I know the history of our sport. This still doesn't have anything to do with my post. America doesn't have monopoly over cheerleading and needs to open their eyes to the rest of the world.I understand and thank you. What you are missing is that what sideline cheerleading and competitive cheer looks like in the United States was stopped from being a sport. Lobbyied against. I’m not missing anything.
All of Europe except some UK clubs, are dead mats. (I'm 99% sure only the uk have spring floor, possibly Ireland too). I mean some clubs here in Sweden occasionally have access to gymnastics floor, but it's not common and we compete on dead mats so it doesn't do much. Honestly, so many clubs over here doesn't even practice on actual cheer mats, but on old tiny school gym mats, the red ones you know..I would be interested to know worldwide, how many programs exist that practice on a dead mat and how many programs exist that that practice on a spring floor. Anyone know of a way to figure that out?
(It seems like if Varsity wants to grow the sport, they should be figuring out how to make sure teams have access to spring floors, since the events they run are held on spring floors...and they aren't cheap)
