Copper Canyon has the largest coed stunt program in Arizona. Jason Mitchell currently (now in 2016 no longer is coach) coaches the stunt programs. Copper Canyon Coed Varsity placed 2nd at the AIA State Qualifiers, which was their first time competing at state. The team took 4th place at the AIA State Competition, they tied with 3rd, behind 2nd by one point, and four points away from first place. The coed varsity moved on to nationals. In March, the Coed Varsity took 5th place at nationals, earning the title as the #1 nationally ranked coed team in Arizona. Varsity Pom and All-Girl Varsity also qualified for nationals, but did not make the finals. For the 2014–2015 season, teams include Coed Varsity, Coed Junior Varsity, and Varsity Pom. It was announced that All-Girl Varsity will be removed for the next season. The cheer team is no longer the largest coed team.
