when you look at the scoresheet, what is the time stamp? Mine is showing a date stamp of 5.20.2022, which to my knowledge is the most recent that they did their town hall on.
I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I was not "caught by surprise"...I knew it was coming, just didn't know what it would be with the way this season went on this current scoresheet and the feedback that was constantly rolling in and complaints being made. It was released to coaches several...
This was the first year they offered SO4 at Summit. Previously it was only IO4. In my opinion, most US teams don't want to compete on the International scoresheet--literally one time a year at Summit. It also wasn't a division where you could earn a paid bid or even a wildcard bid. USASF Open...
Replying to you, but more of a general question-- this obviously seems very geared towards the football season. How do you mitigate basketball season? That's where we seem to have the biggest struggle. Basketball schedules are WAY different than a pretty standard, set football schedule. And...
I had to explain Jammy to someone because of the Jamfest 1st place banner her team won--his face is prominently displayed in the center and the kids were like "what is that...?"
I felt so. old.
One of her comments was that she knew if she kept competing while “second guessing herself on the rest of the events” was that she felt like they could lose all medal prospects. (Super paraphrase but that was the bulk of it).
I had been thinking about that during qualifiers. To be fair, I don't really pay attention to Juniors, so I don't know what we have coming, but I wonder what the depth level of Team USA will be after these games (and now I guess during it), because a lot of these girls are going NCAA and while...
the article I read said there was a third athlete on “standby” as a potential close contact. Unlike their clarity in saying the person testing positive was an alternate, that distinction wasn’t there. Logic tells me it would be Kayla dicello since I don’t think the alternates had been with the...
Maybe. In my program, my junior level 4 can’t cross to a senior team. I only have a senior aged team in level 2. If they crossed, all season long it would be fine, but then I’d have to make them pick which one the wanted for summit and restructure a routine.
it could also have to do with skill...
while I don’t disagree that the junior age grid is less than ideal, international actually is tighter than standard junior.
But- I have 16 year olds on my junior teams this year. As a coach, it’s silly not to push the high end of the age grid, in any age division. We absolutely put kids in...
exactly. Do I want every kid in the area to want to come to my program? Absolutely. Do I know I’m not the right fit for every kid? You betcha. Without having to find ways to want to make my program better (regarding everything from finances, to uniforms to which competitions we attend) than the...
to be fair, I was not a merger, but a brand new, unaffiliated program when I opened. I didn’t take an old program and change its name. That being said, another local program had just recently announced not having a cheer program for the upcoming season anymore, and most of their athletes and...
