As the proud father of a girl whose team Katy Elite just won the national cheer championship on Orlando, I can tell you that this is a very compteitive sport. Girls practice several hours each week not counting private lessons. Skills are learned both individually and as a team.

There are positions, skills sets, gymnastics, and dance. Participants learn the "team" concempt which to me is what defines a sport.

Just because you don't understand a sport doesn't mean it isn't one. I don't understand scoreless soccer, but most parents would call this a sport.

I am not talking the pixies that attend other sporting events. I am talking about teams that compete to raise their level of skills matched against others.
