Summer - a fantastic time of the year for coaches and athletes to disconnect and get rejuvenated. It's also a great time for athletes & coaches to come together for training as they prepare for their next season. One of the best ways to stay motivated and productive is to step back, step away and reassess. Whatever category you're in, we hope you are enjoying every bit of it! For a more in depth look on what's happening with USA Cheer in the US and around the globe for cheer, safety, the national team and STUNT, check out this article! READ HERE!

Safety & Education

USA Cheer announces the first ever comprehensive safety rules course!   Unlike other rules training that primarily reviews new rules, this 4-part course covers the entire spectrum of the high school cheerleading rules. There are two courses available, with one geared towards coaches and another with additional fifth training section for rules officials.  The course is developed by the USA Cheer rules committee and is designed to be compatible with both the USA Cheer and NFHS safety rules, and should serve as the foundation for rules understanding for any cheerleading coach or choreographer. The course will be updated each year, along with a “new rules” add-on for coaches who have completed the comprehensive training.  For more information, and to complete the USA Cheer Safety Rules Course, click below and select "Responsibilities and General Rules (Part 1)" from the "HS Rules" section.  Rules Certification *Membership renewals opening up next week! New YOUTH/REC memberships along with athlete and coach memberships available! Jim Lord Safety and Education
