Great to see you posting! Not horrified or shocked at all. I'm relieved, this has been a long time coming.

NCATA created a fully sanctioned NCAA sport that met all Title IX requirements and Varsity blocked it for STUNT then lobbied for HS's to use the format because "it's a full sport, we use baseball terms and everything"

This is sad, but needs to happen. For those who are shocked, good. This has been happening openly in the industry since the beginnings of Worlds and the other Varsity expansion efforts. It has been an industry and primarily one entity that profits from every aspect of the youth activity and...

Count on it and it will be big. Lots of information will be coming out.

Let's not forget the corporate entities responsible: Varsity (and their parent corporation), NCA, UCA, Jambrands, etc.

This is long overdue in the industry. At this point we should acknowledge it is currently not a sport and has never been governed as one. It's been an industry that ran a youth activity from tinies through college and allowed it to get to this point. Many decisions were clearly made to...

Welcome. We look forward to it.

Welcome!

Then there are the dads that I knew who were like this:

What about dads?

When the USASF cared enough to have a Parent Action Committee we used to teach it every season.

I think it’s more accurate to say “so many separate event producers that all work for the same company or are trying to make it happy”

It’s unfortunate that some parents forget that this is their child’s sport, not theirs. There is a significant investment and all parents care about their CPs triumphs and challenges, but they don’t realize they are sabotaging their CPs experience and progression through negative behavior...

Is it fraudulent? Please tell us and if so, take the link down. If not, let’s correct that so people can donate in good faith.

Together I think our posts make a good complete thought. Too bad the industry influences won’t ever go that direction.

That’s ok. That’s what the Newbie section is for. You cracked the code!

WHAT IF... This was more like a true sports competition system. Early competitions in the season were all regionals with no bids given out so they are truly to get your skills in order and get competition experience. “Nationals” could only use that title if they had 10 teams per division or...

Sounds like this hasn’t changed from 10 years ago. Sigh...if only this industry organized itself like a sport

@ScottyB you get your own post. You should know better than to use this behavior and beyond that your posts started to get pointedly personal and even resorted to using those tags against people in other threads. The edit function is also there for a reason . . . fixing grammar for a short...

Hey everyone! It’s taken something extra special to take me out of my quiet mod hermit status “Dislikes” and “Bully” tags were created for a reason (we only had likes at an earlier point of the boards) “Dislikes” allow people to demonstrate that they didn’t like a person’s comment. That is...
