As the gym is an extension of the classroom, cheerleaders are an extension of the prep experieince. As long as they follow the simple rules of when they can or cannot be on the floor (full time outs but not 30 second etc.) we need to take it all in perspective. I have had my share of run-ins with cheerleaders and having to work around them on endlines but you just need to handle it as the professionals we are. If there is an alternative area where the cheerleaders can work, we can suggest that but otherwise unless they are really interfering, enjoy being a part of their educational experience. As part of the pre game on court duties I often locate the captain of the squad and talk to them. This get them on our side and does help.
