Cheerleaders are breathtakingly performing and dancing on the field and we never bother to get to know them. No one knows as to what really goes behind the scenes of a soccer cheerleader. Whenever soccer players are honored, these cheerleaders are also honored with gifts because they are part of the team. True, you do not expect them to play soccer but see how they bring success to the team and the game as well. They bring in the crowds, and blow away the tensions of the players by cheering them. Yes, the fans too loose their tension seeing these splendid performers in their glittering attire.

It is not easy at all to become a soccer cheerleader. Auditions are tough to say the least and thousands of girls get eliminated. Cheerleaders have to look good, must be energetic, and have a pleasing great personality as well. After being inducted into the squad, it takes hours of practice almost every day to get the soccer dancing routines well. Sometimes they have to dance in the freezing cold as well as in very hot climates all the time smiling. Besides they do not get paid much, only $20 or so per game. Some times even this is not paid when they have to show up at overseas performances for US troops, photo shoots and guest appearances.

Soccer cheerleaders are indeed beauties with brains. Cheerleaders have to be mature and clever so that they can answer the complicated questions of the media. Do remember, that they are an important aspect of the team's public image.

Certainly, soccer cheerleaders deserve a better reputation. In general, the soccer cheerleaders are good girls who do their best to perform. We must show our appreciation for these great performers. Cheerleaders contribute to the community in various charity events also and collect money for noble causes. It is time that we know them and support them. Their service to the game must not go unnoticed.

Soccer cheerleaders entered the game in the 1960s. To maintain and promote the image of Dallas Cowboys in the minds of the public, the team manager came up with a brilliant idea to bring on ladies as cheerleaders. Intricate dance routines and beautiful looks made the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders create history and the world turned and took notice of them.

Soccer cheerleaders were not just dancers on the field but also showed up off the field to boost the public image of the soccer teams. Be sure, these smiling dancing girls are actually contributors to the community as well as stylish entertainers in the field of sports.

Without them soccer game would loose its vivacity that it is known for. Soccer cheerleaders today have earned a firm place in the game and they are part of the team. They have separate audience for themselves. Let us not think of them as dumb girls after fame and money. They are in it to decide their career and by the way they promote so many social causes too.
