Is Cheerleading A Sport? By: Jennifer S

           What do you think, is cheerleading a sport to you? When you think about it there is many reasons, positive or negative about cheerleading. I read that some people around us doesn't know if yes or no cheerleading is a sport. 

For me cheerleading is a mix of dance and gymnastics. It's also connect to trust and team work all together. With these 4 elements for me its a great cheerleading team.  With the team, we have fun, we laugh and help each other when needed. But not all is about team work there is also trust, a really important one. You have to trust the person that is lifting you. In cheerleading you do a choreography like dance, you do jumps etc... In other words cheerleading is a work out. 

In cheerleading you may do competitions and some can be around the world, Australia, Canada, China, Colombia, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, New Zealand and the United Kingdom etc..Like in other sports like dance and figure skating they do competitions. 

There is movies about cheerleading, and of what I heard there is some boardcasts of cheerleading competition by ESPN international and the world wide release of the 2000 film Bring It On.

So now do you think cheerleading is a sport?
