Quick answer: we explain what cheer skills are and how they're classified - we never teach how to perform them. Stunts and tumbling should only be learned with qualified coaching.

Our Core Rule

Cheerleading involves genuine physical risk - stunts, pyramids, tosses and tumbling can cause serious injury when attempted without qualified supervision, appropriate equipment and correct progressions. Because of this, this site follows a strict boundary:

  • We explain what a skill is, how it's classified, and where it fits in a routine.
  • We do not explain how to physically perform, teach or practise a skill.

What You Will Not Find Here

  • Step-by-step stunt or tumbling instruction
  • Advice on practising stunts or tumbling without a coach
  • Spotting or catching technique instruction
  • Injury diagnosis or rehabilitation advice

What You Will Find Here

  • Clear definitions of stunts, tumbling skills, jumps and motions
  • How skills are classified by level and division
  • The roles involved in a stunt and how they relate to each other
  • How skills fit into scoring and routine structure

Our Position

Qualified coaching is required for any physical skill progression in cheerleading. Official governing-body rules remain the authoritative source for what is legal at a given level or division - this site is a plain-English companion to that material, not a replacement for it.

If you or your child are starting cheer, the right first step is always a qualified coach at a reputable gym or program.
