Well, idk what year cheerleading was first started. Cheer isn't played and we're not players. We're called cheerleaders.
Most people do not know that cheerleading began as a boys only sport when it was first organized. then girls started joining gradually, and it became what it is today.
Around 1996 All Star Cheerleading made it's debut & gyms started popping up everywhere. That's when Cheer started adding in all the extreme stunting and tumbling. That is kind of when Cheerleading went from just "Cheering on the athletes" to becoming a sport that actually takes skill and hard work.
yes, johnny campell "invented" for lack of a better word, cheerleading. He was at a football game, when he started saying chants and got more and more people doing it. That became known as cheerleading and has formed into cheerleading today. :]
