ORGANIZATION IS KEY |
|
|
|
"Cheerleaders not only work on physical skills but leadership jobs and duties. Because of these many responsibilities, organization is vital to a successful cheer program. As their coach, you must plan for the season, not just the daily practices. Well-defined goals and timelines will make you and your team succeed.
-
Write a list of activities and tasks for each month.
-
Make an outline of what is needed for each of those tasks.
-
Create calendars of all events, games, and practices.
-
Distribute copies of calendars and lists of jobs to every cheerleader.
-
Require each cheerleader to have a notebook to keep all handouts. Instruct them to bring that notebook to all practices.
-
Be prepared each day of practice with a detailed plan of the day or practice schedule. At the end of practice, have every cheerleader sign the back of this plan. This signed document provides you with a written confirmation of when you taught skills and who was there. Remember by being organized, you are teaching this needed skill to your cheerleaders. . ."

SAFETY IS OUR PRIMARY CONCERN IN CHEERLEADING
|
|
| |
|
Do you have a first aid kit? Or do you rely on the managers or trainers at the football/basketball games to have what you need? What about at practices? Is there an emergency kit near by? If you practice in the cafeteria versus the gym, how close is that kit? What about when you are driving to that away game? If you use the supplies from the First Aid Room, do you know what is available and where these items are? Do you know the closest place for ice? These are questions that all coaches and athletes need to know. Many times other sports teams have trainers with them at all times but cheerleaders have no one to turn to except the coach. Be prepared and know where these items are or carry them with you! |
