Cheerleading

Cheerleading is a sporting activity in which participants called “cheerleaders” cheer on the team they support. This encouragement can take many forms, from the simple chanting of slogans to intense physical activity. Cheerleading can be done to motivate teams and entertain the public. It is also a competition in which the events generally last one to three minutes. This competition consists of five disciplines: songs called scands or cheers, acrobatics or gymnastic elements called tumbling, jumps, lifts called stunts and dance.
