So they are a pretty physically active team and not one that just does the chants?
0_Apprentice
yeah they are, they go to competitions all the time. Could you tell me more about cheerleading?
1_Wizard
Yeah, the competitive routines tend to range from one to three minutes and will include various activities like dance and tumbling.  Does your sister have a specialty on the team?

that is really interesting, i noticed she always comes extremely tiered from her workouts
1_Wizard
Yeah, that is not surprising.  The competitions get extremely competitive and the talent level is very high with about 1.5 million participants in the sport.

1_Wizard
Yeah the popularity has really exploded thanks to ESPN airing the national championships then it was further increased by the movie Bring It On.

it is incredible that such a huge tv organization like ESP would promote ir
1_Wizard
It is.  The other cool thing for your sister is she might have opportunity to compete over seas.  The exposure from those things has made it popular all over the globe from China to New Zealand and a bunch of other places.
