Cheerleading is a sport with a long history. It was originally created as a male-dominated activity at Princeton University. The university wanted to build school spirit by having the crowd chant a catchy cheer. It quickly gained popularity and soon women began to participate. Women were not allowed to become cheerleaders until the 1920s, but by the 1930s, the sport was dominated by women.
Today, cheerleading has many forms. Competitive cheerleading involves a synchronized athletic routine with gymnastic tumbling and chants. Cheerleading routines are often choreographed and performed for a judge at an AHSAA-endorsed meet. Aside from cheering at games, competitive cheerleading also involves performing stunts and choreography.
Cheerleading organizations help cheerleaders train and compete. Many cheerleaders participate in the sport from a young age, where they learn the basics and progress to become great athletes. Cheerleading organizations are crucial for promoting the sport and encouraging youth involvement. These organizations often have websites filled with vital information about the sport, including competitions, cheerleading education, and more.
Cheerleading is a multimillion dollar industry. While many cheerleading fans would love to see cheerleading recognized as a sport, the lack of standardized rules and regulations makes it difficult for cheerleaders to be recognized as a sport.
