All-Star J5 Returning To Worlds Next Year?

[uhhlyssa01]

This really makes you start wondering statistics on how many crossovers you have from J5 to S5.... I know the age gap is kinda slim (compared to say, youth and junior), but assuming J5 did go back to worlds, surely they wouldn't allow crossovers, right? I can't help but wonder if that would affect the amount of awesome junior 5 teams we saw because like it or not, we know when given the option most age eligible level 5 kids will want to be senior. (Not related, but junior is my favorite age division. I love watching junior teams and will hopefully have the opportunity to coach one next year!)

I wish it would instead reduce the amount of S5 teams from a program. For those programs that have like 4-5+ Worlds teams, if you made all Junior aged kids stay on J5, then condensed all remaining "true" L5 senior aged kids, you would probably end up with 2 Worlds teams and maybe a Restricted 5.

If you want to see full squad BWO then watch any Michigan HS cheer. Watch Rochester HS 2009(?) state championship round 2. The most beautiful full squad BWO I've ever seen.

OMG Thankful I will never have to compete/practice a round 2 ever again. Practicing it is no joke bc 100000000009s of backwalkovers in a row over and over and over until they're on time and it's absolutely awful. Ours never looked like Rochester's but wow it was rough.
One year we put them in round three and we had to do two 3 count BWOs in a row. 3COUNTS. So fast and so so painful. Another year I did 5 in our round 3 alone. Basically my back was shot all 4 years of HS and I can't do them anymore lol
Oh and we lost districts once bc a girls backwalkover stopped in the middle and we got a penalty lol still not over it
I'm surprised I don't have nightmares about all the bad backwalkovers in my life

I have seen the dismount at 0:26 performed by countless heavy hitters, and they were NEVER this clean.

So many HS teams try creative stunt sequence but they are rarely this clean! These guys could easily hang with the Southern teams, their technique was amazing!

Not trying to derail the thread, but I once watched a Michigan team's synchronized team layouts for the tumbling round.

I wanted to cry tears of joy. They were beautiful.

Michigan high school cheerleading is the strangest form of cheerleading I've ever seen.

It puts me very much in the mind of A&T rather than cheer, but I think the focus on technique is cool.

It reminds me more of old school cheer.

@Official OWECheer I had forgotten about those crazy stunts we used to do back in the stone ages

You cheered back then?

School cheer. Nothing nearly as impressive as Greenup, but crazy enough that I look back and wonder how we didn't kill ourselves on the basketball court.

I can't imagine how scary your practice must have been!

 

[dawgshow]

I don't think that it ever occurred to us to be scared

Plus a lot of teams, if they even had mats, practiced on wrestling mats. If I were a parent back then, my kids probably wouldn't have cheered... lol the scared parents nowadays have no idea how tame things are.
