KC Football and Cheerleading is excited to announce a new program for our middle school and high school age cheerleaders. STUNT is a new competitive team sport, in partnership with USA Cheer. Derived from traditional cheerleading, STUNT removes the crowd-leading aspect and focuses on the technical and athletic components of cheer, which include partner stunts, pyramids, jumps and tumbling skills.

Each STUNT game consists of four quarters of play. The rules and scoring system are focused solely on routine execution and there are only two teams competing at a time. There is one set of rules and one scoring system that is followed at every game. The competition is objective and the head-to-head format is easy to follow for the crowd.

Scoring officials are in place to evaluate and score the execution of predetermined skills and technique used by the team when performing the different elements. Predetermined routines associated with each quarter's technical areas are distributed to STUNT team coaches prior to the season. 

This new format incorporates all the excitement of the typical cheerleading competition, coupled with the coaching strategy of a regular sporting event. The fourth quarter is the "Team Performance," which combines routines from the previous quarters into longer, more challenging performances. 

Anyone who follows sports will be able to follow STUNT. The head-to-head format simplifies the scoring process, while also allowing fans to track the results of the competition as each quarter is completed. Games last approximately 45 minutes to an hour and teams compete simultaneously similar to most other sports.
