Cheerleading seems to still be popular among kids?

I am not sure. It seems so in the movies. As it was originated in America it seems that it still predominantly there. Still involves around 1.5 million participants.

Thats a lot of people, I guess I would have thought more though.

I think it's a fair number as they are mostly to motivate sports teams and entertain the audience. I assume there are so many teams to cheer for!

That is true, so it appears there will always be cheerleading no matter what.
1_Wizard
Probably so because there are organisations to train and host cheerleader competitions. The main one is Varsity Spirit Corp.

So there is legit training for this now?

Yes! The origins of Varsity Spirit date back to 1948!
