Demographics and Purchasing Habits
CHEERSPORT National Cheerleading and Dance Championships Attendee
Profile:
Allstar cheerleading is a team sport combining gymnastics, dance and traditional cheerleading stunts. Many of the participants start
out in gymnastics but move over to competitive cheerleading because it is more forgiving of different body types and does not require
the 25 to 40 hours a week necessary to compete in gymnastics.
Because competitive cheerleading and dance is a very expensive sport most participants come from middle to upper class families with
significant disposable income. The cost of the sport varies widely but a conservative estimate of the average cost per athlete would
be approximately $2000 per year. This does not include family travel expenses.
- 95% of all participants are female; 5% are male
- 90% of competitive teams practice between five and ten hours a week
