Your Child's Health: Cheerleading Injuries

[mcgd711xx]

cheerleading is totally a sport and I am not trying to start a fight or anything but why are all the injuries I am hearing about are high school cheerleaders?

"When you hear the phrase rehabing a torn ACL, you may think it refers to an athlete like a football player, not a teenage girl." So teenage girls aren't athletes and are immune to serious injury?

its a sport. end of story. may be hard to believe but yes u can wear a skirt, a cute pony tail and a bow and be athletic. cheerleading is a sport. competitive cheerleading anyways is VERY HARD . im an allstar cheerleader and it is very difficult and total BS when someone says its not a sport. they couldnt do half the stuff we do

@sexypurplemoose I think it's a sport. Lol trust me, I couldn't do even LESS than half of what you guys do.

@sexypurplemoose i agree with you 100% i am a cheerleader myself and its extreamly hard to lift girls. idk what part of the stunt you are but im aa back and being the back it kills your back and you get in in the face the most out of the whole stunt group.and i know how flying is also i am a sub flyer....that part is not easy also
