Facts, Facts, Facts
Cheerleading is over 100 years old and in the beginning all cheerleaders were men! Even though cheerleading is over 100 years old All-Star cheer didn't start until the 1980's. the cheerleading capital of the United States is Texas.
Athletes Wear Bows
Mostly everyone knows cheerleaders love bows. I myself have seven different bows! This picture (to the left) shows one of my favorites. I have a bow similar to this but a little different in color, mine is black and grey but with the same saying.
Flying and basing
Everyone has their own job in a stunt group and every job is important. The bases and backspots make sure the flyer doesn't fall and the flyer has to make sure she locks her legs otherwise the whole stunt is coming down.
Quote
This quote literally states the facts. Especially about the team being your family, you may not like another girl/boy outside of cheer but inside of cheer you have to treat them like family.
The sports
Cheerleading is a very popular sport for high school and college sports. The number one sport for cheerleaders is football followed by basketball.
