Telure Standard 2026.1
The Telure Standard for a cheer program
A versioned, Telure-curated program of checks for a cheer program, written in Telure’s own words and organized by how the facility actually runs: the daily rhythm first, then the recurring program above it. It is a documented reference the facility measures its own work against and records reasons against, not a certification. The basis register below shows what informs it, and at what depth.
USASF-informed alignment tracker
Inside Telure, this list is an alignment tracker a facility turns on with a checkbox. The recurring program below is its clause list, informed by USASF Cheer Rules. The facility matches its own tasks, checklist items and training items to the clauses they cover, marks the clauses that do not apply with a written reason, and its exports state what share of the rest has a check behind it.
This tracker is Telure's own clause list, informed by the organization's published document. It does not replace reading that document yourself and verifying your facility against it, and marking a clause here is a note on your own record, not a statement by that organization. Where equipment is involved, the manufacturer's documentation governs.
The daily rhythm
Opening walk
Walked before the doors open, item by item, each answer attributed to the person who gave it. The starting set for a cheer program:
- Spring floor panels flush: no dead spots, raised edges, or exposed seams
- Carpet-bond and velcro seams engaged: no gaps between panels
- Landing and run-out mats placed per the setup diagram, edges flush
- Tumble track surface even: no soft spots, tears, or lifted seams
- Foam pit at or above the fill line
- Pit edge pads seated and secure: no gaps at the lip
- Walkways and coaching lanes clear of loose equipment
- Floor rules and supervision signage posted
- First aid kit stocked; emergency contacts posted
- Coach roster board matches coaches on the floor
During hours
Anything flagged during the day opens a corrective entry on the spot: the item, the finding, and who saw it. Taking equipment or an area out of service is a recorded event with a name attached, and so is returning it. Nothing waits for the end of the shift to become a record.
Closing check
The end-of-day counterpart every facility runs: securing the space and making sure nothing the day surfaced dies overnight.
- Activity areas clear: no members left inside
- Hazards cleared from floors and landing surfaces
- Equipment secured, stowed, or powered down per procedure
- Today's flagged items have maintenance entries opened
- First aid and rescue equipment restocked if used today
- Exits clear; doors, gates and access points secured
The recurring program
The work above the daily walk. Each task surfaces on the day it is due and escalates as it goes overdue. Where a check addresses a published designation, the citation chip names it; a chip is a reference, never a compliance claim.
Weekly
Spring floor panel & seam walk
Walk the full floor panel by panel: dead spots, raised edges, carpet-bond separation, velcro engagement at every seam. Flag any panel that sounds or feels different underfoot. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Mat placement & velcro-gap inspection
Confirm every landing and run-out mat sits where the setup diagram puts it: edges flush, velcro engaged, no gap a foot could find mid-pass. Each mat is its own attributed line. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Post-event floor reset re-inspection
After each setup or teardown cycle, re-walk everything that moved: panel alignment, mat positions against the diagram, pit edge pads re-seated, signage back up. The rebuild is when gaps appear. Record the re-check, not just the build. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Monthly
Foam pit measurement & degraded-foam cull
Measure fill against the fill line and depth where tumblers land. Rotate foam bottom to top, cull compacted or torn blocks, and record counts removed and added. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Spring floor subfloor & spring inspection
Lift panels on a rotating section: spring seats, cracked sheeting, fastener back-out, shifted springs. Record which section was covered so the rotation is provable. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Coach credential & background-check expiry review
Review every active coach's credential and background-check dates in one facility-level pass. The credentialing bodies your programs answer to set the requirements; this task makes the review a dated record. Open a corrective item for anything expiring inside sixty days. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
addressing USASF Cheer Rules 2025-26Rod floor condition check
Walk the rod floor end to end: rod integrity beneath the carpet, dead response zones, edge attachment, and transition mats at both ends. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
Quarterly
Emergency action plan & spotting review
Walk the EAP with coaches on shift: athlete-down protocol on the floor, pit rescue steps, exits, and the incident documentation flow. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.
addressing USA Cheer Cheerleading Safety Manual
Yearly
Full floor & equipment inspection (qualified person)
Full inspection of the spring floor system, tumble track, pit structure, and mat inventory by a qualified person; file the report against this task and open corrective items for anything cited. Part of the Telure Standard: the manufacturer's manual governs all equipment intervals.

The manufacturer’s documentation governs
Where a manufacturer's documentation sets an inspection type or an interval for a piece of equipment, that documentation governs. The pack's cadences are a program to build on, not a replacement: when the two differ, Telure shows the difference so it can be seen and documented, and the recorded schedule follows the manufacturer.
Where Telure stands
The Telure Standard is Telure's own curated program. Telure is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or licensed by any standards body or association named here, and adopting the Telure Standard does not make a facility compliant with, approved under, or certified to any standard. Where equipment is involved, the manufacturer's documentation governs inspection types and intervals.
