Many gymnastics gyms have cheerleading classes where you can stunt, tumble, and jump. Your local community house or YMCA may also have cheer lessons to learn the basics.
If you want to be/look more advanced, you can do a one man stunt, involving 2 people, or you can do other stunts that have 4 people. A flyer, 2 bases, and a backspot. By taking a front spot away, it is harder but adds difficulty points and gives you extra people to add for another stunt, or tumbling, etc.
There are about 12-35 cheerleaders on a team
Usually teams go to cheerleading camp together to learn their routines, or improve their skills.
The group stunts in gymnastics are stunts done by many of the group all at the same time. Some of the group stunts that you will see include the Merry Go Round, the Triple Roll, and the Snake.
100%. unless certain teams allow so many girls in their gym.

Too many things to list, but one of the more dangerous activities for young girls is cheerleading or gymnastics. Some have literally broken necks.
depends on the school school event and how many girls and boys there are so if you are talking football games boys probally if its cheerleading more girls
I'm not sure how many teams, but I do know that there is around 2 million girls involved with cheerleading in the US. There are currently about 30 countries in the world that have competitive cheerleading squads
Although, there are many positions in cheerleading, many are focused around a stunt. Within each stunt there are 4 positions. First, a flyer. The flyer is the individual who gets thrown up or pushed up in the air. A flyers job is to be very tight, and selfcontroling while at the same time flexible, aware of her surroundings and focused. Supporting the flyer there is a maximum of 4 people - two bases, a backspot and a front spot. The bases are the ones who are the most responsible for getting a flyer into the air aswell as her safety coming back down to the ground. Bases usually hold the flyers feet in a specific way, depending on the stunt. A bases must have upper body strength aswell as leg strength. It is very important the base's legs give most of the power in lifting the flyer. This prevents pulling back muscles. A bases aswell as the entire stunt group must keep their eyes on the flyer at all times. The backspot is responsible in assisting a flyer into a stunt aswell as security once the flyer is in the air. The flyer is usually loaded in by the backspot grabbing the flyers waist of butt depending on the stunt. When coming out of a stunt the backspot job is to support the flyers back. The front spot is the last part of a stunt. The front is usually present for ankle support for the flyer or wrist support for the bases. The front is also there for security incase of a fall When dismounting a stunt the front is responsible for the flyer's legs. There are other various positions in cheerleading such as tumblers who tumble throughout the rountine. The entire team usually participates in dancing.
