Answer 3

My cheer team hardly dances at all. We mostly do stunts. h**l of alot harder than dance. And then tumbling. Just as hard as gymnastics.

I come home after practice and I have bruises all over me. At the moment, it's competition season where I live and I'm competiting and still training, doing everything as I would with a twisted ankle and then a pulled ligament in the other, tendanites in my wrist (there is like a lump in it) and constant back pain. Cheerleading requires real commitment just like any other sport.

When you can do a round off back handspring full twist or an extension scorpian double down, then you can have your say in whether or not cheerleading is a sport.

Answer 4

a sport is "a competitive activity that requires physical accuracy or strength." cheeleading isn't a sport, but competitive cheerleading is.

Answer 5

it is a sport even if its not competive. even when the squad only cheers at games almost all sqauds (if they have enough people) do stunts and its not easy to lift a girl in the air. we dont only dance and yell. its tumbling and stunting. thats what makes it a sport

Answer 6

u have to do lots of tumbling, such as backhand springs, flips and some girls get thrown around in the air.it is a very dangerous sport.
