we lift people our own size, train to jump higher, we run laps at practice, throw our bodies around in tumbling passes and get reebok stamped on our face when a stunt fails-___-

is it me or do basketball players completely hate cheerleaders? if its competitive & allstar, YESSSS x 920392038293239 . i mean, to anyone who says no, watch some allstar teams and let me know how easy it is for u to catch on to those things. tumbling is difficult, especiaallly if ur gonna be doing like sequence. mounting looks eaasy but it is a lot of touch work. deff athletes. a boy, an allstar cheerleading boy, said hes done cheer, football and all these other sports and cheerleading has been the most hard :)

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. im a competitive gymnast as well as a cheerleader and it a helluva lot of work. we have to have extreme upper body strength as well as balance and we have to keep a big smile on our face the entire time. you try that and tell me your not tired after it.

I agree with seacoast006. If it's competitive, then yes, it's a sport. But if you're just on the team, then, I don't think so

i mean you do have to be athletic for cheerleading, i wont deny that. but technically according to new york state law-section eleven, cheerleading is not considered a sport. just thought i'd share.

depends. If they are competitive, then obviously yes. But if they are just cheering on the high school foot ball team, than in my opinion, no.
