Beside every sports team is a group of cheerleaders performing cheers and stunts as well as motivating the crowd. The trained athletes tumble, dance, and jump which is very physical. Cheerleading originated in American and remains a predominantly American sport. There are an estimated 1.5 million all-star cheerleaders in the country.
Televised cheerleading competitions like the one broadcast by ESPN International each year showcases the skill of cheerleaders. Over 100,000 participants in Australia, Canada, China, Colombia, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom travel to participate in the event. Popular movies keep cheerleaders and cheerleading competitions at the forefront of people’s minds.
Cheerleading is predominantly a female sport but it was founded to be an all-male activity. In 1877, Princeton University had a “Princeton Cheer”. Twenty years later, the term “Cheer Leader” was coined and the idea spread like wildfire at college campuses like the University of Minnesota.
Cheerleading can be offered as a school-sponsored sport. You see cheerleading squads in middle school, high schools, and colleges around the country.
