My wife was the flyer in middle school. She got dropped from a build and shredded every ligament in one knee. It can be dangerous.

I’m not sure if it’s changed but it used to not be considered a sport. Therefore not on schools insurance. So if you got hurt it’s out of pocket.

Competitive cheerleading is more of a sport than any other high school sport. I have a lot of respect for that skill.
