In this section I have been researching the history of competitive cheerleading and how the rules of stunting have improved. The history of competitive cheerleading is young. It's only been introduced in the last forty years that cheerleading has expanded into the major competitions that you see today. The first cheerleaders were called "yell leaders" or were part of a "pep squad". The earliest cheerleading competitions began in the late 1960s. The International Cheerleading Foundation, which is now known as the World Cheerleading Association, began ranking the top ten college cheerleading squads as well as handing out "Cheerleader All America" awards around 1968. However, it wasn't until 1978 when CBS televised the Collegiate Cheerleading Championships that America got its first glimpse of cheerleading that went well beyond chanting and cheering on the sidelines. The rules of stunting has improved by, protection for injuries.
