From what I read, Michigan really doesn’t know if they are going to allow contact sports yet, so the gym has had to continually push back evals and other events. But I’ve seen some other things that would make me believe there’s more to the story.
Y’all our program grew SO much because of the pandemic and school sports being cancelled. It’s crazy. I coached 3 teams last year and I’m pumped to be coaching 6 this season! Grew from 9 full year teams to 14.
From our prep program I am coaching tiny novice, mini novice and senior prep 1. And...
We already have another at our second location haha...we’re working on moving a few of the newer ones up to mini prep to slim it down. It’s going to be interesting to say the least
Bringing this thread back because I got a new coaching gig about a month ago!! (Hubs & I moved across the state and had to leave my old program)
I coach 5 allstar teams across two locations and one of our coaches was actually mine when I was in high school. Everything happens for a reason...
Ok NO clue how I just found this out but my old tumbling coach is permanently banned from USASF and has criminal charges for sexually assaulting a minor?! I used to do private lessons with him as a kid. I’m so disgusted. Why do people suck!?
Geez. The girl I coached with the bright green nails refused to take them off and when we got to our big comp and practiced at a local gym she caught a skill in the pyramid with a bad grip and ripped one off. She cried and stopped performing that routine and the whole team was upset and held her...
I have literally SO many scars on my hands from the girls who thought that it was smart to get acrylics...my body is permanently!! scarred!! because of acrylic nails. I get onto my kids SO much before comps and during the season and tell them that they had better not get acrylics before a comp...
Yep. My first year at Salem was 2002 and Courtney was our head coach. She stuck around a few years to get the gym going (we were brand new), and then Ben took over and ran things. That gym is his baby. Many of my teammates would cross to teams at Kville and they called upon us several times as...
I realize not everyone will understand, but this event might be the greatest thing to happen to rec cheer in a while. Look- I was an allstar athlete for over a decade, on highly competitive teams that traveled to NCA, Summit, etc. Nowadays, I coach a rec team. We have two allstar gyms in the...
Just got out of the coaches meeting and was in a conversation with your coaches- super bubbly and funny. Hate to hear about the sickness that hit your team!! Good luck! We will be watching!
Ive gone once as a collegiate athlete (when I was an allstar we did BATB, not canam), and this wil be my second as a coach, and from what I’ve been able to tell it’s a good comp.
CEA and Rockstar are the two gyms with well-known worlds teams that will be in attendance.
The year I competed with...
I have wide feet as well. I wore just about every brand of cheer shoe possible growing up, trying to find something good for wide feet. Kaepa’s were SO narrow and hurt. No limits have no support. Nike’s are too stiff for wide feet (I also have no arch so that contributed to my disliking of this...
The whole situation is so sticky. I feel for both programs. It should have been handled differently by V AND Stingrays. But what absolutely pisses me off is that V has posted results on their website without scores, and listed them as a tie, while scoresheets are floating around and it is very...
