Our cheerleaders practice on 1 panel mat or old folding mats in our gymnasium or auditorium over a hardwood floor . Cheerleading teams and organizations require 9 panel mats for all competitions. Our athletes need the mats so they can practice effective tumbling, jumping, and stunting and be able to land on a soft surface to prevent injury.
