Cheerleading Safety Tips:
- Perfection before progressions!!! Make sure ALL of your stunt group members are READY to try a new stunt before you attempt it.
- Use HANDS ON SPOTTING for all stunts to help minimize falls and injuries.
- Look at the area where you are stunting and make sure you have plenty of room and proper safety mats. Also, if you are outside, check to see if there are any rocks, sticks or uneven ground that my through your group off.
- Only stunt when every member of your team has the proper attire on! That means everyone must have athletic shoes and proper clothing with no jewelry, and hair pulled back. Please note, do not wear shorts with pockets as they can catch your flyer’s feet on the way down and make them fall.
