This sport
has a long history being one of the most important activities around the world.
This activity started in the 18th century. Most of the people
related this sport with women and short skirts. However, in the 18th only
men were permitted to participate. The female participation started on 1923.
In 1948,
one of the most important cheerleading association was formed the NCA (National
Cheerleaders Association).
They were in charge to create clinic or training
camps to cheerleaders and starting the first rules for this sport.
After 1950
the people considered the cheerleading as a professional activity. Nowadays,
there are many associations and worldwide competitions every year.

Hi Liliana!
ResponderEliminarI didn't know that it existed since those days. I couldn't even imagine it. Good to know it!
Hi Liliana!
ResponderEliminarThis is such an interesting topic!
I also didn't know it was a sport with a long history.
When I was a child I wanted to join to a municipal team, but I must confess that this activity is much more than just jumping, as you said well in your previous publication.
In fact, I did not know much about cheerleading. I think it is interesting and amusing to do such thing.
