Just guessing here, but if she's landing with her feet together, she may not be able to prevent that. If she's landing with feet apart, I'd suggest trying to strengthen her leg muscles as her knees may be collapsing in on the landing, which isn't great overall. But in general, female athletes...

Flying is somewhat based on size, however there is a lot more that goes into it. Some of my best flyers have been 'bigger' because they work harder to get themselves in the air and hold their weight up there by squeezing. I've also had some of the teeniest flyers who were actually not fun to...

I can't comment on level 3 scores, as we're on a different and comparative score sheet in Canada. However, I once had a junior team hit 0, but they came 5th. Parent were confused. It was a good run. Upon looking at scoresheets, we were actually on par or slightly above the other teams in...

Toss to prone maybe? Had to say just from the photo

The advantage of having it at the start is that your athletes aren't out of breath from the first half. That can lead to lower cheer scores if the cheer is harder to hear or understand because athletes are out of breath. At the start makes it very clear for judges to hear. That said, you have...

Some more information would be helpful. How old is she? 80 lbs at 12-13 is a big difference than 80lbs at 16/17. She could still grow and be a great base if she's willing to learn. But it could come down to flexibility, needs of the team, ability, so many things. You should ask the coaches...

Remember to breathe during your stunts. Lots of people hold their breath. Talking through your stunts can actually help, either counts or cues. You can't talk if you're not breathing. Also, as you get more familiar with your routine, find your breathing counts. Those 2-4 counts where you're...

**This is all based on my experiences across several provinces in Canada and what I have seen. Every gym is different in how/how long they train. This is also probably not a complete list, and sometimes weird accidents/injuries happen in every sport** There's a lot that can influence...

And yet, NT has extended my cheer career since I stopped tumbling several years ago (I'm too old now). I could be on a tumble team, but will always feel that I'm not putting forth everything while others tumble and I don't (and I was on tumble teams for years as a very mediocre tumbler). NT...

Though not on topic for this, weight doesn't make you a good flyer. You will continue to grow and change into your late teens/early twenties. I'm level 7 and throw around fully grown adult women. I routinely throw flyers who weight 130lbs or more because they are adults. They do their job of...

All jewelry must come out, so if they fall under that category, which I assume they would, you would need to remove them for comps. Personally, I wouldn't want to catch a flyer with those in a cradle as even rhinestones on uniforms dig and scratch at times, and I assume those would too

Are results posted anywhere? Specifically for partner stunt. I saw Navarro won, but the only list I could find had a Weber State team in front with Bid Qualified beside a bunch of teams. Was that semis? Sorry, up in Canada and don't really follow US College stuff

Part of our requirement to coach in my Province (and I think all of Canada actually) is to be First Aid certified, and to take several courses in eluding Emergency Action Planning, Practice Planning, and more, and then your ICU certification for the level you're coaching. The higher the level...

I have done it all - high school, University, profession football, all-star. I enjoyed my time on the pro football team, but I prefer competing, and still do. I know lots of competitive AS cheerleaders who do switch over as they're slowing down from competition. It's a time to keep doing the...

I had almost an identical break when I was a kid. It healed quickly, about 5-6 weeks, but it took close to 6 months to build the strength back up for tumbling and high impact activities. Not saying it will take that long, or that it won't be longer. But you need to follow the suggestions of...

Thanks. I thought I had heard they were a half year team, making me think they would be at 2022 Worlds

Does anyone know why Unity Blush wasn't at Worlds? I thought they were planning to attend, but apparently I was wrong about that. I was excited to see another AG7 team

This. I'm curious to see how many get stuck at the border with a positive rapid test. I don't know if we've had a full team practice since mid-December because of Covid. Hopefully everyone can make it safely. But I'll also say Flyers Karma and Legends will likely globe in 7NT, and Karma will...

I'm International division in Canada, and our understanding is that IASF divisions are top 3 from each country as per usual. I haven't read the worlds packet though

Ontario went back into lockdown right after Christmas and there was nothing for about 6 weeks, so they've only been back training about 3-4 weeks now. Most Canadian teams only started competing again at the end of January since Covid started (Ontario had 1 in December before they got shut down...
