Editing Cheerleading (section)

====Middle school====
[[Middle school]] cheerleading evolved shortly after high school squads were created and is set at the district level. In middle school, cheerleading squads serve the same purpose, but often follow a modified set of rules from high school squads with possible additional rules.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Lord|first=Jim|title=Junior High Cheer|url=https://www.usacheer.org/junior-high-cheer|access-date=2021-12-14|website=USA Cheer|language=en-US}}</ref> Squads can cheer for basketball teams, football teams, and other sports teams in their school. Squads may also perform at pep rallies and compete against other local schools from the area.  Cheerleading in middle school sometimes can be a two-season activity: fall and winter. However, many middle school cheer squads will go year-round like high school squads. Middle school cheerleaders use the same cheerleading movements as their older counterparts, yet may perform less extreme stunts and tumbling elements, depending on the rules in their area.{{Citation needed|date=December 2020}}.
