College Intermediate Cheer Squads

Their coach is Demond from UCA Staff so they are knowledgeable and have plenty of skills but I think they are being smart and going INT to increase their chances of success

Oh okay, I haven't seen any full routine videos from them, just what they put on Instagram! Maybe they do college level pyramids and stuff for games and then just compete intermediate?

I really like their program! They posted a video of them warming up at NCA today and it looked so clean.

ETA: I think it's smart to go INT too.

So proud of WVU!!! They've done better in regards to placement in the past, but they looked really good this year.

"smart" or "unfair?" hmmmm.....

lol

that's like a solid level 5 team competing in level 3 at NCA All Star Nationals to "increase their chances of success."

Level six stunting is not that difficult, it is the tumbling. I would say 90% of colleges can do 2-2-1 stunts no problem, it is the tumbling on the hard floor that becomes the issue.

Attempting to win D1A is next to impossible with Louisville, OSU, and the other powerhouses. Schools with a less established cheer program, or a more game day focused cheer program, don't get the majority of the top level athletes to attend their school. Less level 5 athletes = less chance of winning. Schools go intermediate to have a remote chance of winning with the skill set they have. My team competed in D1A every year and laughed every time we went down because we knew we had no shot of winning, nationals became a "fun event" for us.

I am very hopeful that the UCA adds an intermediate division considering that Division IA for example is dominated by the likes of Kentucky, UCF, Alabama, LSU, and several other schools. We shall see...

I actually hope UCA doesn't add an intermediate division. I have seen programs their first year who were weak in areas develop and get stronger in the following years. I like the mentality of everyone doesn't get a trophy, winning is fun but it's also important to know how to lose.

I don't know allstar rules but I am guessing that would be illegal. But if it wasn't, how many teams do you think would?
I believe the same reason for Intermediate existing in college is similar to why we have 4.2 in all star.

Agreed! Not everyone needs to win or place high, that has to be earned!

My first year on mat we took 13th, next year 9th, then 5th the following year. We had high hopes for my last year but a couple people dropped and we got 10th. And wouldn't ya know it, life went on regardless.

It is possible to break into the rankings, just look at Ole Miss the last few years and Alabama 4-5 years ago.

It is legal, and you'd be surprised...
