Cheerleading Week is all about celebrating the accomplishments of cheerleaders, learn about the aspects of cheerleading and help those interested to understand the benefits of cheerleading as a sport. Cheerleading Week was founded in 2005 by Linda Lundy, a former coach, choreographer, and judge who was well-respected in the cheerleading sports industry.
A former chairperson for the US Aerobic Association in Texas and a current member of the US All Star Federation, she turned her experience in helping people achieve their dreams to cheerlead into a holiday that people can celebrate and learn more about famous cheerleading athletes.
Cheerleading can be a positive experience for many who take part in it. It can boost confidence, greatly benefit health, and improve socialization. However, for those who don’t know much about cheerleading, many would think it’s just jumping, waving of pom poms, and yelling along the sidelines. For those who do know, however, it can be a lot of work, take a lot of practice, and can be competitive on an international level.
Cheerleading can be an amazing part of people’s lives and as such, the goal of Cheerleading Week is to learn about cheerleading by engaging in group activities, community service, and fundraising projects.
