NCAA EMERGING SPORTS

 

COLLEGE RUGBY FOR WOMEN

In 2002, Division I Women's Rugby was classified as an National Collegiate Athletic Association emerging sport. 2 years later, in 2004, Division II and Division III were also

included. Currently, the NCAA has 5 women's varsity teams. Of these teams on is DI, one DII and three are DIII. These colleges all offer women's rugby at the varsity level.

In order to reach NCAA Championship status there must be forty schools that sponsor rugby as an NCAA sport across all three divisions.

There are mixed schedules of varsity and club rugby which is very important during the early stages of development as new teams are added. The existence of an NCAA Women’s Rugby Championship in turn, has no effect on the existence of the USA Rugby Collegiate Club National Championship.

Recognizing cheerleading as a sport by Kelsey Synder I am writing my essay based on cheerleading, so many people do not believe that cheering is a sport. I have been a cheerleader since I was nine years old. I started cheering for the county on a Pop Warner team so I learned basic skills and the thrill of a football game and competitions.
