| Club STUNT refers to teams or programs that participate in STUNT, a competitive sport derived from traditional cheerleading. STUNT focuses specifically on the athletic and technical aspects of cheer—removing the crowd-leading elements—and highlights skills in partner stunts, pyramids, basket tosses, jumps, and tumbling.
Sport Structure: Two teams compete head-to-head performing the same routines, divided into four quarters: partner stunts, pyramids/tosses, jumps/tumbling, and a team routine. |

Skills highlighted: Partner stunts, pyramids, basket tosses, jumps, tumbling.
Athlete development: Allows athletes to specialize and improve their technical skills without the crowd-leading or dance elements found in sideline cheer.
3. College Opportunities
Emerging NCAA Sport: Many colleges are adding STUNT teams as part of Title IX compliance, creating more scholarship and competitive opportunities for female athletes.
Club/Varsity pathways: Athletes can compete at club levels and transition to collegiate programs.
4. Teamwork & Leadership
Importance: Synchronization and precision are key in STUNT routines, teaching athletes strong teamwork, leadership, and communication skills.
