response: I'm uncertain about that but the organization dates back to 1948.
original_response: Yes! The origins of Varsity Spirit date back to 1948!
history: Cheerleading seems to still be popular among kids? I am not sure but its predominately in the U.S. and has around 1.5 million participants for all-star cheerleading. Thats a lot of people, I guess I would have thought more though. Well, cheerleading has a number of functions too, like motivating sport teams, competition or entertaining the crowd. That is true, so it appears there will always be cheerleading no matter what. I don't know about that but there is an organization called Varsity Spirit Corp. They sell cheerleading apparel, trains dancers and cheerleaders at camps, and host competitions. So there is legit training for this now?
knowledge: It has origins which trace back to 1948.
