NCAA Cheerleading Safety Initiative                                

As you may be aware, the NCAA has partnered with Varsity Brands, the parent company of the largest national cheer organizations, to undertake an important cheerleading risk management initiative with a goal of enhancing safety for college cheerleaders.  As a first step in this initiative, effective August 1, 2006, the NCAA's Catastrophic Injury Insurance Program includes a new requirement in order for an institution's cheerleading program to be included as a covered event under the policy.  

The new requirement states that cheerleading activities must be supervised by a safety-certified coach or advisor.  While there are choices among certifying organizations, the NCAA has partnered with, and recommends the American Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Administrators (AACCA).  AACCA offers certification courses year-round at sites across the country.  Once completed, the safety certification remains in effect for four years.

On this page you will find information to help you meet the new requirement, such as a link to the AACCA website.  We encourage you to check back with us often as we update and expand this important safety initiative.
