It was no surprise that cheerleading won two years in a row for both fall and winter sport seasons.…

    To be classified as a sport it is required to have an opponent, a goal, physical activity, and rules. Cheerleading has all of the above listed components.

Both are sports, but competitive cheerleading is more complex and it is also a more fitting example of a sport. School cheerleading can be complex just as well, but it all depends on where you go to school and how big your school is.…
