TLI: Court Rules Cheerleading is Not a Sport
08.16.12 |
Although participation requires a great deal of athletic skill and agility, a court ruling has struck down the contention that cheerleading is a ‘sport’ like football or volleyball in public schools. The ruling goes back to a 1972 regulation that schools must offer equal participation in sports teams for boys and girls. While cheerleading has been considered like a sport, because it has varying regulations around the country, no post-season and other considerations, it cannot be considered a sport. Dr. Ralph Kerr of the Teaching & Learning Institute and Cecil discuss the implications for schools, students and their families. More information at www.
