Question
I've read all the previous posts about how to begin a squad. I think that I've written down the basics. I know that I need insurance,but my question for you is who or what company do I go to for insurance?

Answer
Hi Melissa,

   Find an insurance company in your area that covers you. You can call various companies and ask. Certainly get some different quotes from different companies so you can compare. You can use a search engine to help look as well. You are looking for cheerleading insurance that will cover you, your athletes, and anywhere you practice.
Happy Cheering!
