Cheerleading is an sport (originating and more apparent in the US) that uses organized routines that usually range from 1 minute to 3 minutes made from elements of tumbling, dance, jumps, cheers, and stunting to direct spectators of events to cheer on sports teams at games and matches. Cheerleaders draw attention to the event and encourage audience participation.

Cheerleading is a sport for everyone, whether you are light enough to be thrown in the air, strong enough to push someone into a lift or quick enough to catch a team member who is falling. It is rare to find a sport that involves such a diverse range of strengths and skills and explains why it is so difficult. It requires considerable discipline and persistence because just one person can cause a pyramid to come crashing down. Cheerleading is a combination of dance, gymnastics, trampolining and drama and attracts participants with a wide range of talent. You need girls with attitude to deliver a cheer and those with the flexibility to bend their legs into unnatural positions whilst held above their team members’ heads. I defy rugby players to hold someone in the air for several minutes, making it look pain free and maintaining a million dollar smile.
