The key element of this program is to maximize the safety of all participants. All Associations are required to have a doctor, physician’s assistant, or paramedic present for all games. Each team is also required to have, on staff, at least one person certified in first aid and sports medicine by a Federation authorized training facility (i.e. Red Cross).
In addition, only those approved for each staff and the board of directors is permitted within the designated areas of the game field. All others must remain in the areas designated for spectators. During practice, only those designated as staff or those asked to assist with a drill are to be in the practice area. If you wish to speak to the coach of your child’s cheer squad, do so after practice or as requested by the cheer coach.
