USA Cheer provides training and certification of STUNT officials. STUNT officials are independent contractors who work with each local STUNT association, state high school association, league, or hosting school independently of USA Cheer. As such, USA Cheer does not offer any insurance with membership. STUNT officials are responsible for obtaining any desired insurance policies related to their participation as an official, such as accident/catastrophic coverage. We recommend obtaining membership with the National Association of Sports Officials at https://www.naso.org. When asked for you sport, enter “STUNT” in the “Other” box.  USA Cheer does not require that you obtain coverage in order to participate as a STUNT official. Check with your local jurisdictions to determine if they have more specific requirements or recommendations.

Membership for those who are a STUNT Coach and a STUNT Official.  Note that in order to access the material for your team, you will need to complete both the coach AND the officials' training. If you only want to complete the coach training at this time, you can upgrade at a later date to complete the officials' training.
