Cheerleading is a popular sport.  It is very challenging.  There are stunts, tumbling, jumps, cheers, and dances.  All of those things are in a routine.  There is more than one kind of cheerleading. Cheerleading has been around for a very long time.  Cheerleading started in the early 1950’s but they mainly only cheered for football.   School cheerleading is the other kind of cheerleading.  School cheerleaders usually don’t compete but if they do then they are usually small competitions.  Competitive cheerleaders competes a lot of different competitions.  Some of the ones that they go to are UCA, NCA, Cheer Power, and a lot more.  You also have to travel to Dallas, Texas, Orlando, Florida, Baltimore, Maryland, Washington D.C., and Columbus, Ohio.  There are a lot of competitive teams that you can be on.  I myself am on a team.  I am on Pennsylvania Storm all stars.  Competitive cheerleading is a fun sport and I love to do it.
