Cheerleading

Cheerleading is a sport that teaches young girls and boys to cheer on a team. It is a competitive sport so learning routines and practicing them is something this sport does often. Tumbling and stunts are some of the most dangerous things a cheerleader does. The stunts include being lifted in the air, sometimes two times taller than the person being lifted, and then thrown up to do a flip and then caught with three or sometimes two people. Tumbling is a type of gymnastics cheerleaders use to flip across the field or floor to get energy from the crowd, or to make their routines harder. The cheerleaders will memorize many chants and dances to perform at games and events. Cheerleaders spend most of their time practiceing and learning new things. When people say anyone can become a cheerleader, I think they need to try some of the things a cheerleader does.
