14. Because it is a school cheerleading program. We cheer for the school teams. The school's
liability insurance is a blanket policy so it covers us too. That and uniforms are all the school provides. The rest of the finances is up to the cheerleaders' families.

So to say that the school should cover all the other school sport teams but not us would be inherently unfair and possibly in violation of Title IX, which was one of the main reasons our state declared cheer an official school sport rather than a club activity back in the 80s.
