Cheerleading SafetyTips to Make Your Practice Great!

It should be everyone's goal to have a great practice that is productive, fun and safe.  Here are a few things you can do to help make your practice safer:  

• Always do a proper Warm Up Session ( Click on the link below for a full video warm up to use. )
• Make sure everyone stays hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
• Do a warm up stretch as well as a cool down and stretch.   Remember, stretching should not hurt.
• Look at your practice surroundings.  Make sure there are no obstacles that can make someone trip or fall.
• Use the proper equipment including mats.
• Make sure all participants are wearing the proper clothes and sneakers.
