The New York Times states that cheerleading is the fastest growing girls sport. The Fillmore Central Falcon cheerleader team is growing and anxious to show their commitment this year. They have been working hard on stunts, dances, and tumbling. Cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. They perform lifts and tosses – this is where the “fliers” are thrown in the air, held by “bases” in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates. This requires the athlete to show strength, stamina and balance.
