Can we petition against the rule that bans high school cheerleaders in Illinois from doing All-star? Even if they just practice together once a week until February, I can see them doing so well... their scoring potential is up there.
AZ had this same policy up until this most recent year. It was a high point of contention over here, mostly due to income inequality. If you coached at a poor school, you couldn't tell the parents to also pay for allstar cheer, versus a richer school who could align with a high profile program and have their athletes essentially get double trained. Plus, the athlete burnout is a much bigger factor. I think there could be a nice balance but it'll take a few more years. Definitely pros and cons both ways.
