The History of Cheerleading

[Back]

Cheerleading started out as an all-male activity, but females began participating in 1923, due to limited availability of female collegiate sports and men being drafted for war. At this time, gymnastics, tumbling, and megaphones were incorporated into popular cheers, and are still used.

In the early 2000s, cheerleading was considered one of the most dangerous school activities. The main source of injuries comes from stunting, also known as pyramids. These stunts are performed at games and pep rallies, as well as competitions. Sometimes competition routines are focused solely around the use of difficult and risky stunts.

Here in Polestars, we make sure that you will not fall from the human pyramid or perform risky stunts. So if you want to try a safer form of cheerleading you could let us host your Birthday/Hen Night with one of our amazing Cheerleading Parties!
