Page "Cheerleading" Paragraph 16

Most American middle schools, high schools, and colleges have organized cheerleading squads made up solely of students.

Several colleges that compete at cheerleading competitions offer cheerleading scholarships.

School-sponsored cheerleading promotes school spirit and motivate the players and fans.

A cheerleading team may compete outside of sporting events ( local, regional, and national competitions ), and cheer for sporting events and encourage audience participation.

Cheerleading is quickly becoming a year-round sport, starting with tryouts during the spring of the preceding school year, organized camp as a team, practices, attendance at various sporting events and ending with National competition season, typically from winter through spring.
