NEW COACH quick tipS:

• Home team supplies small gift/snack for away team cheerleaders.

• When cheering for football cheerleaders should quiet on Offensive snap and loud on Defense

• Organize your cheers in a list Short to Long and Offense or Defense

• Cut holes / rip top and bottom in run through banner to allow it to rip during run through easier.

• If you are performing stunts, you must be stunt certified and you also need to know what is legal and

  not.

• Sportsmanship – when cheering on the same side of the field you should not cheer at the same time as

  the other team. Repeating the cheer, the team just completed next to you comes off as mocking and

  is not good sportsmanship.
