My level three team does one-man preps and twists down from them. So, I'd assume that that is legal.

:cow:

So, I'm writing an argument essay for English class about how cheerleading is a sport, and one of my claims is that cheerleading takes extreme physical ability. So, that's where all of you gym owners/coaches/athletes come in: What I need from you (my hope is that I can get a quote from an...

Stay on your toes. I'm a powerful tumbler, but the one thing that kills my power is that I tumble flat-footed. Do calf raises. Every night, I do 30 with my feet parallel, 30 with my feet turned out, and 30 with my feet turned in. They really help!

I'm going!

^^^ This. CP will be obsessed. Such a great toy for long drives to competitions. As you can see in this picture, I'm kind of obsessed.

Oy vey. :banghead: With the excessive colored mystique and the mesh... I can't. I just can't.

The four year old in me would be secretly crying, LOL.

We all have good tumbling days and bad tumbling days, but what factors play into having a good day or a bad day? This could include nutrition, sleep, etcetera, but what do you guys do/suggest for better performance at practice? Thanks!

Conditioning shouldn't have such a negative connotation because it's honestly very effective. Last year, I was dying when running full-outs. We ran the routine full out for the first time a couple days ago, and my routine calls for more difficult skills and endurance this year. I'm glad to say...

I also don't want to "Only imagine, only imagine, what it'd be like" ever again. Most overused stunt song.

Have you ever gotten to ring the bell? If you did, tell us the story!

Choreography contest. Splitting up into groups and telling kids to make a jump sequence with some type of element, and maybe a stunt, or a dance sequence, etcetera. It's a lot of fun and it really helps you work together.

By train would be a lot easier but I'm not aware of any very close train stations. By bus, probably 40 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic.

Just Cheer has IOC5 once again. Pretty easy drive from Manhattan, about 20-30 minutes one way without traffic. You should check it out, it's an amazing program!

Just remembered Miley was an allstar cheerleader until the sixth grade at premier Tennessee something. I'm under the impression that she was probably center twerker.

That's the fun of it. :cheering:

Have them go into a room one by one. If they make the team, a track of heavenly angels singing opera will turn on, a spotlight will shine on the cheerleader, giving her an angelic glow. Then majestic doves will fly into the room and gracefully hand the cheerleader her poms, uniform, and bow...
