Three Cheers for Cheerleading Safety Month


Cheerleading Safety Month, initially observed in March, has been moved to August to align with the beginning of the school year and the start of many cheerleading programs. This shift in timing is strategic, aiming to emphasize safety measures at the outset of cheerleading training and routines when athletes return to or start their cheer activities.

The month focuses on educating cheerleaders, coaches, parents, and school officials about the importance of safe cheerleading practices. 

Essential safety measures include:


  • Proper Training: Ensuring cheerleaders receive training from qualified instructors, focusing on fundamental skills before progressing to more advanced techniques.
  • Appropriate Supervision: Coaches and trainers should be present to supervise all practice sessions and performances.
  • Use of Safety Gear: Utilizing mats and other protective equipment during practice, especially when learning new stunts or routines.
  • Adherence to Guidelines: Following established safety and cheerleading protocols, including age-appropriate stunts and maneuvers.
  • Physical Fitness: Maintaining physical conditioning and flexibility to reduce the risk of injuries.
  • Injury Awareness and Response: Recognizing the signs of injuries and planning for prompt and appropriate response.

Cheerleading has grown significantly in popularity in the United States and worldwide. It is recognized not only as a supportive activity at sports events but also as a competitive sport in its own right, featuring complex acrobatic stunts, tumbling, and dance elements. This evolution has increased the athleticism and risk, making safety an even more critical concern.

Cheerleading dates back to the late 19th century in the United States. It began as a male-dominated activity at Princeton University in 1884, with the first organized yell during a football game. Women started participating in cheerleading during World War II and eventually became the majority. Over time, cheerleading evolved from leading cheers at sports games to include more gymnastic and competitive aspects.

Cheerleading Safety Month is crucial in highlighting the importance of safety in this evolving and dynamic sport. It reminds us of the need for continuous education, proper training, and adherence to safety protocols to ensure the well-being of these athletes.
