I think going in and being on an NT team or a 4.2 would be really good and allow you to learn the stunting skills while also having the opportunity to go to tumble classes or take tumble privates and work on developing those skills too. You could also reach out to the gym you are interested in...

Flytes will be fine. Work on your hollow body shape as this is so important at helping you maintain a strong core in the air. Squeeze everything! I used to always think about tightening and pulling all my body weight up through my shoulders when I was flying and this helps squeeze all my...

As well as the individual skills, she could work on linking her tumbles together as that's important at an elite level. So working on double backwalkovers, bwo switch leg and cartwheel through to bwo, and when she is getting that frontwalkover more consistently, also working on fwo through to...

It's hard to comment without knowing what skills are in the routine. Overall it's usually better to have a routine with slightly lower difficulty that your kids can execute well and hit cleanly over a challenging routine that will look messy and is a risk of not hitting. Assuming you are on...

There's some flexibility on the international age grid (here in the UK anyway) where if the athlete is too young for the division at Worlds/Summit this season, but is competing for a bid for next season and would be eligible to compete at Worlds/Summit in the year the bid is for, then they are...

Thissss is so important! I have pretty much always been a front spot (apart from rare occasions flying) as I have a weak wrist so basing is always tricky, and I like to think I'm pretty good at it! I've on more than one occasion stopped my stunt from coming down and was always able to work out...

We teach same arm and leg straight but many of our kids who have self-taught can't do it and prefer the other arm so in routines it always just ends up a mix of whatever works for them to have the cleanest valdez!

It doesn't come under dismount rules as the back spot has contact with the arabesque leg throughout the whole twist so it's not released. I would class it as a half twisting transition from prep BP to cradle. We have competed this at USASF level 2 so you should be fine for level 3, although it...

To update, we got two ASW bids this past weekend and 18-21st April is the dates we have been given from the EP.

We have from the 18th-21st down for ASW. Nice and early this year. Suits teams from Scotland as it's the week before our school exams start so kids can get back in time to sit them and don't need to do any while away. Summit was a struggle for us this year - we had to have kids sit exams at 6am...

Honestly I don't know how the parents at Zodiac have afforded any of their travel over the past few years. 2022 they flew out to Atlanta for Cheersport, then flew from there to Dallas for NCA, flying back to the UK after 2 weeks in the US. Less than 2 weeks later they flew to Orlando for UCA and...

They are promoting going to Camp Geneva and training with TGLC, Lady Jags etc to encourage sign ups for their Worlds team.

I'm really not sure how I feel about cheer gyms here (that are successful under their own names - CF10 has a great dance programme) going under the umbrella of big US gyms. I absolutely understand that there are benefits in franchising but also I like looking at Worlds/Summit and seeing teams at...

Especially with the new age grid in the UK implementing the ten year age range for senior divisions.

Tried to write basically this exact response and couldn't get the words right so thank you :)

Hi all! If anyone is there in person and is about this afternoon we would love some support today for Solid Rock Amethyst from Scotland - on at 1:23pm today in Athletic Center. First time at Summit for all of our athletes. Good luck to all other teams competing this weekend - we can’t wait to...

I’m in the arena and the atmosphere for Generals was unreal. Always great to get the chance to watch in person but definitely missing being able to jump about between feeds to catch all the teams! Here with 22 Scottish kids who want to see all the big teams and the looks they gave me when I...

Tried to search the forum to see if there was an older thread I could bump instead of creating a new one but everything was super old and closed. I am from the UK and was lucky enough to go to watch a day of Worlds when I was working in Orlando back in 2014. I'm going to the Summit this year...

Feel free to DM me with where you're going and I'll have a look for teams in the area for you. I'm genuinely surprised that your uni team here has tumbling requirements as I would say a good amount of people on uni teams here are brand new to cheer! You might surprise yourself with the coaching...

Hey! I know how you feel! I started cheer when I was 13 and just honestly was never going to get any tumble skills. Highest level I've competed at is level 3 and that was with my uni team and no one had any tumble skills so it was OK (back before NT was even thought of). I can't even round off...
