According to many people cheerleading is only cute girls in little uniforms who cheer for cute football players. But what they don't see is that cheerleading is much more then that and it's indeed a sport. Behind the pom pom's, the mini skirts and the tight uniforms there is a true sport. Cheerleading is in fact a wonderful sport that requires teamwork, strength,agility and intelligence, just like any sport.
For an example basketball. Just like basketball cheerleading requires strategy and concentration, meaning when the girl is in the air we need to be concentrated on doing everything right so that the girl doesn't fall, one bad movement and the girl in the air can get seriously hurt. Just like any team sport we need teamwork. If there is no teamwork how will we get the girl in the air, because without teamwork everything could go wrong and again not only the girl in the air can get hurt but the girls that are holding her too. Cheerleading needs alot of muscle because we need to lift up the girl for a long period of time and we cant drop her. People say figure skating is a sport or gymnastics, when these sports have little uniforms too. When u see girls on the ice in the olympics they all have little tight dresses and they do flips and other things that we can do in cheerleading that people find inappropriate to do in cheerleading uniforms. Its the same with gymnastics, they have tight skin uniforms the only difference is they don't have the skirt and the little shorts that go under the skirt, which I find even more inappropriate.
So what is under the uniform? It's a great sport that requires teamwork, strength,agility and intelligence. A sport just like basketball,gymnastics,weight lifting, etc. A sport that means more then little uniforms and cheering on cute boys. Cheerleading should be a sport, is a sport, and a fun one above all.
