Unless your state or locale has a standard, then it's strictly a safety issue. I simply remind the cheerleaders that if there's a collision, I'm not going to be the one who gets hurt (most likely).
If the cheer coach is talking to you, remind her of that fact, and of the fact that we run full speed sometimes with our heads turned the other direction.
And, as JR alludes, to, as far as we're concerned, the cheerleaders are fans.
