Hey twins, it is hard for most schools to do what you say without any financial or moral support from their administration. Most schools do not pay the cheerleading coaches very much nor do they try to find good coaches for the cheerleading program. The schools that have coaches that do treat it like a sport have really strong programs and their cheerleaders are just as much athletes as any other team. Look at Greenup, Dunbar, Pikeville, North Laurel, Madison Central, Bowling Green, Madisonville, Graves County, Reidland etc. They work hard at what they do and they compete on a national level. Wrestling is always considered a sport, but I know of very few schools that actually have a program. That doesn't mean it shouldn't be considered a sport. Most schools just don't have the money to do another program like wrestling, and the same applies to competition cheerleading. Most schools don't have a coach that is willing to put in that much time to have a competitive team when the pay is so low as well as the financial support from the administration. The school's that do have been blessed to have an adult that is willing to give their time. Competition cheerleading is a sport but will never be able to be supported at a majority of schools.
