I have been given a unique opportunity to basically start a college cheer program from scratch. I have been reading extensively about the differences between NCATA and STUNT, and I need to lay out a budget proposal this week when I meet with the administration. At this point, I think STUNT is going to be the best fit for the school, and I also think it would cost less to run a STUNT program vs an NCATA program. Can anyone shed a light on this for me? If you have a sample budget that you would be willing to share via email, that would be AWESOME
I am drawing up a 3 year budget for them, starting with year 1 just being a traditional cheer team that supports athletic events and attends small local comps. That budget will be a piece of cake. But, I'm having trouble deciding what direction I want to go in after that-
1. "competitive cheer" which would be cheering at games and taking the Cheersport and NCA route, which I already have a budget for because I started a D2 program with it back in 2004.
2. Two teams- a STUNT team and a spirit team. STUNT team competes regionally, at Cheersport, and at NCA also.
3. Two teams- an NCATA team and a spirit team. NCATA would require a lot of traveling for meets, which would cost money.
So, any coaches out there want to weigh in on this?
