My stunting partner and I take hot yoga together to stretch our bodies out more than a normal cheerleader would be used to stretching. The heated room mixed with the repetition over time is so good for the muscles and it's not just stretching muscles and ligaments but it's making your body...
NCA is about 70 days away and I was wondering who everyone views as their top 5 to take Small Sr this year. I like Woodlands the best so far but ICE, GBE, Cali and SSX are all so close for me say who is a clear 2nd -5th. I'm not sure if SSX is going to Dallas but WC Suns would be my next one one...
As coaches, we are asked to exercise good judgement and knowledge that we know our athletes will be safe when performing skills at a competition. There's no rule or governing body that can go to a gym and make them drop a level(or 2 if needed).
I know that when that issue came up at our gym...
Some people will never be happy. We are just "shining light" on a topic that people love to argue with a valid point most of the time. By listing skills(to the best of our ability) people can see certain things they may have missed at the first viewing, good or bad. I've had the mob after me a...
As it stands, in my opinion of the tumbling from the Large Sr division, if we gave out points 1-5(5 being the best of the division) for the team with the most.
Panthers-8
Shooting Stars/Sr Elite - 7
F5-6
Peach-2
Panthers have the 2nd best tumbling, in both standing and running.
Stars and...
There were a few more fulls than I thought. Some of the videos show things better than others. I'll edit it to 10 because there are at least 7+ girls that legit 3 to double and 3 in the opening with the Whip Doubles based off this video.

When I counted Stars I counted by the formation, the first row was 7, meaning the next row was 6,etc. that's how I got to 22. One of my former athletes cheers at WC, not on Stars and she has a video that gives a little more clarity to the routine. The center 6 double instead of full so I gave...
I see CoachTamara has beat me to the punch lol! I like to compare sections as a whole and see who has the best of each and then see if that changes my overall opinion of who I think the victor should be.

I think that Peach has a routine that is, again, easy to follow. On a scoresheet its easy to reward them for their elements they are doing versus things getting lost in the shuffle. Rays are very good and playing to the score sheet and even though Peach may not be the fan favorite by all...
As a Panther fan I found their routine very easy to watch and to see what skills were being executed at any given time. I think isolating certain skills to certain sides of the floor will play to their advantage. For instance in standing tumbling, I clearly knew that Panthers did Cartwheel...
