It is the same as with any of the other athletics. If you hire a basketball coach, they need to be knowledgeable about the rules of basketball as well as how to properly run practice drills, etc. They may or may not have specific credentials and courses that they've taken. On the other hand, completing a course doesn't automatically make someone "qualified". It does give them more information about what needs to be done to minimize risk, but it doesn't guarantee they will follow the rules and other issues outlined in the course. You will need to check with the South Carolina High School League (http://www.schsl.org/) office to see what specific requirements are in place. “Qualified” means someone who has enough knowledge about cheerleading for what they are performing.

What type of training or credentialing must they have in SC to coach? I worry about the cheerleaders at our high school. Someone is always getting injured!

The only restriction on middle schools is no basket tosses. Schools, districts or states can put in more restrictive rules, so double check there to be sure. Not by our rules.
