PSAL COED VARSITY STUNT
It is with great pleasure that I share with you that the Public School Athletic League (PSAL) has approved A. Philip Randolph Campus High School (APRCHS) to field a COED VARSITY STUNT Team for the first time for the upcoming Spring 2024 Season.
“STUNT, one of the fastest growing female sports in the country, removes the crowd-leading element and focuses on the technical and athletic components of cheer, including partner stunts, pyramids, basket tosses, group jumps and tumbling. These elements are put together in short routines that both teams must perform head-to-head on the floor at the same time. The team that executes the skills best wins the round and the point, and has the opportunity to determine which of routine level will be called next. With four quarters of play – partner stunts, pyramids & tosses, jumps & tumbling, and team routine – STUNT is an exciting sport to play, coach and watch.
USA Cheer created STUNT as an opportunity for colleges, universities and high schools to meet the strict Title IX requirements of a sport. With more than 500,000 high school cheerleaders, STUNT expands participation opportunities for young women by providing an avenue for female athletes to use their cheerleading background in a new format.

APRCHS and the PSAL are proud to offer STUNT as a COED sport for both male and female athletes. Male athletes play an important role in many of the routines and interested male athletes are encouraged to come out to the tryouts! All students should be on the lookout for flyers posted in the hallways and online regarding tryouts for the Spring Season.
APRCHS has supported a Cheerleading Team for many years, and it is the success of this team and their Coach Ms. Amber Fletcher that has generated so much interest in this sport amongst our school community. Please join me in offering our congratulations to Coach Fletcher and the Cheerleading Team for all of the hard work and dedication that has brought them to this opportunity.
Thank you to Mr. Daniel Harris (PSAL Director) and Ms. Sandra Lo (PSAL Senior Deputy Director) for making this opportunity available to our students.
Thank you to Ms. Diedro Loweye (PSAL Sports Coordinator for STUNT) for your support launching this new team.
Thank you to Coach Perlowitz (APRCHS Athletic Director) for everything you do to support all of our PSAL Teams.
The APRCHS STUNT team looks forward to exceeding expectations and to participating in competition with other teams.
