A Parent's Guide to Cheerleading Safety

Cheerleading safety requires a team approach, and that team includes the cheerleaders, coaches, administration and parents. The American Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Administrators (AACCA) developed this Parent’s Guide to Cheerleading Safety to give parents the tools they need to evaluate the safety of cheer programs.

The cheerleading safety tips included in this guide are to help parents understand the right questions to ask of their children’s cheerleading coaches and school administrators, so that all parties are focused on ensuring that recognized safety standards are being observed.

Together, we can minimize the risk to our cheerleaders and maximize
the benefits of participation in this popular athletic activity..
