Cheerleading is an athletic team sport that combines stunting, tumbling, jumping and dancing to create routines that are performed at sporting events. Routines are carefully choreographed to a specified set of eight counts and synchronized with music.
Cheerleaders are commonly associated with the sports of American football and basketball, but teams from other sporting events may also have cheerleaders. The first cheerleading squads were staffed entirely by men, but as women became more prevalent in higher education and Title IX of the U.S. constitution opened up opportunities for women in schools that received government funding, women began to join cheerleading squads in the 1920s.
Modern cheerleaders are often members of a specific squad, which is run by a cheerleading organization, or company. These companies host competitions, summer camps, coaching clinics and safety certification seminars for cheerleaders. They also run their own product lines for uniforms and accessories.
Allez is a common cheer in France and it means “go” or “go for it”. It can be used when the French team is playing football or when watching a world cup match.
Having cheerleaders at a sporting event is popular in the United States and in Australia. In the US, many cheerleaders are members of a specific squad and are organized under a national or regional governing body that oversees competitions for their athletes. These include local or regional contests, hosted in school gymnasiums and other venues throughout the country, as well as national contests that use a more collegiate-style performance format and rulebook.
