Back in the 1950's cheerleading was a popular thing. It was somewhat like a competition, because it was mainly based off popularity. The girls had huge skirts, along with paper-like material that was used for poms until later on. It wasn't til the 1960's that cheerleading become extremely popular & recognized. What really caught peoples' attention was how they cheerleaders were dressed and the types of moves they performed. That's what really drew in the crowd, but that wasn't til the 1970's, at a football game. Everyone thought it was exciting for the girls to cheer for the guys on the football teams, and that;s how it all really started. Then, in 1980, coaches and cheerleaders were trying to throw in difficult, but cool looking stunts and gymnastics skills into their routines. Dangerous, yet entertaining, cheerleading has become a very popular sport.
