My niece recently got into cheerleading. She really seems to enjoy it.

Nice, does she lead cheerlead for a sports team, like football, or does she do it as a sport of its own, for competition?

She does it for her high school football team, but she also entered a summer cheer competition because her coach recommended her.

That's awesome. ESPN has broadcast international cheerleading competitions. It's a serious sport.

Some people don't think it's a sport, but I definitely disagree. She works very hard!

They have to be very athletic to do all those components of tumbling, jumps, dance, and stunt moves!

Yes, they do. More than some other sports, in fact. I'm pretty proud of her and hope she goes far.
