The Mount Marty College Board of Trustees approved the motion to add three new varsity sports — Varsity Shotgun Sports, Varsity Cheer, and Varsity Dance — to the College’s list of intercollegiate athletic offerings.

MMC Athletic Director Chris Kassin says the addition of cheerleaders and a dance squad will provide an excellent competitive outlet for talented students while it helps build and maintain the momentum happening in the rest of the athletic department.

The Shotgun Sports team is actively recruiting team members now and will begin competing during the 2018-2019 season. The cheer and dance teams will make their Lancer debut in the fall of 2019. Scholarships will be available for athletes in all three programs.
