What does "competitive cheerleading" mean?

Cheerleading that is not on the sidelines cheering on a sports team, but it's own independent sport. Competitions are held to judge teams on things such as their tumbling (gymnastics) and stunting abilities. Much training and a higher skill level is imperative to succeed at competitive cheerleading.

Most competitive cheerleaders are allstar cheerleaders, which are cheerleaders not associated with a school.

The movie Bring it On is about two competitive high school teams.
