Look a little harder, it's in there.
A couple of years ago, I helped out part time at a local rec center. They had a Spirit Rules Book. One boring Saturday afternoon, I thumbed through, in search of this exact rule. The book basically says that cheerleaders should not stand during any live ball situations.
Your state association may also have rules regarding this. The NCHSAA states in the Basketball section of our handbook that "Cheerleaders must remain seated during all live balls, which includes after the free throw shooter is handed the ball. Cheerleaders may not come onto the fl oor during 30-second timeouts."
