Cheerleading is all about energy, spirit, and passion—but behind those dazzling stunts, high jumps, and powerful chants, there’s also a need for safety and care.
That’s why we celebrate Cheerleading Safety Month every March 2025.
This month is dedicated to raising awareness about safe practices in cheerleading, supporting athletes, and reminding everyone that team spirit thrives when safety comes first.
Cheerleading has grown from a sideline tradition into a competitive, high-energy sport with athletes showing incredible strength and discipline.
But with those amazing moves come risks. Cheerleading Safety Month serves as a reminder for coaches, parents, and athletes to take precautions, follow training guidelines, and make safety the real MVP.
Whether you’re a cheerleader, coach, parent, or fan—this month is your chance to celebrate the spirit of cheer while spreading awareness about staying safe. 🎉💪
What is Cheerleading Safety Month?
Cheerleading Safety Month is an annual awareness campaign held in March to highlight the importance of injury prevention, training, and safe practices in cheerleading. Organized by organizations like the American Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Administrators (AACCA) and supported by safety advocates, the month focuses on:
- Educating cheerleaders and coaches about injury prevention
- Encouraging proper warm-ups, spotting, and stunting techniques
- Providing resources for safety certifications
- Promoting a culture where safety comes before performance
It’s not just for athletes—it’s for the whole cheerleading community, from middle school squads to professional teams.
History of Cheerleading Safety Month
Cheerleading dates back to the late 1800s, starting as organized chants at football games. Over the years, it evolved into complex stunts, tumbling, and acrobatics. As the sport grew, so did the risks.
By the 1980s and 1990s, cheerleading became one of the leading sports for female athletic injuries, especially from falls and stunts. This sparked concern from coaches, parents, and medical professionals.
To address this, Cheerleading Safety Month was introduced to educate, standardize, and reduce risks. Today, it stands as a national campaign, helping teams balance the excitement of cheer with the discipline of safe practice.
