This is not just a "big gym" issue..... I notice a growing trend in my area of teams who don't bump up to the next level, despite their kids being more than capable of doing so..... this is a real situation:
Gym A- has been in existence for over a decade, with kids who have been cheering that...
I know there are rules pertaining to Worlds, but what about lower levels?
If I had a last minute need for a backspot on my J1 team, and had another coach offer me a kid for a national, could I theoretically take that kid and put her in a uniform and then return her to her own gym for their...
Hi everyone,
I've recently come into contact with an all-star team near me that is located in the inner city, and is DESPERATELY in need of a lot of things. These are kids with great work ethic and heart who come from families that can barely afford the basics in life, let alone pay for...
Roundoff rebound to prone.... It doesn't actually specify whether that means rebound forward to prone or rebound bakwards and half turn to prone. To me, i would think its unnatural to roundoff and then rebound in the opposite direction of travel, but then wouldnt that technically be a half turn...
Show & Go, Drop Stretch.... I'm nervous about this only because of the "Single leg stunts may not be held at or pass through an extended position" rule... If the secondary releases the foot AFTER the extended position is hit, and on the way down to prep level, do we stay legal?
Athletic Championships is showing THREE different dates for their NJ event on their website.... Dec 2 on the events calendar, but when you click on the event it says Dec 1..... then the map says Dec 4. Hello? We want to give you our money, but how the hell can we finish our competition calendar...
I just wanted to share that I haven't been on the boards in a week. My subconscious must've been telling me that I have to log on asap, because I had a dream last night where Mamarazzi and I were running to make it to the "fierce house" on time and we had to steal a pickup truck to get there...
Hello all, I've done some reading about it, but I thought I'd see if any of you have experience with this. I have a new girl at my gym who is 13 and has Presyncopy, but she has been cleared by her physician to participate. Presyncopy is a heart condition that results in frequent fainting. The...
Hey all, I'm working on a handbook for my new program. I was doing fine until I got to the "Parent Expectations" page, and now I find that everything I write makes me sound like a huge b***** lol
Anyone have one of these written into their handbook or rules? Care to share? :)
This has been done before, in terms of the image discussion, but I thought I'd share the experience I had this weekend at Return to Atlantis.
This was the FIRST EVER cheerleading competition that my girlfriend has ever attended. She was completely shocked that parents allow their children to...
I noticed in the Comp thread that everyone was buzzing about the few L5 teams that were there. I was at this competition, and while I wasn't there the whole day, there were some definite standouts for me in the lower levels that I thought I would recognize.
LIBERTY ALL STARS MINI 1 was...
I remember a while ago that someone posted a video by the USASF that was sort of a "What is All-Star Cheerleading" commercial/ad type of thing. I tried their site, youtube, and the search bar and no luck... anyone?
This team looked good last year, given that it was their first year in level 5. I have to say, I think they've really evolved quite a bit this year, definitely stepping it up a notch! I'm a huge proponent for small gyms creating teams based on skill, and not necessarily on trying to fill 20...
I know COA used to have a college non-tumble division. I don't see it anywhere on their website anymore. Does anyone know if they or any other company may offer this as a division?
I have been given a unique opportunity to basically start a college cheer program from scratch. I have been reading extensively about the differences between NCATA and STUNT, and I need to lay out a budget proposal this week when I meet with the administration. At this point, I think STUNT is...
I wasn't sure if there had been a post about this, I searched for a few things.... anyhow, I caught this on fbook just now, and I'm totally shocked. Just Cheer's gym got hit really badly with Hurricane Irene's aftermath of flooding in the area. I'm wondering if any other gyms have been as...
She is a fierce B**** so she needs her own thread... discuss:)

Just got my 19th follower, who wants to make it 20? I'm weird about numbers, especially the number 19... I'm about to create a second account and follow myself so I don't have to look at it LOL
Someone else follow me:)
