They haven't said it in the comments because most people that don't think it is a sport wouldn't watch cheer videos but a lot of people have said it in real life
Dante Crews sorry I love senior elite but panthers difficulty is off the charts, senior elite needs to seriously upgrade their difficulty if they even want to globe this year, it’s exactly what killed them last year, they play it way too safe.
to everybody complaining that there should be “plus size cheerleaders accepted on the team”: you cant do these sorts of tricks, train as much as these girls and have this high energy if you’re plus size, as you’ll eventually loose weight. cheer is a very difficult sport and like any exsercise, makes you lose weight. it’s not difficult🤦🏽♀️ ps. sorry for spelling mistakes, i am dyslexic lol xxx edit: okay i just wanted to clear up that i didn’t mean to invalidate any plus size or bigger girls who cheer. i’m wasn’t trying to imply it was impossible, but i meant that if you’re training 6+ hours a day for these types of shows then you are going to eventually lose some weight and have your weight distributed differently. i am a dancer, and while i know it’s not quite the same, we have plus size girls who dance with us, but after a couple months their body does start to change. im not saying they’ll turn into size 0s overnight but they always do get more into shape. im totally for body inclusivity and cheer shouldn’t be based on looks but rather on skill. i just meant that lots of people were getting mad at the fact there were no bigger girls on the team, but after months or years of training they would eventually lose at least some weight xx
Stormy exactly, but i assume you’re on like a school cheer? these girls probably train everyday for hours on end with the amount of competitions and displays they do, and therefore the must exercise a lot? sorry if i assumed, you could be on a proper club team i’m not sure x
PerfectlyImperfect not all people who exercise like them immediately loose weight as you say, it’s a misconception. but you can be as strong as these girls, and be plus size.
Emma LaPointe i know it’s not an overnight thing, but these girls are absolutely pristine and they look really athletic. with this type of job for them, their lives will mostly be training so i meant like professional cheerleaders? i’m sorry if it came out like i meant all cheer but yh you’re exactly right, weight loss doesn’t happen overnight x
Yup! I was chubby when I joined my cheer team and by the team it came to competition I lost ALL my weight and we were only level too. You can't train hard and stay chubby unless you're eating really badly.
This troupe is trying to win a national championship. That is judged on execution alone. So they have tryouts and they take the best skilled athletes. If someone plus sized is the best skilled athlete for a role they take them, there are plenty of cheerleaders who aren’t a size 0. All these stunts stayed in the air and that’s all judges about.
jd some minor day one flaws in this. I know cheerleading well enough to know if they hit this shit it’s gonna be pretty damn hard to beat. 😂 Any given Sunday so we will see!
Col 44 don’t get me wrong they have a strong routine and if they hit for sure but between them and cheetahs they haven’t been hitting at recent comps we will see at NCA and Worlds
Okay I’ve never cheered and I know nothing about it but I watched one video and now my recommended is flooded with them and honestly I have been watching videos and seriously shedding tears because you can just tell how freaking hard they all work and what their bodies are capable of just blows my mind and I can’t stop.
These girls are amazing!!!! Delivery on point. Their poses flawless. I always wanted to be a cheerleader when I was in high school but didn't try out cus my mom was super strict and didn't think she would approve.
I’m a former cheerleader and literally I can’t stress this enough but like seriously these girls are so amazing like you could tell they were so anxious and they still kept a huge smile and soooooo much attitude like I know how hard that’s it like seriously
WOW! I am 63 and all I can say is cheering has come a long way since I was in high school! Every one of these girls is a top quality athlete!! Honestly they are better athletes than the teams they cheer for !
Sorry my comment is long after ( I refer to the amount of months) but I just watched this today. I think this group and other groups show the most wonderful athletic talent and ability, and the greatest example of teamwork . I would certainly consider this a sport and I will go as far to say I think it should be an Olympic competition. When I was young I would have given anything to be able to do this. I was always overweight plus when I was younger there was not this type of cheerleading. Plus my family would never have been able to afford for me to be a part of training and competing. I grew up in a world of to even be a part of groups like this you had to come from the right type of families. Just the way it was. So I concentrated on school work and became a nurse and did that until after multiple back surgeries I had to finally at the age of 70 give it up. Sorry for rambling. I want to praise each and every one of these marvelous young people and their training and ability. I enjoy watching all the videos of different groups. To me everyone is a star. I did have the ability to do cartwheels and I was right proud of myself. I do have one question and please don’t be critical of my question. I am not trying to be unkind I just am curious. Why is it called cheerleading when you are not actually cheering for a other sporting team? I may be the only person who immediately thinks of gymnastics but I do know they are two different sports. Just curious. I am proud to watch this and I actually find myself “ cheering “ along, so impressed and amazed. I love all the performers. Even the young ladies who are like I was, considered plus size, Good job to all. I also have to ask how many have joint or back problems when they get older?
Wow!! I have to say out of the hundreds of these I have watched they are by far the best I have ever seen. Unbelievably in sync, amazing form, phenomenal jumps. A dream team.
So clean and the technique is beautiful!!! I wish they had a bit more facials though, the sassy vibe is awesome but from far away it's not that noticeable :(
