Member Alert – Cheerleading

USA Cheer has given safety rules. A safe program has direct adult supervision, correct conditioning, skills training, and warm-up exercises. Coaches should be trained in risk management, as well as basic first aid and CPR/AED training. Concussion protocols should always be followed. Athletes, coaches, and parents should be trained in athlete protection. This includes understanding, preventing, recognizing, and reporting abuse such as bullying, hazing, physical and emotional misconduct, and sexual abuse.
