No. Currently cheerleading is the most dangerous women's sport in the country, with over 66% of catastrophic injuries. Its is ranked 3rd in the world, only under Rugby and Cave Diving in terms of death and catastrophic injuries. Hockey ranks between 8th and 10th

No. but you should. You do a lot of dancing & hair flippings in cheer. You wouldn't want your bangs all in your face, then you won't be able to see & you'll either mess up or look really dumb. Some coaches do make you put you bangs up, and if you don't you get marked down points.

Depends if it's standing or running. Standing it would be bhs. Running it would prob be round off

You can be any height and be a cheerleader, but most are a little bit shorter because it is easier to do lifts and flips if someone in shorter.

Two bases, a backspot, a frontspot, and a flyer. So, 5 in all.

cheerleading started in 1884 at princeston university when a man named Thomas Peebles got in front of the crowd of fans for his home team during a football game. He started yelling a series of made up words such as ray ray ray! and sis sis sis! so yes, cheerleading was created by a MAN and yes he was only one person but later on more nmen started to join and then women came and took over :)

a standing full

^that is one of the hardest skills. the actual hardest is a standing double, normally performed in All-Star Cheerleading.

^the hardest standing tumbling is actually a standing double layout commonly used in college or competetive chherleading.

With the highest paid cheerleading, the highest paid team is any of them that work in the NFL. All teams have different salary, but each team pays the same to each players. The Dallas Cowboys make around 1 million a year.

Yes they're not a typical side line cheerleading team they're competitive.

today cheerleading is alot more competive then it used to be. there still is sideline cheerleading for football and basketball but there are also competions where teams put together a two and a half minute routien and compete againist each other with a pannel of judges. the routien includes stunts tumbling dance jumps and a team cheer.

marching band: right on key; crank it up
cheerleading: break it down; turn it up

Because she has to have good grades to play any type of sport or the coach will kick them of the team

well what do you define as a beginners backflips? A backflip is simply four steps:

1.Jump up not backwards, it depletes your height if you jump backwards, you also need to throw your arms up into the air(this really makes a difference if you don't do this you will get little height and probably hurt your self).

2.Tuck really tight when your at the peek of you jump, that means grabbing your arms around your legs and pulling your legs into you body tightly.

3.lean backwards so you rotate.

4.spot the ground and land, mostly its a feeling, when you feel your body is about upright just untuck and try to land.

some tips: start by getting a spotter to help you filp. all the spotter has to do is put 1 hand on your back and 1 hand near your thighs. also try going to a gymnasim.

You can do what i did which is learn on a trampoline or some people pools, then try off some high platforms i did it off sand dunes at the beach, the moved to grass slops and finally flat ground grass and concrete. BUT I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS WAY!!!!

This move requires a hell of a lot of confidence so if you are really scared DO NOT DO IT BECAUSE YOU WILL BAIL AND REALLY HURT YOURSELF!!!!!!!

Heres some youtube tutorials I used when i first started:

This leads on to some really cool moves like x-outs, flash kicks and gainers.

REMEMBER THIS IS A VERY DANEROUS MOVE SO PLEASE BECAREFUL!!!! DO THIS MOVE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Have fun and good luck! :)

I'm not quite sure if you mean teach cheerleading or if you mean to take a class yourself...

Usually to take a cheerleading class the youngest age is usually 3 years old. To teach a cheerleading class I'm not sure, it usually depends on the gym/studio that you want to teach at.

Sorry, hope that helped a little(:

It's a fun experience. In a way, it's kind of like a sisterhood where you have a whole team that will support you and give you advice on just about anything (especially if you're an underclassmen).

I feel ya sister! Im about 5 foot 5 and i weight pretty much 120. im a cheerleader and my dream has always been to fly my coach actually let me for a while but the thing you really have to look at is where do you stand in comparison with the rest of your squad? are you the tallest? (usually height is a bigger deal than weight i promise.) if your not then your weight really shouldnt matter. ( i see this is under diet and weightloss. you dont need to loose any weight to fly you are fine the way you are! ) and if u are the tallest (like me sadley) or the strongest..(like me even more sadley..) chances are you wont get to fly ( like me saddest lol) i know its not cool. If you can do some stunts like scorpion or heel stretches like me that gives you a better chance. SO BASICALLY all you need to look at is are you too tall? and are you good enough? if your like me^^ then you will see your chances arnt that great but if you actually arnt tallest or whatever you prolly wont end up as a backspot like me.. :P

Love,

JV Wildcat cheerleader(:

It really does depend on the rest of those on the team. You're flexibility also matters a lot. You can be the teeniest kid there but if you don't have all your body positions you probably won't fly

0-2

In a cheerleading stunt all positions are important. A flyer is important obviously, because they are the presenter, they are the focus of the crowd, and that job requires a lot of muscle in the arms. A backspot is also very important because they lift and support the ankles, and give the flyer the initial push to get her up, also if anything goes wrong they must catch the flyer. The bases are also important, because they create a safe place for the flyer to stand, and support her legs if you cradle (to finish off the stunt).

my personal answer to this would be no. cheerleading takes every single muscle in your body to do everything, swimming is mainly just your arms and legs. i have been a competitive cheerleader for 11 years now and I'm 14 years old. so i think i would know about cheerleading..
