It’s been debated for years if cheerleading counts as a sport or not, but Ashley Tisdale says that it definitely should! The former High School Musical star plays a college cheerleader in her new series Hellcats and also grew up cheerleading.

“To anyone who thinks cheerleading isn’t a sport, I can definitely tell you that it is,” says Ash. As for her own experience with cheerleading, Ashley says, “I was really shy when I was younger and cheerleading helped me come out of my shell.” She adds that Hellcats is “dramatic with some great cheers and really good energy. I have a really good feeling about it.”

We couldn’t agree more!

    Cheerleading is extremely hard. Ive been doing it for over 5 years no. Ive gotten 2 concussions, multiple sprained wrists and ankles, and my friend broke her arm before. It incorperates dance, gymnastics and stunts that are unbelievebly hard. Soo im sick of people saying its not a sport cause it definitly is1
