Cheerleading is an expensive sports because the students have to pay about $200 only for a single performance , the uniform costs from $100 to $400 . The uniform is a tailor-made to the exact measurements of each cheerleaders. The pom-pom have to be imported from United States or Taiwan.

Answer :

Cheerleading is a such tough sports because it need to put in hours of practice . When the competitions approach, most teams needs to increase the frequency of their training from an average of twice a week to five times a weeks. It requires teamwork to get stunts done. Its not easy and it is not just for for fun.


2) What is your opinion of cheerleaders? If given a chance, would you join cheerleading? Why/ why not?

- My opinion of cheerleaders are that this kind of sports are a tough one. It is because it needs a lot of stamina and teamwork to make a perfect cheerleading .The cheerleaders have to do a perfect flip,flop tumbling stunts. With the help of boys , it will ease the burden of the girls because the boys can carry the girls and tumble them . If the girls carry the girls , its a hard one. cheerleaders need to have a lot if money and strong fianancial because this is an expensive sports . If i have given a chance, i would not join cheerleading because cheerleading needs a lot of time to focus on it . It needs a lot of moneys to paid for the accessories and the uniform . It have to be fit to join cheerleading. Cheerleading takes a lot of hardwork and when the competitions approach , the routiine became tighter. the practice will became five or three times a week . That is the routine when there is competitions approach . The cheerleaders have to be proffesional to became a perfect cheerleaders.
If there is someone who is really interested in cheerleading, he/her will put more focus on cheerleading and will pay a lot of money on it and take the cheerleading seriously . If they not interested, its a such waste because they have to pay a lot of money but they did not take the cheerleading seriously.
