Opportunity Statistics

Gymnastics and cheer has grown in popularity among women, almost 25%, since 2000 [1].

 

NCATA is providing athletic opportunities to the fastest growing ʻskill setʼ in America.

 

Student-Athletes are recruited from:

  • 40% – competed in acrobatics, gymnastics or similar sports

  • 60% – competed in competitive cheer

  • 100% – are totally dedicated athletes in a new sport

With acrobatics & tumbling becoming a sport, women will have a greater chance to compete or participate in a varsity sport at their respective institutions [2]
