from the ones who didnt make the cut at tryouts or simply didnt even try because they knew they had no chance. obviously sideline cheering doesnt involve any sort of competing, but it does require coordination and strength depending on how good the squad is... on the other hand... competative cheer is most definitely a sport, and to anyone who thinks otherwise im sure youve never watched a competion and i garauntee you couldnt make it through one routine no matter how "in shape" you may be... dont believe me check youtube "cheerleading worlds"
Cheerleading: Other "athletes" lift weights, cheerleaders lift athletes.

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!!

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.

cheerleading is a sport where a positive and smart group of fit girls and boys show spirit and perform for people to show them what they've been practicing. usually they partice 3-5 times a week before competing. they work hard during school and at practice. its also very expensive. the uniforms are short most of the time because they need room in their clothes to move around since they are always active.
its something most girls enjoy;; if you havent tried it then you shouldnt be saying mean things. everyone is like family and the coaches wouldnt let that change.
maile: did you hear what they were saying about you??!
jannet: yeah i did. but cheerleading is my activity i love to do on my time so ill ignore them. not everyone has the same opinion.
