I've done it and will do it again. If they're in my way, they move. They're just 1 step above the other spectators. They're not necessary to the game and shouldn't be in a position to potentially interfere with or cause injury those that are. The cheer coach will not like it, but they don't have a say.
As Snaq said, you're protecting them as much as yourself. Most of us are 2x the size of some of them. If they are close to the endline but not really "too close", I make a few passes really close early in the game to get their attention and they usually stay out of the way after nearly getting run over (they were not really about to be run over...they don't know I was just firing a warning shot).
