I hope all success at your new gym. I know the owners as they were with my two CP at another gym (that gym lasted for two seasons) and one of them was actually a coach for one of CP teams. The coach that left CEA-I know also as she was coach at another previous gym and the year she came to CEA...
I could write pages and pages about this whole situation as you can see in my name-we are (were-my kids have aged out) a cheer family in NC. We have cheered from pop Warner to All stars, through two HS seasons and been with the best collegiate program in the state. These stories have been...
They do compete with them day 1. Just at the first part which is their spirit routine. Usually just 45 seconds. At least they did when my kid competed at NCA for 4 years
At my CP old school. There were two mascots. Mr and Mrs Wuf. Between 4 and 5 people were each mascot. One year one of the girls was much taller than the other two and made her own costumes. Our school has a formal tryout process and they take video submissions first. It is a ton more work...
Whoo hoo! NCSU won group stunt! Loved this comp. My daughter did group stunt three years ago and I was just going back through the pics. And they did it in retired unis! Fun and retro!
I know. I was looking at the team that competes AND does sideline. The club team competes on the intermediate level. My daughter cheered there for 4 years and won NCA twice on small coed. It’s two totally different teams.
A small gym in Wake Forest NC has always had red, white and black uniforms. I have liked the black ones they have done. Not as thrilled with their red one this year. A lot of extra stuff. My oldest CP when she cheered in college had a black uniform. A red one. And a white one. My favorite was...
I have been to NCA for 3 years. I always stayed at the Nautilus Inn. Clean, safe. Can walk if you need to but I always drove. Book now if you have not already done so. Rooms fill up fast
My kid cheered at one of the most competitive programs in the nation and would not have changed it for the world. She met her best friends and met her boyfriend indirectly through cheer. She will tell you in a heartbeat that it was the best four years of her life. That being said. It was a...
I will say that the competition at the senior level 4 teams was fierce. So many teams hit zero both days and placements were soooo close. We were in Medium coed 4.2 and came in second by just .3. The difference of just someone dancing a little more. Legs together in tumbling or pointed toes. I...
It was practice wear. Then they bought the chokers/sleeves to make it into a Uni. USASF said “No Go” to wearing on stage. I guess they are now cracking down on having underarms show. And the white unis were a gift. The black ones were new last year.
It is all very true and more. They are going from 0 to 60 with no leeway. My friends going to worlds and who are chaperones are stressed. The ramifications for breaking the rules are severe. Name stripped of worlds wins. Giving back bid money. Not being able to compete, etc. No one out after...
My oldest knew from age 10 where she wanted to cheer in college and luckily she fell in love with the campus and it had the academic program she was interested in. My other daughter is a Jr and has a long list of schools she is interested in both for academics and cheer. We have been to two...
I know of plenty of injuries I have seen (including one to my own kid) came from college level baskets. Concussion. Broken Jaw. Broken nose. And this is from one of those top 1% of programs. At college nationals I saw some baskets and cringed and then covered my eyes-praying for a good outcome...
