Cheerleading was originally called cheerleading. Cheer partly means to cheer up the spirit and boost morale. Cheerleading originated from the rituals of early tribal society. In order to encourage soldiers who go out to fight or hunt, they usually hold a ceremony at which people cheer and dance to encourage soldiers and hope to return home in triumph. Cheerleading is a new sport, which originated in the United States, and is widely used in NBA, rugby, baseball, swimming, track and field, wrestling and other competitions in the United States. It has a history of over 65,438+000 years. At first, cheering for American football developed, and now it has become a worldwide sport.
