Cheerleading News Sponsored by: Cheerleading DVD's from Sports Nation Video
A second organization has announced plans to create a sport out of competitive cheerleading in an effort to get competitions recognized by the N.C.A.A. A week after USA Gymnastics announced it would oversee meets among the six colleges that have had varsity competitive cheer teams, a competing plan was introduced by USA Cheer.
The governing body said it was teaming with 15 colleges to create the sport of stunt. Events approved by USA Gymnastics will be called team acrobatics and tumbling. Both efforts stem from a recent federal court ruling that found competitive cheerleading was not established enough to meet the federal gender equity requirements of a Title IX sport.
