STUNT the sport
The Game. The Skills. The Competition.
STUNT is a fast-paced, head-to-head team sport that takes the athletic skills of cheerleading and turns them into a game.
Instead of performing one routine against a large group of teams, two teams compete directly against each other. Athletes perform the same skills and routines at the same time, and the team with the best execution earns the point.
STUNT focuses on the athletic and technical elements of cheer—including partner stunts, pyramids, tosses, jumps, and tumbling—while removing the traditional crowd-leading component.
How Does STUNT Work?
A STUNT game is divided into four quarters of play, with each quarter focusing on a different set of skills.
- PARTNER STUNTS: Athletes work together to perform partner stunts with strength, balance, body control, and precision.
- PYRAMIDS & TOSSES: Teams work together to perform pyramids and tosses, focusing on timing, teamwork, trust, and technique.
- JUMPS & TUMBLING: Athletes showcase their athleticism through jumps and tumbling skills.
- TEAM ROUTINE: Everything comes together in the final quarter as the team performs a routine that combines skills, timing, teamwork, and performance.
Every point matters. Teams compete head-to-head throughout the game, creating a fast-paced environment where athletes have to rely on one another and execute under pressure.
STUNT Is For All Athletes
STUNT isn’t just for athletes who have been doing cheerleading for years.
We welcome athletes of all backgrounds and experience levels—whether you’re new to STUNT or coming from another athletic background and looking to elevate your performance.
Some athletes may naturally excel at stunting. Others may be strong tumblers, jumpers, or powerful athletes. STUNT gives athletes the opportunity to discover their strengths, develop new skills, and become an important part of a team.
No prior STUNT experience is required.
Our coaches will teach athletes the skills, techniques, and teamwork needed to learn and compete in the sport.
Why STUNT?
STUNT is more than another way to compete. It is part of the future of women’s sports.
The sport continues to grow at the high school and collegiate levels, creating new opportunities for athletes who want to continue competing beyond traditional cheerleading.
STUNT helps athletes develop:
- Strength and athleticism
- Stunting and tumbling skills
- Confidence and mental toughness
- Communication and teamwork
- Competitive experience
- The ability to perform under pressure
- Skills that can prepare them for future high school and collegiate opportunities
And because the sport is continuing to develop, today’s athletes have the opportunity to grow with it.
