A new co-ed MSU student organization called the Competitive Cheer Club has been created for students with previous cheerleading experience.

Carla Colbeck, president and founding member of the club, said she hopes to recruit between 20 and 25 members for a competitive team that will create dance choreography for statewide competitions.

Excluding money for uniforms, there is no fee.

Colbeck said the club, which will meet for two hours, twice a week, will also be participating in community events.

"This is a really great club that is going to take off and get students interested," Colbeck said.

The first meeting of the MSU Competitive Cheer Club will be at 6 p.m. Sunday in the Wonders Hall Kiva and a follow-up meeting will be held at 9 p.m. Tuesday in the Wonders Hall Kiva.
