for those of you who said cheerleading wasnt a sport obviously dont know my coach or my school...we run 2 miles a day and run stairs and are timed...our 1st mile has to be under 7 minutes and we arent aloud to walk any of it, we do 12 min abs everyday and tumble...our lowest tumbling skill is a roundoff back handspring and the coach that i have has won nationals and gotton high point and 1st place at every competition....no one on the squad is fat or even chubby...im 140 lbs and am 5'6 but my chest is 36 my waist is 27.5 and my hips/butt is 37...i dont think people should say its not a sport if they cant do ANY of the stuff we do...

and you've obviopusly have never played tennis because you do run. hard core. the thing is you run and stop and it's definately continious and it's not even one of those stupid sports where it's all about force- it's about control, strtegy and how fast you can sprint...

nah, i still think cheerleading is a wussy waste of time look at the name CHEER LEADING your job is to run and jump around in short skirts in front of the crowd and LEAD CHEERS hence the name cheerleading ... and yeah any kind of actual team could kick your ass

Some guys at my school say cheerleading is a sport and I always see this debate happening so I am use to it....But I think sideline where u just cheer for a team maybe isnt a sport but competition is a sport cuz u are competeing for a trophy and are tryin to win what are you doing in basketball competing for a trophy and tryin to win so think before u say cheerleadering at least comp isnt a sport and I have many friend who are cheerleaders and they are in such great shape its not even funny they are in better shape then some other athletes aand you can letter in cheerleader and stuff and have a lot of practice and work hard weightlift and everything so YES it is a SPORT

I would definetley say cheerleading is a sport.. running, building muscle, flexability... plus i mean chearleaders (highly commited ones) are usually in wicked great shape they have to be able to lift people completley over their heads and have to be much more flexible... i mean the only thing thats missing is hitting a baseball... all sports are different but its still a sport... thats like saying gymnastics isnt a sport.. yet its in the olympics...hmmmm....

The definition of a sport varies... but my opinion is this: cheerleading has only recently become a sport when competitions started happening. It is just as much of a sport as golf or tennis is... because all three of them require less running than the common sports. Cheerleaders would be able to do a TON more gymnastics than a soccor/basketball/baseball player, but would completely, totally, and utterly lose a race of either speed or endurance, because that it what those athletes use. Also, cheerleading does not require any aim or much hand-eye coordination, but much more flexibility. They both can be technically termed a "sport"... but in the common sense of the word (meaning: an active, point-scoring game), then it isn't one.

If you are active, its a sport. Because if it wasnt a sport, they wouldnt get starter jackets.
