- The AACCA recently added a helpful new "Coach Search" feature to its website. Using Coach Search, anyone can look up a cheer coach to see if that coach has completed the AACCA Cheerleading Safety Course. This lookup tool is beneficial for administrators, parents, potential employers or state associations where the AACCA course is a requirement for coaching. Coaches can also use the tool to print out their course completion certificate and sign up to re-certify. The tool can be found at www.aacca.org/coachsearch.
