Three Cheers for Cheerleading

Author: Janey Trishon


Cheerleading has many fascinating qualities. Being a cheerleader
shows leadership abilities and positive attitudes. It is a great
way to build self confidence. Cheerleaders work together as a
team with no particular person standing out. The whole team
works together to create the impression they give others. 

Cheerleaders uses their cheers and chants combined with routines
to reach out and grab the crowd’s attention. They can take a
boring game with little excitement and make it interesting and
fun. They can add to the enthusiasm of a great game. Everyone
expects cheerleaders to be on the sidelines of their favorite
sport.

The use of gymnastics plays an important role in cheerleading.
Combine this with song and dance and you have everyone’s
attention. At times cheerleading has been considered a dangerous
activity, even though when compared to sports like football and
basketball; far fewer injuries have been recorded. With all the
safety guidelines that are in place today cheerleading has been
able to overcome these worries.

Every cheerleading squad has a signature cheer that is
specifically for their team. This is a tradition that will
probably last as long as cheerleading itself will be with us.
Most of the time it includes the name of the school or
organization that the team is affiliated with.

All-star or competitive cheerleading can consist of a small or
large group of men and women performing their best stunts and
routines. They only have a few minutes to perform but what they
can accomplish in that time can be quite amazing. Cheerleading
is an exciting and fascinating profession.
