It takes years of training and dedication to learn the skills and routines of this high-energy activity. However, there are many reasons why joining a cheerleading squad will help you grow as an individual: it&#8217;ll improve your confidence, teach you teamwork skills, and keep you in shape!<\/p>\n<h2>The advantages of cheerleading<\/h2>\n<p>I was never a cheerleader, and I didn&#8217;t know much about the sport. Then, one day, my friend told me that she had joined her college&#8217;s cheerleading squad, and it sounded like fun. The next thing I knew, she invited me to watch her perform at the football games on Saturdays (I&#8217;m not a big sports fan). After watching for a while, I realized how cool this is! There are tons of reasons why you should join your school&#8217;s or local team as well: it will make you more confident, help build your self-esteem, give you an outlet for pent-up frustration, and allow you to meet new friends who share similar interests with yourself. Plus, if you&#8217;re into fitness, then there&#8217;s no better workout.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kmchoreography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/join-a-cheerleading-squad-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"816\" height=\"469\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.kmchoreography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/join-a-cheerleading-squad-2.jpg 816w, http:\/\/www.kmchoreography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/join-a-cheerleading-squad-2-300x172.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.kmchoreography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/join-a-cheerleading-squad-2-770x443.jpg 770w, http:\/\/www.kmchoreography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/join-a-cheerleading-squad-2-254x146.jpg 254w, http:\/\/www.kmchoreography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/join-a-cheerleading-squad-2-50x29.jpg 50w, http:\/\/www.kmchoreography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/join-a-cheerleading-squad-2-130x75.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Top benefits of cheerleading<\/h2>\n<p>Do you ever feel like your life is lacking in some way?
