Yes it is. It takes a lot of strength, stamina and exercise. You also have to be flexible. Cheer leading lastly takes a lot of practice.

YES, my daughter is a cheerleader and it is very much a sport. Our girls practice longer and harder then the boys do. We compete 2 times a year and its a Lot hard work. My daughter has bigger muscles then the boys because of all the practices and work outs. Here is a poem I found hope you like it.
Am I an athlete too?
I always wanted to be just like you...
to go out there and please a crowd
to walk across a field feeling so proud
To know what it's like to win
to get out there and do my best again
Am I an athlete too?
I always wanted to be just like you...
To improve my skills and be the best
to fly the highest; right over the rest
To be a star and excell at life
to overcome pain, hurt, and strife
Am i an athlete too?
I always wanted to be just like you...
yo say I couldn't be an athlete
you say I couldn't take the heat
Oh I think I must be an athlete too
I do all of those things the way that you do
How could I not be an athlete if you are so?
I've told you before, but I want you to know:
I'm a cheerleader and I work as much; it's true
just because I wear a skirt doesn't mean I'm less than you!!!
i hope you liked this as much as she did...

Cheerleading is one of the toughest sports possible. Not only do you have to be incredibly flexible, you need to be incredibly athletic. Not many people can to a triple back-hand flip, you know(whatever that is). And cheerleading is a dangerous sport, too. Some cheerleaders die when they are thrown up in the air and the guys can't catch them. They fall, break bones, crack open their skull, and die. It incorporates gymnastics. Cheerleading is definitely a sport.

I would definately say yes. Not just anyone can be a cheerleader. You need to be flexible and have endurance. Cheerleaders are athletes. I would think that most are gymnasts.
