my high school cheerleading squad has competed in nationals ever since i can remember, but last year our budget got cut so we didn't have a competition team because our school couldn't afford to pay a coaches salary. This year they are thinking about cutting the cheerleading squad altogether. This is rediculous because what is a high school without cheerleaders? Another thing is that I have someone willing to volunteer to coach us so that we will have a team and will be able to compete, do you think that if we have a volunteer coach, we should be able to still have a team? Do you think i should go to some of the board meeting and bring this up? Please if you have any suggestions or comments about what i, as a current captain and a senior for next year, should do? thank you for your time.

i think with a volunteer coach you could still go to nationals if you knew what you were doing, which im guessing you do. Im pretty sure there is no national rule that says you have to be a certified coach.
I would take it up at a board meeting and use lots of good facts when you take it up. Tell them how rewarding of a sport it is, how much expierence you have, what fitness benifits and other benifits it has, and how fun it is!
you are right, they shouldnt drop the cheer squad. Make sure to mention that you can get scholarships for cheering and how much cheerleading means to the girls on the squad!!!
hope i helped

You have to get the coach approved by the school so they can check the person out to make sure the coach isn't some weirdo or something, and for money stuff you can do like fundraising.

Why not meet with the girls after school and practise on your own?
Why do you need a structures environment?
Did you know that you can achieve the same joy without a coach?
Use your mind...and you'll see...you have all you need to excel and have a blast.
