Well, I'd consider competitive ballroom dancing a sport long before cheerleading.\n\nTrust me, I meant this as a compliment.

Here is a definition of "sport" from Wikipedia:\n\n"A sport is an activity requiring physical ability, physical fitness or physical skill which usually, but not always, involves competition between two or more people."\n\nI would say that competitive and sideline cheerleading are sports.  There is physical demand and there are several physical skills that not everybody can posses, and it is not necessary to  compete to be considered a sport.\n\nI was never a cheerleader, I was one of those male major sport athlete where the cheerleaders cheered for me!  And I can't do those things that they do!

To answer this question, you would have to ask yourself the definition of "sport." A sport consists of a physical activity carried out with a recreational purpose for competition, for self-enjoyment, to attain excellence, for the development of a skill, or some combination of these. A sport has physical activity, side by side competition, self-motivation and a scoring system. The difference of purpose is what characterises sport, combined with the notion of individual (or team) skill or prowess.\n\nAs you can see, a sport is a physical activity, which cheerleading is, and deals with competition, and I know there are cheerleading competitions. Cheerleading can be done individualy or with a team. So YES! I believe cheerleading is indeed a sport.\n\nTHE ABOVE STATEMENT BY THE OTHER PERSON IS FALSE. READ THE DEFINITION AND YOU WILL SEE THAT A SPORT CAN INDEED BE FOR SELF ENJOYMENT. Thanks.

Well, while most are abusing. I think it's an awesome sport. It takes a lot of skill to stay on beat and land everything perfectly. It's really cool to watch and I only wish I possesed the skill necessary to play such a sport.

I am a cheerleader and of course cheerleading is a sport!!!!!!\nit actually is the most dangerous sport in the world too!!!! more people get injured in it then any other sport.....\n\nit is a sport because you run around, scream as loud as you can, lift and throw ppl up into the air, do jumps, and do gymnastics....\n\nanyone that thinks cheer isnt a sport...i would really like to see them try to do all-star cheer, or any kind of cheer at that

Good Question\nThe answer would be- Yes & No\nIt involves physical skill , so it qualifies as a sport & it has predictable & pre planned results , hence its not.

It isn't considered a sport because unlike gymnastics and iceskating, people that dance don't compete in big competitions like the Olympics. I don't think that's fair because people get excersize from dance just like the other sports, but that's my oppinion and that's not what you asked. Anyway, that's why I think dance isn't considered a sport.

I think it should be considered as a sport, for you at least. You actually take it seriously. I hate it when people give cheerleaders a bad name... even though I am not a cheerleader. For example, the other day someone asked: I need cheers for "cheer litting"\nYeah.... so I think that's great that you were nominated for that!

I agree with you. I'm a guy cheerleader and at first i thought it would be easy. I was wrong!! I think it is one of the hardest things i do, and i have an all new respect for it. Well good luck with cheerleading and don't listen to those people who don't know any better.
