One of the most, if not the most, significant features of basketball cheer has been banned by the Georgia High School Association. The cheerleaders are no longer allowed to stomp in stands in order to get the crowd involved.
The main purpose of a cheerleader is to encourage the players and lead the fans in supporting the team. In basketball, stomping in the stands is the way this is done. It brings life to the game. Both the team and the fans look forward to the energy the cheerleaders bring. They expect it. Taking away this expression of team encouragement would interfere with the overall spirit of the basketball games.
According to the Georgia High School Association 2016-2017 Constitution, in Athletics and Activities, Section 3, Item G (page 62), there is to be "no “stomping” of any kind in the stands or seating area of the gymnasium. Stomping is restricted to the floor of the gymnasium." http://www.ghsa.net/sites/default/files/documents/...
Please help us in changing this clause.

I Am A Basketball Player I Need To Hear Them Stomp In The Stands It Help Me Push Through When I Feel Like Giving Up!!
It should not be against the Ga law because if its dangerous to stomp in the stands and our cheerleaders have to stand on the court it all makes sense that it is more dangerous on the court than in the stands because they have more of a chance of getting hit with a basketball or the players Than falling in the stands!!!
Stomping is one of the best parts about basketball cheer , it is what seperates football cheer from basketball cheer . Taking that away is just as bad as taking the whole program away .
I feel that it is not right that cheerleaders can not stomp in the stands. At Atco High it helps our players and it gets out crowd involved & everyone loves our cheers that deals with stomps.
If you're gonna yell at a bunch of a teenage girls because they made a little noise with their feet, you might wanna rethink your priorities and address the boys who carry those cacophpnous cowbells to games.
This is ridiculous! What next silent cheering or no cheering at all?!
Let the stomping continue
