NCSM Reminder: Use spotters and matting effectively throughout the season to reduce risk of injuries!     Even when following the rules and using skill progressions, falls can and do occur, especially when learning new skills. While they should never be put in place of skill progressions, using spotters and mats can be an effective tool in preventing a fall from becoming an injury, especially a serious one. Spotters should be actively trained in progression just like skills, demonstrating proficiency at spotting lower-level skills before moving to more advanced skills.    EZ Flex is the official mat partner for USA Cheer and STUNT, made to guarantee durable, long-lasting protection for your athletes.
