Competitive Cheerleading (Acrobatics & Tumbling)

Competitive cheer

History

Competitive cheer was established as a varsity sport by the University of Maryland's Athletic Director, Deborah Yow in 2003[1]. The University of Maryland was the first Division 1 institution to recognize competitive cheer as a varsity sport [2]. Controversy as to whether competitive cheer should meet the requirements of Title IX, existed at the time (and continues to exist in 2013 [3] [4]) [5]. The National Collegiate Athletic Association did not, and does not recognize competitive cheer as a sport [3].
