Cheers

skirts, loud voices, and tons of energy. Cheerleaders are not just spirited people in uniform. Cheerleaders are commonly seen on the sidelines of a football game. They normally not thought of as a sport because they cheer for another sport playing like football. Some people may argue cheer is a hobby and not a sport. However, competitive cheerleading is different from sideline cheerleading. Sideline cheerleaders are the typical cheerleaders that people automatically picture in a cliché movie…

girls that yell and kick, but competitive cheer.

The coaches taught us three different cheers that we had to try out with. I learned those much easier than some of the other girls did. After spending two days learning the cheers, it was finally time to show the judges what I had learned. When I stood in front of them as they told me which cheer to do, I just kept thinking to myself, "Remember to smile, make eye contact, and if I mess up just keep going." And that 's exactly what I did. Throughout the whole cheer I kept a big smile on my face,…

Jeannie Bennitz, Lafayette cheer coach, says, “With the amount of training that they have to do and the level of activities that they do now, it really should be a sport.” Captain on the cheer team, Emily Fauver, expresses her feelings by saying, “We work just as hard as other sports do.

on 5th and 6th grade boys who aspire to cheer. Data was gathered at Isla Vista Elementary using one-on-one interviews and observing first hand involvement with cheerleading activity.
