Intro: STUNT is a new kind of sport built off the athletic side of cheerleading. No pom-poms. No crowd work. Just head-to-head competition based on skill, strength, and precision.

What Makes STUNT Different?

  • It’s all about the technical side of cheer: stunts, pyramids, tumbling, jumps.

  • Two teams perform the same routine at the same time.

  • Judges give points based on who does it better.

This isn’t a sideline activity. It’s a full-blown sport.

How a STUNT Game Works

STUNT has four quarters, each showing off different skills:

  1. Partner Stunts
    Quick, 30-second routines with lifts and holds.

  2. Pyramids & Tosses
    Big, team-based stunts with throws and group lifts.

  3. Jumps & Tumbling
    Fast-paced routines packed with flips and jumps.

  4. Team Routine
    Everything from the first three quarters, all rolled into one.

Safety First

  • Routines are standardized.

  • Skill levels progress step by step.

  • It’s designed to keep athletes safe and reduce injuries.

Where Is STUNT Happening?

  • High Schools across the country are picking it up.

  • Colleges and Universities are joining in too.

  • It’s even recognized as an emerging sport for women by the NCAA.

Why It Matters

STUNT gives female athletes a chance to compete in a real sport with real rules—and get credit for their skills. It’s competitive, challenging, and growing fast.
