Cheerleading

Cheerleading is a dynamic and multifaceted activity that combines elements of dance, gymnastics, stunts, and teamwork. It originated in the late 19th century in the United States as a way to support athletic teams and has since evolved into a competitive sport in its own right. Cheerleading can be broadly categorized into two main types:

1. Sideline Cheerleading: Primarily focused on leading cheers and chants to support sports teams and entertain crowds at games and events.
2. Competitive Cheerleading: Involves teams performing choreographed routines that are judged on difficulty, execution, creativity, and overall performance.
