All-Star Allstar Resort/block Party

[stuntaholic]

While I do agree the gyms needs to handle these issue themselves most of the time during the year... I think worlds is an exception. During the rest of the year you can kick them off the team or not allow them to participate in that competition when they get out of hand while on the road, however at worlds when it is all done you no longer have that option. In the athletes eyes there is no punishment that can be given to that athlete because there is no longer any more competitions. Therefore I think USASF and mainly Disney needs to handle this problem themselves during worlds.

The ACE kids are not allowed to go to the block party and they were not allowed to stay at All-Star this year. They also had to have a parent in EVERY room.

I totally agree that the "kids will be kids" excuse shouldn't be a green light for everyone to go buckwild on Sunday. I realize that many athletes DO make good choices, and many coaches enforce a strict policy. I'm saying that the kids who did get out of control chose to make poor decisions... they did whatever they pleased. The kids who had the freedom abused it. They probably didn't consider the repercussions, but then again teenagers are a litttle absent minded sometimes and make mistakes.

Until they get sued. Because I promise when (not if, when) someone's princess gets hurt because they ''looked the other way" a lawyer will have a FIELD DAY with Disney and USASF.





THIS. Times 1,000,000,000. Parent - it's a noun AND a verb. You have to BE it and DO it.

I see things like "i didn't know where she was" and "cp was with her friends all night so I know she was behaving" and I want to choke people. But the parents are too busy getting drunk themselves to even notice. Mamarazzi keeps trying to make me swear I'll go with her next year but I honestly don't know if I can deal with all the foolery I see on Facebook in person. I think I will go insane. I have one friend on Facebook who made an album titled "Worlds 2012" but when you look in it there is NOT ONE picture of her daugter, Worlds, or any cheerleading. For the record, this album has 148 pictures in it. Of her and her husband getting drunk. Gee...it's SO shocking that the kids don't behave right at Worlds. It makes me so mad because of how many people I know who will never go to Worlds. I wish the people fortunate enough to go would appreciate it.

mamarazzi and just-a-mom I want to go next year!!!!! Take me! I know how to have fun...and behave umm almost always.

To clarify: I'm 16 and I will be sober until I'm 21.

Now above the obvious, I don't get why you would want to get drunk at Disney World. That place is like my childhood. I'd feel like I was corrupting little me, if that makes sense hahaha.

Can I please shimmy this 1,000,000 times? Actually, I'd love to make up and distribute a sign saying this for parent viewing areas across the country...

Also, I think that the travel package set up is a problem as well. I know of a lot of parents who were staying off property while their kids were at the All Star. Personally, that will never be happening for my CP. Even the most diligent, parent-like coach can not chaperone an entire team. If you put 4 kids in a room by themselves they will find a way to do whatever they want regardless of consequence. To set up a travel package that puts these teams into rooms like this is a problem IMHO

I have already stated on this board more than once that my mother accidentally took 50 of her band kids to disney last year during worlds and was the worst mistake of her life. Besides the fact that she had a bunch of 8th grade boys with high school girls in sports bras and spanks running around...nothing good can come of that. She said cheerleaders were the most rude people she has ever had to deal with and she has been going to competitions since 2000 and said this was the worst one shes ever seen. She had parents who knew I was there for worlds with her and actually asked her why she ever allow me to participate in something like this and was absolutely embarrassed by that comment. These parents knew nothing of cheer but I can definitly tell you they will not be signing up their kids because of the behavior they wittness. We really want to grow the sport than we need to stop going to family oriented places like disney and acting like the rebellious children that no one loves.

Heres my rules for Disney:
1. DO NOT let your teammates cut line with you. That honestly was my mothers biggest complaint. She said so many times a huge group of people would cut line in front of them to be with their teammates and when she said something to them they looked at her and sometimes even said something like "what are you going to do about it?" ITS RUDE!
2. Stating the obvious....dont drink or do drugs...there is really nothing else that needs to be said with that.
3. I know when you practice everyone has their cute little outfits and such but please do not wear them to the parks or be walking around in your sports bra and spanks all day. Again, imagine trying to deal with 8th grade boys while all that is walking around...not pretty. Not to mention you have 8th GRADE BOYS staring and you and most likely fantasizing about you....ew.
4. do not yell and scream and run all over the resort at night. Some people do have little kids who need to sleep and are there for a good time with their family.
5. Just remember you are not only representing your gym but are representing cheerleaders as a whole. Do you really wanna be the reason someone doesn't let their child cheer because she saw that trashy cheerleader running around with no clothes on, drunk, and making noise all night. Be responsible, stay classy, and most of all represent us well at all times...especially at disney when there is tons of people who are going to look at you and judge whether or not they could put their child in cheer.

And to anyone who has doubts as to whether or not your actions in Disney reflect on parents deciding whether or not to sign their child up for cheer: THEY DO. At UCA Nationals in Disney in March, I was on the bus with a group of girls from another gym. There were also some little bitty cheerleaders we were speaking to. This was a mix of three different gyms- complete strangers- just chatting and laughing on the bus system for a good 40 minutes (traffic). A mom who was in Disney enjoying vacation with her husband, their two sons, and their 3 year old daughter. This woman came up to us to ask if we knew of any programs in her state, wondering if it was popular there. She told us that our sportsmanship and manners made her views on the all star cheer world change. She said she always viewed it as a malicious world prior to that.

Obviously this is an extreme example. But PLEASE just recognize that your actions leave impressions on so many people you wouldn't even think of. You wouldn't want a little girl to miss out on a sport she may love because YOU were rude and/or obnoxious to someone. After all, what if that had been your mom that was subjected to that behavior, and she hadn't let you cheer because of some stranger's behavior? Just reflect on that before you go out and get buck wild while representing our sport.

Rant over.

Totally agree that is a problem....in fact I am shocked that they allow 4 kids to stay in a room with out at least one adult.

 

[CharlotteASMom]

Well, you can't kick out the kid with the double double now can ya? :cow:

In all seriousness though, I couldn't agree with you more. I see it with many gyms though...they turn a blind eye to bad behavior when it's a kid they need to keep.

Thanks !

You do it once, even to the kid with a double double, and you'll never have to do it again!

I can't tell you the number of girls I saw at the airport in t-shirts and spanks today. The airport! Spandex shorts are gym clothes, they're not meant to be work around in public. I felt the same way with the girls in the cafeteria in sports bras and spandex.

I'd like to tattoo it across the foreheads of half these people's kids so they'd see it every day. People will never cease to amaze me with the things they allow... and the things they are oblivious to.

So true. CP was once involved with a program where one of the Prima Donna kids made a very nasty comment to a male cheerleader. Promptly got booted out of the program. Zero tolerance works!

That's what parenting is for. What's the difference between 4 kids in a room together without an adult, and the same kids running around the resort without and adult?

 

[Underestimated]

apparently the reason why there were cops and stuff was because someone punched a security guard and ran away so they were looking for him. idk if it was a cheerleader or a random person?​
