Cheerleading, as we know it today, was initiated in 1898 by Johnny Campbell, an undergraduate at the University of Minnesota, who stood before the crowd at a football game and directed them in a famous and still used yell. "Rah, Rah, Rah! Sku-u-mar, Hoo-Rah! Hoo-Rah! Varsity! Varsity! Varsity, Minn-e-So-Tah!"

"Personal Safety in sports is the top priority of every good coach, regardless of the sport or level of competition.
The sport of cheerleading is not an exception. Safety for individual cheerleaders
is an abiding concern for every cheerleading program and every cheerleading company in the country."
Gwen Holtsclaw, President
