Question
Hi im in 8th grade cheerleading been doing it for awile. Well when i fall there has been a few times when ive fallen into somone's knee and got hit inbetween the legs it's hurt bad. Is there any kind of protection for us girls? Like how guys where a protective cup but it's not like us girls are going to wear a cup. What do you think? How do guy cheerleaders protect there balls? They don't wear a cup in cheerleading do they? Is there somekind of pad or something? Thanks Nicole

Answer
No, unfortunatly there isnt. I think the best prevnetion is to talk things over with your coach or with the people who are flying you and tell her that they arnt positioned right. in my almost 8 years of cheerleading, i have never once ran into that problem, so its something your bases need to fix! hope it turns out welll!
