According to Plutarch, Spartan women were encouraged to ‘exercise themselves with wrestling, running, throwing the quoit, and casting the dart, to the ende that the fruit they conceived might, in strong and healthy bodies, take firmer root and find better growth,…they, with this greater vigour, might be able to undergo the pains of childbearing’. Women in Sparta married at age 18-20 rather than at puberty as in other city-states. They were responsible for raising children in their early years before male children were surrendered to Agoge training at the age of seven. Mothers transmitted values to their children, encouraging obedience and courage rather than pandering to their fears and affections. Their role as mothers was highly valued as indicated by the marked graves afforded only to women who died in childbirth or warriors who died on the battlefield.

Competitive cheerleading is similar to gymnastics in the aspect of performing in front of a panel of judges. Two of the main things that separate competitive cheerleading from gymnastics is that gymnastics is actually a Title IX sport and the fact that gymnasts compete individually. Competitive cheerleaders typically compete with a group of 15 to 36 others. During one performance, competitive cheerleaders will flip and twist their bodies through the air, catch girls that are airborne and stack bodies on top of each other to build a two-story pyramid. Of course, some may say that competitive cheerleading is not a sport because it does not involve a ball or that it is subjective because routines are judged, and they are right.
Cheerleading Cheerleading is a very popular sport among girls. Some may think that it is not a sport and think that there is nothing to it. However, cheerleading is actually one of the most dangerous sports for girls.
