March is National Cheerleading Safety Month. It is an opportunity each year to spread the word about cheerleading safety and an opportunity for us to put a spotlight on the core responsibilities of keeping athletes safe.

USA Cheer will utilize media and social channels to highlight a different theme each week of March to reinforce these priorities of athlete protection, skill safety & injury prevention, bullying & hazing prevention, and overall program safety.

At the end of the month, we will challenge everyone to take the icheersafe pledge, pledging to do their part for overall athlete safety.

We begin Monday, March 1, with a continued focus on athlete protection and education programs related to sexual abuse and other misconduct in youth sport.
