When Cheerleading first started, it was an all male sport. The sole purpose of cheerleaders (then call yell leaders) was to direct fans in the school cheer. Soon after in the 20's women were added in the sport with the addition of pom pons, and very basic stunts(people kneeling on eachother) and tumbling(cartwheels). Until the 80's, the main purpose of cheerleading was to direct crowds and cheer on sports teams. Some more talented schools went to competitions. It wasn't until the first All-Star team emerged that the focus of some squad turned solely competitive. All-Star squads do NOT support athletic events, their only purpose is to compete. This is when more advanced and complicate stunts and tumbling were added because athletes had the time and the certified coaches (not merely teachers who were sponsors) to teach higher skills
