Different Types Of Cheerleaders

Cheer leading is a sport activity where the members i.e. the cheerleaders encourage their team members in the form of dance, acrobatics, gymnastics, intense physical activities, jumps, and sometimes also by raising slogans. There are certain rules which the cheerleaders need to adhere to in order to avoid injuries and accidents. Cheer leading is associated with group sports like football, basket ball, wrestling, volleyball, hockey etc. Amidst the fun, people are prone to lot of severe injuries because of lack of proper training. But with evolution, these are avoided to a great extent by providing proper training and applying universal safety standards.

Until and unless you are a cheerleader and you’re involved in cheer leading, it is not easy to understand the different areas and the different types of cheer leading. Here we have attempted to explain the main sectors of cheer leading:

• All stars cheerleaders:  All star cheerleaders are generally associated with competition. They undergo rigorous training and practice sessions. Their main goal is to compete, and they won’t support or cheer any particular team. The all star cheerleaders are skilled in multiple things like gymnastics, tumbling, dance and stunting, and they have different coaches for each of these. Their skill level is very high. It is assumed that all star cheer leading is the fastest growing area in the field of cheer leading. But all star cheer leading can become an expensive activity considering their travel expenses, uniforms, lessons from more than one coach etc.
• Scholastic cheerleaders:  This is the category of cheerleaders which everybody is familiar with. They are closely associated with a particular school, and unlike the all star cheer leading, they cheer up for sports, and they support particular teams. Among the group of scholastic cheerleaders, there are few achievers who can go ahead and tryout for competitions. But for that they need to clear certain tests and the decision lies with the coaches. Sometimes popularity can also take part in the selection process while the other times, voting is done. So here, in scholastic cheerleaders, the performers may vary from basic and beginners to the advanced and the achievers. Unlike all star cheerleaders, scholastic cheerleaders cheer for sports like football, volleyball, hockey, wrestling, basket ball etc.
• Recreation cheerleaders:  This type of cheerleader is mostly associated with a community or a department like a church’s recreation or the American Youth Football. They might be associated according to the state or might be associated according to the region. The cost of becoming a recreation cheerleader is very less because a recreation cheerleader is paid less as compared to other cheerleaders.
• Pro cheerleaders: Pro cheerleaders are basically considered as entertainers rather than real cheerleaders. It is very easy to make it to a pro cheer leading squad because of which the number of applicants is very high as compared to the other types. They are paid quite less, but they have lot of opportunities in terms of traveling and if they want to make it big into the entertainment industry.  People with good looks, having good communication skills, and dance skills are likely to become a part of it.

So, cheer leading is all about sports, physical strength, discipline, stamina and body flexibility. It is not easy to be a cheerleader, because it needs dedication, time and rigorous practice. But the rewards are amazing. The skills and the training that you achieve will be something which you will cherish for your entire life.
