Texas is often associated with cheerleading. There was a mother in Texas who tried to hire a hit man to kill a rival cheerleader, so her daughter could be on the squad.
In the United States, around 80 percent of all schools have a cheer squad.

Dropping the spirit stick will bring you bad luck. This idea got started at a cheer camp somewhere and was popularized with the movie Bring It On. It is just a stick and while it is fun to talk about passing the spirit stick, accidentally dropping it won't do anything to you except make you bend over to pick it up.

The size of your feet affects your cheerleading. In the past, some have said that the smaller your feet, the better you can cheer. There is no scientific basis to this theory. Cheerleaders wear all different sizes of shoes.

Cheerleaders have to be skinny. This simply isn't true. Since the base of a pyramid needs to have a solid muscle structure and the flyer needs to be light, cheerleaders come in all shapes and sizes. With that said, cheerleaders do need to be in good physical condition.
