Spotter Liability Form


Harrison Cheerleading policy is to not provide spotters for their cheerleading competitions. We believe that assigned spotters would not be familiar with routines and participants’ techniques, causing a possible safety issue. Harrison Cheerleading does allow each organization to decide if they wish to provide their own spotters at our competition.

Spotter Requirements:

Spotters must be employed and insured by the organization or school. Spotters must be qualified and trained by their organization or school & must be familiar with the team routine.

Spotters must complete release form/medical waiver & show proof of medical insurance. (Please attach waiver).

Spotters may not wear body jewelry or spacers during spotting.

Routine spotters are there to help ‘catch’ falls and/or mistakes, not to assist or save skills. Routine spotters may only be used for stunts, pyramids and/or basket tosses. Spotting of tumbling is prohibited and will result in a .5 deduction for each occurrence.

Flagrant contact by a routine spotter that assists a stunt, toss or pyramid may result in a .5 deduction for each occurrence. Point deduction is at the sole discretion of the judges. The decision of the judges is FINAL.

Routine spotters must dress differently than the team so they are not mistaken for participants.

Routine spotters are for safety purposes only and are not to engage in excessive behavior before, during or after the performance, doing this will result in a .5 deduction.

Routine spotters should enter the stage behind their team and exit immediately ahead of their team.

We encourage the use of routine spotters; however, they are not required. Use your best judgment as to whether routine spotters are needed for your routine and be sure you are in compliance with your spotter liability form.

Routine spotters should look presentable. Remember, the overall appearance of your team and their performance is important.

Routine spotters should appear “neat and orderly” in order to minimize distraction.

Spotters must be at least 18 years of age.

Routine spotters should make every attempt to be ‘inconspicuous’ during the routine. Remember, touching the skill WILL result in a point deduction. It is best to be present for safety reasons, but, unless there is a fall, not do anything that will appear to help or assist with the stunt.

Routine spotters should be trained to know proper spotting technique. Routine spotters should know the routine(s), so that spotting is conducted as safely as possible.

____I have chosen NOT to have any spotters for my team. By checking here I assume all responsibility for the safety of all team members participating in the routine.

____I am choosing to have spotters for my teams and understand that they are not to assist in the performance in any manner. Any interference with the routine will result in a penalty per occurrence.

Signing below means that you fully understand the “Spotter Liability Form” and that you are complying with all statements above.
