Is cheerleading a Sport
#11
As far as the KHSAA goes, I think part of the debate with cheerleading being declared a sport is due to the fact that different schools treat and conduct their cheerleading squads in a variety of ways. Some schools are very casual with it, with their cheerleaders just cheering some games and not executing any types of skills (i.e. jumps, gymnastics, stunts, etc.), whereas others take cheerleading as seriously as any of the other sports at the school, having their girls compete regularly and displaying lots of skills at games, daily practices, and competitions. It seems as though the KHSAA, and other national high school sports organizations, have a difficult time declaring cheerleading as a sport when there is no "across the board" way of conducting the team. Basketball is basketball....they have X number of games, they have a tournament system that is relatively objective, etc. There is no doubt in my mind that some of the best athletes you will ever come across are on the sidelines in a cheerleading uniform, but I don't believe that you will see cheerleading being declared a sport any time soon!
