competitive cheerleading
Acrobatic team performance sport
Competitive cheerleading is cheerleading performed as a scored athletic competition rather than sideline support for other sports.
Teams execute choreographed routines combining stunts, tumbling, jumps, and dance, judged on difficulty, precision, and synchronization: Her daughter's competitive cheer squad travels to nationals every year.
The activity has grown increasingly distinct from traditional cheerleading, with its own governing bodies and championship circuits.
