ok so I keep seeing threads about the boy getting his team disqualified so I thought i'd clear some things up as I'm from michigan and have done high school cheer.
In michigan school cheer become a recognized sport by the MHSAA about 5 years ago. When they did this they completely changed competitive cheer. Boys were no longer allowed, no music is allowed, and it is split in to 3 rounds (middle school has 2 rounds). There are no divisions its just JV and Varsity. Sometimes they split it up by class (1-4) but this rarely happens besides at states. Teams are also not allowed to compete at any all star events and if you cheer all star you can not compete with your high school for 2 seasons. heres an example of what high school cheer is like (this is the state runner up by .04 points and my high school )
round 1 (this round is jumps)
round 2 (this round requires a mandatory 8 count of motions that every school performs along with jumps, flexibility skills, and 2 standing tumbling skills)
round 3 (stunting round)
