On January 11, 2023, USA Cheer announced that the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee formally welcomed USA Cheer to the U.S Olympic and Paralympic family as a USOPC Affiliate Sports Organization.

“Today is a monumental day for cheerleading and it’s nearly 4 million athletes in cheer and STUNT across the United States”

-Cheer Executive Director, Lauri Harris.

There was an in-depth review of applications in which the nominating committee determined that these organization’s make outstanding efforts towards increasing interest and programming opportunities in their respective sports. The USOPC is very excited to support the Olympic and Paralympic movements! 


This is another great and positive step in the cheerleading industry, and I am sure will be a stepping stone to even more advances and partnerships between different committees and organizations. 

Lauri Harris also stated that she is “even more excited to build on today’s announcement as we continue to grow and expand opportunities for youth in cheer and STUNT”

We will see what’s next!
