MHSA member schools’ spirit squads are allowed to perform stunts ONLY if the spirit coach and dance/drill coach has completed and is current with the NFHS Cheer and Dance Safety Certification Course as linked below.
This Spirit Safety Certification course, brought to you by the NFHS and USA Cheer (formerly AACCA), provides information and strategies to help you evaluate your current safety program, with the goal of minimizing the risks involved in cheer and in dance teams that participate in tumbling and building stunts and pyramids. The course presents important considerations regarding medical and legal responsibilities, performer readiness, and proper tumbling, stunt, and pyramid skill progressions.
