My HS competed NCA when I was around but I heard that with a coaching change recently they were going for UCA this year. Very excited to see them on the list in Small Varsity D1!! Fingers crossed they pull through!

Interested that El Do is in small varsity even though they announced earlier this year they are competing medium? Hm.. Also strange I see no Southwestern Varsity but a JV.

Maybe they're doing what Burlington did and competed JV for a year.

I’m a firm believer that competing JV just because you’re having a down year is horse poop

As someone who was on JV till her senior year I know JV teams deserve a lot more respect. I could understand if they do it because they have a brand new team or because they're doing a mini rebuild. If the routine is still great then nothin's wrong.

If you don’t have a varsity team competing, you should not be competing JV. That should be a rule. I guarantee those girls aren’t cheering JV Games. So that means they dropped to JV because they’re afraid to take their lumps in a rebuilding year. That’s one reason Cheer is not a sport. No other SPORT allows for that.

Yep. Is your team competing at this comp by any chance?

We will be competing at Bluegrass. I’m not even sure which team/comp sparked this particular segue in the conversation.

Someone has seen on the schedule of the bluegrass regional that southwestern does not have a small varsity competing this weekend but a small JV. Then I mentioned how burlington had done similar a few years back.
No team should be competing JV whether they are brand new, doing a mini rebuild or not. Some teams have to lose. It's the only way to have true winners. Yes, it sucks if you have to be the losers, but that is part of life. What are you teaching kids by putting them in a JV division when you are not a true JV? That winning is more important than integrity?
And I say all this as the coach of a team that is only on it's 3rd year of competing. We have our fair share of losses, and I would never dream of putting them in a JV division just to go to nationals.

Funny enough the JV rule is the same for my state, where if there is no middle school team in the school, a middle schooler can try out for a JV team if they pass a fitness exam and get through tryouts with the team. My team did have 8th graders trying out for the high school teams but they had to spend a year on the middle school team and get the blessing of the coaches. Most would end up on JV first but a couple made varsity and proved themselves.

Similar to when you see teams dropping down to Novice or Intermediate at NCA HS Nationals when you know they throw Advanced skills during the school year.
...but but that's none of my business.
