It is not the memorization of chants, cheers and dances that make cheer leading a sport. It is the competetive aspect of Cheerleading that makes it a sport. The definition of a sport is: an activity with rules or customs engaged in competitively.
Cheerleading involves: jumping, cheering, dancing, stunts and tosses (elements of lifting or throwing athletes into the air) and, tumbling (gymnastics). There are three different types of cheerleading: School (Middle, High, and College), Association (Pop Warner), and All-Star or competitive. Each has their own governing body. National Cheerleading Association (NCA) for High School. The United States All-Star Federation (USASF) and the International All-Star Federation (IASF) for All-Star cheerleaders. Cheerleading has come a long way since its beginning, and it is no longer girls-with-pom-poms shouting GO TEAM GO! With the addition of All-Star cheerleading and advanced stunting and tumbling elements, as well as long hours spent each week at practice and conditioning, cheerleaders have become extreme athletes pushing their bodies to limits that most people only imagine.
Obviously these organizations consider cheerleading a sport, as well as the athletes who participate in it. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) has yet to recognize cheerleading as a sport even though it accounts for 66.7 of all female catastrophic sports injuries. ESPN recognizes cheerleading as a sport and broadcasts the NCA High School Nationals, as well as the USASF Cheerleading Worlds for All-Star cheerleaders. During the 2009 Worlds USASF launched it's Be an All-Star campaign promoting All-Star cheerleading and the sport as a whole. Plans have been made for cheerleading to be featured in the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. For these athletes, this is their dream, their goal, what they strive for, what they live for. Cheerleading is their sport.
