Rules about cheerleaders' actions during play

[Nevadaref]

As others have said the restriction on being along the endline is NOT a NFHS BASKETBALL rule and therefore is not enforced in my area during the season. However, the following appears in the State Tournament packet:

* As per the NFHS Spirit Rules Book, spirit groups shall NOT perform in the free-throw lane extended (through the baseline) during live action. All gyms should have a specific area designated which does not interfere with participants.

* As per the NFHS Basketball Rules Book, spirit groups shall NOT take the court during 30-second timeouts.



The 30-second timeout prohibition is an NFHS rule and should be enforced during all games.

Lastly, since it was also mentioned in this thread this is part of the State packet too:
NO ARTIFICIAL NOISE MAKERS OF ANY KIND (including, but not limited to, thundersticks, airhorns, whistles, sirens, etc.) will be permitted at NIAA games (including regular-season contests). Balloons or other objects that impair spectator vision will also NOT be permitted at the games. Positive signs that recognize your own school and do not impair spectator viewing will be allowed. Schools must remove all signs at the conclusion of the game. Tournament / Game officials will always have the final say.
