News about USA Cheer & The Olympics
USA Cheer has just been accepted by the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee as one of its new āaffiliate sports organizationsā (AOC).
So, what does this mean?
First of all - it does not mean cheerleading will be in the Olympics. At least not yetā¦
However, itās a step forward for USA Cheer, which is trying to establish itself as the āgoverning body for sport cheering in the United States.ā
About the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (from their official website):
āThe USOPC is focused on protecting, supporting and empowering Americaās athletes, and is responsible for fielding U.S. teams for the Olympic, Paralympic, Youth Olympic, Pan American and Parapan American Games, and serving as the steward of the Olympic and Paralympic movements in the U.S.ā
About the āaffiliate sports organizationsā (AOCs) that USA Cheer is now part of:
āThe AOCās mission is to support the Olympic and Paralympic movements by increasing interest in national programming for sports participation through partnerships and collaboration. Its members promote cooperation and communication between the AOC and the Olympic and Paralympic communities by sharing best practices, strategies, and information to continuously improve the quality of their services and operations.ā
