The NFHS Spirit Book is provided to ALL school cheerleader sponsors, administrators, as well as each local officials association. (normally sent to the previous year's president).
The rule, as has been explained to us, is simply that cheerleaders may not stand ON THE FLOOR during a live ball. However, as long as they are in the 2nd row of the bleachers or higher, they may stand during live balls.
They are allowed to come on the floor during full timeouts and in between quarters, but, not during 30 second timeouts.
Ask your local association president (or board member) if they have a copy of the spirit book and have them look up the rule to reinforce your confidence in the rule.
Cheerleaders are not our (officials) responsibility either. They fall under the home game managements responsibility.
