Cheerleading is a physical activity that combines elements of dance, gymnastics, and acrobatics. It typically involves a group of individuals, known as cheerleaders, who perform choreographed routines to support sports teams, entertain crowds, and promote school spirit. Cheerleaders often use pom-poms, megaphones, and banners during their performances. In addition to supporting athletic events, cheerleading can also be a competitive sport. Teams compete in various competitions, showcasing their skills in stunts, tumbling, and dance. Safety is a key focus, with many organizations providing guidelines and training to prevent injuries among cheerleaders.
