A cheerleading certificate template gives a squad a ready layout for the awards that close a season: most improved, best spirit, team captain, rookie of the year. Coaches, school athletic departments, youth leagues and all-star gyms hand them out at banquets, at the last home game or after a competition.
A good cheer award names the athlete, says what they did in plain words, and carries the season, the squad and a coach's signature. The designs here come as certificates, on A4 and US Letter, and as badges, so an athlete can hang one on the wall and share the same award online with a link that anyone can verify.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Common ones are most improved, best spirit, team player, rookie of the year, captain and coach's award. Some squads also add skill awards for stunting, tumbling or jumps.
The athlete's name, the award, the season and squad, a line about what they did, the date and a coach's signature. A short list of strengths, such as stunting or game day leadership, makes it feel personal.
Usually the head coach, often with the athletic director or the club owner. Two signatures make a banquet award feel more official.
Most squads give them at the end-of-season banquet. Some also give a spirit award after a big competition or at senior night, so athletes get it while the moment is fresh.

They are standard cheer arm motions: Hips, Low V, T, Diagonal, L, Punch, Touchdown and High V. Coaches teach and call routines in counts of eight, so the page follows the same count.
