There has been debate on whether or not cheerleading truly is a sport. Supporters point to the fact that it requires lots of athletic talent and skill while critics point to the fact that the term sport implies competition amongst squads and not all squads compete. One thing’s for sure though, whether you are looking for something fun to try with mates or maybe a way meeting new ones where you can get active and compete, cheerleading can be all of these things so get involved! It will certainly get your heart racing.

In addition to cheering at games and competing, professional cheerleaders have been invited to do a lot of charity work, motivational speaking and television performances which can lead to a vast range of other things. Past famous cheerleaders include Miley Cyrus, Jessica Simpson and Christina Aguilera.
