Cheer is not just a sport. It is intense physical activity with a purpose- to serve as a motivation for the team. Taking two full sport seasons, the dedication and energy required from these young cheerleaders is unbelievable. For up to 2 1/2 hours a day, they work together to achieve their goal: perfect routines to make the Hilltop Football and Basketball teams engulf in victories. These devoted cheerleaders spent 3 days at Cheer Camp and one day at the District Camp, where they expanded their knowledge and creativity for our school. However, these days spent were not for competition, but for learning from each other. Still, their natural competitive nature filled their minds and actions, self-motivating them to execute their best efforts…
174). This shows that if you have the right certifications and safe teaching tips, you have literally no chance of getting hurt in cheer. A final reason why these sports even football shouldn’t be banned in school is because the more you teach younger kids about football, the less hurt they will become out on the field. My evidence from the text to support my answer is, “Even though most coaches have the right ideas in terms of how to teach players to hit, there are those at youth football who need to be more educated on tackling techniques”(pg 197). This also teaches how if we need to teach kids more about techniques of how to safely play the game, we can. In conclusion, these sports shouldn’t be banned in schools because dodgeball teaches mental and physical skills, in cheer there are coaches who are trained and certified, and in football more teachings about techniques means less…

Most people think cheerleading isn’t a sport, but it is one of Females’ most dangerous sport. The definition of a sport is an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature. If one were to think about cheerleading, it has all the qualities of a sport. In addition cheerleading is accountable for 67 percent of all collage sports injuries. Most of the injuries come from the elite level stunts and gymnastic like tumbling. (FACT). Cheerleading should be recognized as a real sport. (THISIS). Cheerleading has a high risk of injury. (ARGUMENT 1). Cheerleading takes strength and stamina (ARGUMENT 2). Cheerleading requires full dedication from the athlete. (ARGUMENT 3).…
In my opinion I think that Cheerleading should be a competitive sport because cheerleaders work as hard as all other sport players do. For example cheerleaders show muscle, athleticism and agility when practicing and cheering at games. Cheerleaders show muscle because they lift other people they throw and stack people on top of other people to make a pyramid. They show Agility because when doing cheers they have to make sharp and quick movements with their hands and their feet. I don’t think that it’s fair that cheerleading isn’t a competitive sport because it doesn’t involve a ball. That is why I think that cheerleading is just as much as a sport than any other…
Football Football needs to be safer because it is a sport filled with injury and the injuries could affect them for the rest of their life. What i want to happen is they need to make football a little safer. And they need to also make it so if you get injured you get your contract cut. And if they were to do that it would make it more like if i get injured i could lose my job so it makes they more careful. I also think that there team would be disappointed in them.…
Cheerleading has always been a part of me, ever since I was a little girl. I grew up hearing my mom tell me stories about when she was a cheerleader. She took me to high school football games to watch my cousin cheer. I cheered for JFL in fifth and sixth grades and I absolutely loved it. In seventh grade, there was an actual cheer tryout and…
Cheerleading can be a dangerous sport if you don't follow the proper rules and it is important to know what you are doing someone gets injured. If you try to do a stunt that is difficult you need to have the proper practice and training. Cheerleading can be a safe sport only if you have done it correctly.…
It teaches the importance of certain life qualities and some lessons to take away. The cheerleaders compete at compititions against other teams. Knowing this information still makes people indecisive in their decision of if cheer qualifies as a sport. According to Eileen Lofrese (Macedo, 2010, para. 10-11), most people can’t decide whether cheer is a sport or not because of its inconsistency. Some schools may only have a cheer team that cheers at games, but other schools have a competitive varsity team. Coach Stevens (personal communication, January 20, 2016) says that she believes cheer is a sport that isn’t fully developed yet. She…
The reputation of partaking in the sport is further magnified because cheerleading is in a category of activities that many people would not even label cheerleading as a sport. As a college cheerleader, I hear other men’s opinions and the school’s athletic department constantly express how cheerleading isn’t an actual sport. The perception that cheerleading is far from being a "real" sport implies that men must be playing the appropriate male qualified sports, such as football or other aggressive contact sports. This is said as a way for boys to demonstrate their level of masculinity (Suitor and Reavis). Such remarks provide an appalling outlook on the significance of participating in a "real" sporting activity in comparison to a feminine sport.…
Football is not too dangerous to be played in high school. Football is a popular sport with half a million injuries nationally. 4 out of every 1000 high school football exposures resulted in an injury and 8 of out of every 1000 collegiate football exposures resulted in injuries so that means that even if it’s played in high school or college levels there is still a risk of injuries. High school football players have a greater proportion of getting season ending injuries as in fractures and concussions. High levels of ankle and knee injuries are most common when playing football. But to avoid these injuries it’s recommended that players condition their ankles and knees more, and a change at protecting the more vulnerable body parts. To make…
Cheerleading is a dangerous activity. The main objective is for young girls not go into a competitive squad because they could get very hurt and have no time to themselves. Cheerleaders from 1A universities and competition squads have done surveys and tests to see basic information such as how much time is used for practices, ways the cheerleaders get hurt, types of injuries, location, and injury frequency Research has shown that over 50% of all catastrophic injuries in women’s sports alone has been caused by cheerleading. Guidelines and policy should be stricter to the guidelines of injuries just as if cheerleading was any other sport.…
No matter what kind of day I have had or what day it is, cheerfulness and excitement springs up and carries me during, before and after the games. My passion for dance has also allowed me to create many choreographies for my school, such as a dance routine for our school’s panther pride theme song, football and basketball cheers, and chants, and entertainment performances during games’ timeouts. Many people fail to realize the true purpose and beauty behind cheering for it revolves around the art of choreography. My viewpoint of cheerleading goes beyond the fancy bow, the shell crop top, the socks, the skirt, and the tennis shoes. As I move with much enthusiasm and avidity, I become the uniform. Even though cheering has been something I have done for ten years of my life, I challenge myself to become a better cheerleader every…

Cheerleading is a physical activity that I think most are aware of. Some qualify it as a sport which should receive the same notoriety as an even more familiar game such as basketball. Jennie Yabroff belongs to that community. There are also those who dismiss it as mindless women dancing for their health. I myself at one point in my life doubted the aspects of cheering and didn’t qualify it as a legitimate sport. I have grown out of that stubborn mindset and held cheering to the same standards as other sports. Jennie Yarbroff has something to say to the sport of cheering doubters and she defends the sport throughout her essay.…
