Varsity Spirit Corporation
 PROFILE
Don't tell the cheerleaders, but they used to get their gear from the same place the football team did. Varsity Spirit, a subsidiary of former helmet maker Riddell Sports (which sold its Riddell Group Division in June 2001), designs and markets cheerleader and dance team uniforms and accessories for youth, high school, and college programs. Varsity Spirit promotes its products by organizing cheerleading and dance team camps that draw over 230,000 participants each year. It also sponsors contests that are televised on national TV. Company Dance, a joint venture formed with singer and dancer Paula Abdul, conducts dance competitions. Parent Riddell is changing its name to reflect Varsity Spirit's operations.
