Cheerleading is a growing sport with thousands of participants across Canada, including many youth and competitive athletes in British Columbia. As the sport continues to expand, athletes are pushing the limits of their training and performances with increasingly complex stunts, lifts, and tumbling passes. With this growth, however, comes an increased risk of injury. This raises an important question: when a cheerleader is injured, who bears legal responsibility? Are youth athletes themselves to blame, or can their coaches and the programs they train with be found negligent under British Columbia law?
