Cheering

cheerleaders are recruited out of high school for their specific talents and skill that they possess. Scholarships are offered to the cheerleaders coming out of high school, just like athletes in other major sports. Some may go on to become professionals, cheering at professional football games, or maybe even becoming an Olympic gymnast. Before you determine whether you think cheerleading is an actual sport or not, look for a local cheerleading competition or look out for the next public…

Growing up, getting older, the start of a new year, it is exciting and scary at the same time because you do not know what to expect, but you are excited because you know it is a fresh start. August of 2009 I was starting my seventh grade year and I felt excited but scared because I knew that my classes were going to get harder. The fact that I was growing up also scared me because I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I was excited because I had one more year left till I was out of…

heerleading, one of the most difficult and exhilarating sports you can participate in or watch on ESPN. I have been cheering basically my whole life being eighteen years old and cheering for nine years. Having been a cheerleader for so long, I always encounter people who do not believe cheerleading is an actual sport. Every time I try and convince someone that it is a sport, they are so one minded and they hardly listen to me and it blows my mind. Second semester, sophomore year of high school…

Cheerleading gets argued about being a sport every day, and if you think standing on the sidelines of a real sports team game, yelling you`re very wrong. The whole stadium is yelling and cheering, a bunch of girl voices don 't make that much of a difference. Cheerleading is very much not a sport, especially high school cheerleading. A sport is an activity that involves physical exertion and skill. What doesn’t define as a sport is cheerleading. Being a cheerleader doesn`t mean you`re not an…

their athletic abilities. However, they are not showing them on the sideline of a football or basketball game. These girls will be flipping, jumping, and stunting on the blue mats in front of seven judges and a crowd of up to 200 people, who are cheering on their favorite cheerleaders. Although some may argue cheer leading is nothing but "standing and yelling cheers on the sideline" they will be surprised to know how much cheer leading has transformed into something even better then what is…

there’s a full time out and we have no idea what’s going on! Then my coach will look at me like and say what are you doing? Later on I can’t remember the cheers and I’ll do the same cheer over again or I won’t do a cheer at all. After a while of cheering we will start talking and talking again! New years resolution So this year I thought, I need to be a better cheer captain for my cheer team for the rest of the basketball season. The second the game is over my coach tells us what we did well…

ESPN and former University of Florida cheerleader states, “If cheerleading squads began practicing and competing enough to satisfy those requirements, they would be forced to drastically scale back the number of games at which they cheer. Or stop cheering at games entirely. The minute that happens, rest in peace, cheerleading.” It shouldn’t matter how much an athlete competes. However, what should make it a sport is the skills they perform and in the setting they perform them. “The competition…

games and encourage school spirit. All-star cheer teams do not cheer. Although they identify as a cheer team all-star cheer teams do not preform cheers, do not bounce around in school colors, and do not cheer as a hobby. All-star cheerleaders see cheering as a part of their own life and spend as much time possible…

"Let's go generals let's go!" What do you think of cheerleading not being a sport? Then get your Pom Poms and come along. They keep the crowd going, I would definitely not enjoy football games without them. The first cheer squad started in 1898. The university of Minnesota had the honor to be the first school. I think that cheerleading is not a sport because it's not athletic and it has not been in the Olympics for that long. A lot of cheerleaders only call it a sport because they do…
