There's a thread on here called "worst excuses to miss practice" or something like that. Look it up, it is hilarious it's my favorite thread!Really bad excuses for missing practice/being late.
I'm not talking about "There was an accident on the freeway." It still counts as using one of your chances to be late (For all stars, my kids get 4 absences and 4 late passes to use throughout the season) but it's not going to make me give you the side-eye.
Then there's the ones that are totally avoidable and/or make no sense. Specifically with my non-Youth kids who know better such as:
"I couldn't find my pink sports bra."
"I had the wrong shoes."
"My carpool wanted to stop at Starbucks."
WHAT.

x a thousand-flyers/bases that only want to stunt with specific people. This is a TEAM sport, and you may have to stunt with a newer base even if you don't want to for the good of the TEAM.
-people who rush through tumbling progressions, and look down on those taking their time. Tumbling takes longer for some to learn (...me) especially for those who want to have good form in the long run
-Complaining that a flyer is too heavy. (I am not talking about when a flyer feels heavier than usual and just needs to be tighter) There is almost no way that a flyer can't be lifted with three equally sized or stronger bases and a backspot. Usually statements like these are also made by (for example) bases jealous because they want to fly. That is NOT acceptable. Flying is already sometimes a tricky subject when it comes to self-esteem and weight, and no girl should have to deal with additional comments like that.
Whew! Rant over. Carry on.

Again not a technical thing. More of thing said then done. I don't like when people refer to younger cheerleaders on senior teams as "fetus" it grosses me out. And it's not cool. I see it on social media all the time and I think it's disrespectful.

This was informative! I just thought they were trying to be funny. But these little girls should not be called fetus. I feel like they work to hard to be called that.I agree. I don't care for this either.
Murphy's Law states that the kid calling another girl "fetus" typically is an older senior athlete (16-18) who has sour grapes over not being a flyer herself and believes that she would be flying if it weren't for the younger senior kids (10 to 14 year-olds) "taking up all the flyer spots."
Rather than being happy basing, she uses a derogatory term to refer to any flyer on the team who is younger or smaller than she is.
She also likely has delusions of grandeur concerning her own flying skills. These are often supported by an equally delusional parent who also uses the term "fetus" to describe those smaller and younger flyers.
How about we call them FOSSS instead - Flyers of Significantly Smaller Statures. Is that better?I agree. I don't care for this either.

As the parent of a cp who always has and always will happily base, I find the term "fetuses" in reference to flyers pretty darn amusing, as well as how bent out of shape people get over hearing that term used. Don't want to hear the term used about your flyers? Then don't use 10 year olds who are significantly smaller and way less mature looking than the rest of your 17-18 year old senior team who are basing them and tossing them around like rag dolls. For me, it is more appearance of maturity of the flyer than the actual size. I've seen plenty of petite, solid flyers who are within the same age range as their team, and I don't think anyone is calling them fetuses.
