    Cool Hand Luke would argue that dance team girls washing cars is worth a trophy.

    Yes, the next fraud pseudo-sport through the door kicked open by "competitive cheerleading."

    Many schools have:

    1. Competitive cheer teams (who do not actually cheer during any varsity contests of any other varsity teams, but only perform semi-gymnastics routines on the sideline). This is actually sanctioned as a varsity sport by the state high school association.

    2. "Sideline cheer" teams (which do actually cheer for other varsity teams, but also engage in competitions and want those reported too)

    3. Dance teams (which perform musical dance numbers, sometimes at varsity sports contests, and want their competititons reported too). Usually wear outfits much tighter than the cheerleading uniforms and are apparently selected in large part on physical attributes.


    In the meantime, high school gymnastics, which is in fact a fully legitimate established sport, has pretty much competely dwindled away.
     
  3. My school does not even have cheerleaders (expect for football) dance team covers the rest. It is 15 people who cant dance a lick and 5 who can some what dance
