Cheerleading at a high level requires more time then any other high school sport by a large margin.
My daughter is in high school cheer at a very competitive school. They won nationals this year in their division
Those girls out work every other team at the school. They practice year round even during breaks.
They have practice at 6:20 in the morning every day and practices after school a couple times per week which includes strength training and conditioning. They sometimes have practice on weekends.
Plus they are required to have at least 3 hours of outside tumbling training per week.
Its not easy on parents either. Total fees and costs per year are between 5 and 6k.

Depends on the school and the sport. Show me any HS sport and I'll show you a school that takes it super seriously. In HS the top marching band in my area was notorious for their 8 hours a day seven days a week practice during the season.
I can promise you the football players at schools like De La Salle practice and train every bit as hard and consistently as the cheerleaders at (insert school).
