Princeton graduate Thomas Peebles introduced the idea of organized crowds cheering at football games to the University of Minnesota. However, it was not until 1898 that University of Minnesota student Johnny Campbell directed a crowd in cheering "Rah, Rah, Rah! Sku-u-mar, Hoo-Rah! Hoo-Rah! Varsity! Varsity! Varsity, Minn-e-So-Tah!”, making Campbell the very first cheerleader
Organized cheerleading started out as an all-male activity at the University of Minnesota in 1898.
the first cheerleading team started in the university of minnesota
it got started in the 90s because girls/boys who didnt make there school cheer squad or whoever just wasnt old enough to be in hs could be in an all star team and that's how it got started!
When cheerleading first started, it was by a boy. therefore, boys and girls were partaking in the sport. When it started.
1898
yes, johnny campell "invented" for lack of a better word, cheerleading. He was at a football game, when he started saying chants and got more and more people doing it. That became known as cheerleading and has formed into cheerleading today. :]
It is said that Lawrence Herkimer, the grandfather of cheerleading started it all.
She was a cheerleader?
