time and at the discretion of the Principal of the competitive spirit squad’s member school. There is no maximum

number of Inter-School Practices, Scrimmages, and/or Contests in which a competitive spirit squad may

Governance: PIAA Board of Directors has adopted the NFHS Spirit rules book. PIAA in conjunction with Universal

Cheerleaders Association (UCA) and American Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Administrators (AACCA)

will develop the format for the PIAA Competitive Spirit Championships. UCA is the founding member of the

American Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Administrators, a non-profit educational association for the

over 70,000 cheerleading coaches across the United States. Founded in 1988, AACCA is the recognized standard of

care for all cheerleading activities. UCA is dedicated to the safe and responsible practice of cheerleading, and all

UCA Instructors are AACCA Safety Certified and use the AACCA Safety Manual as a teaching guide and resource.

UCA also implements the AACCA safety guidelines at camps and competitions and encourages all coaches to

become AACCA Safety-Certified. AACCA certification is available in all 50 states by taking the accredited 4 hour

course and, upon completion, remains in effect for 4 years. Over 20,000 coaches have been AACCA certified since

2000. On the high school level, AACCA certification is already a requirement to complete the Bronze Level NFHS

Spirit Coaches Education Program.

Committees will not consider any protests in Contests, which are based on play situations or officials’ decisions
