Cheerleading began in the United States in the late 1800s, with organised cheering at university sporting events. Over time, women played a major role in transforming it into an activity combining dance, gymnastics, athleticism and performance.
Today, cheerleading is more than supporting a team. It develops confidence, discipline, teamwork, coordination and leadership, giving girls another space to express themselves and participate in sport.
From the sidelines to centre stage — cheerleading has become a sport where girls can move, lead and shine. 📣💪🏽
