Absolutely!!!!!!

Answer 3

Yes because sometimes it gets competiative and you it can be tough and tiring like any sport

Answer 4

of course it is. i am a cheerleader and have been one for 7or8 years now. it is defenatly a hard sport. not an activity were girls show off their behinds. and we do not just cheer for our team yelling somthing we go to compitition and do stunts and dance and and tumble it is very hard. it is so a sport. and by the way not all cheerleaders discriminate based on looks. I DO NOT NEVER WILL AND NEVER HAVE and any way i am not the prettyest girl ever any way and i won't change for any one but me so don't even say that cheerleaders are shallow cause' not all of us are that is steriotyping and not true.

Answer 5

yes!! it is a very tuff  job

Answer 6

When you take any physical activities to a competitive/professional level, it becomes a sport.  Yes, I believe competitive cheerleading is a sport.  It is physical, you train for it, you develop it, you win or lose, and you could get injured if safety precautions aren't observed.  I don't know what else you need to classify it as a sport.

Answer 7

Definately not.  It is a organization that discriminates between very pretty girls and girls that aren't so pretty.

Answer 8

i think to a large extent it depends on the LEVEL of cheerleading you're doing...

some high school and varsity teams are incredible, they train really hard, they do risky tricks and they make a conscious effort to stay fit. but it's a select few.

if you're doing more dancing than athletic displays, then it's not a sport.  although, how do you classify a sport?? is it any physical activity or is it a competetive physical activity? cos in that case, cheerleading would be a sport right?

Answer 9

Of course not but it is a great activities to stay conditioned, like aerobics....
