Cheer Pet Peeves?

Sloppy hair before the performance and when people forget to bring their things to practice (or WORSE) competition

-When you feel like you're the only one trying in the group
-Bases that our laughing while the flyers in the air

- When the stunt gets to about press level and you just push it up on your own.
- Cheerleaders that only try when the head coach is around and slack off with the assistant coaches.
- When you're a captain/more experienced and you try to correct someone and they give you attitude.
- People who think all star cheerleading is without a doubt, hands down better than high school cheerleading and won't change their opinion no matter what.
- Lotion.

People that stick their elbows out in full/double downs, I love my flyers but I also love having teeth

Coaches who push kids to do skills they're not ready to do, or put kids on teams that they're not ready for, just because they're trying to please a parent!

The stunt group laughing after a stunt falls!

heaven help them.

The lack of enthusiasm in college cheer!

A few of mine:
-flyers with horrible flexibility
-people who aren't energetic in the routine
-bad motions
-people who laugh after stunts fall in practice
-people who goof off all the time

People that don't wear the correct shoes to practice e.g they practice in and base stunts in slipper boots yet don't get told of because the coach is their best friend.

When one person whinges at and blames one other girl on the team who helped the coach to change the routine to fit the scoresheet and the get us more points yet doesn't moan at the coach for making the routine max out and fit the scoresheet in the first place.

When the coach takes sides in cheer drama instead of remaining neutral because one of the people involved in the drama is her best friend and the coach threatens to kick the other person off the team only a few weeks before our next competition even though the other person hasn't done anything wrong.

When your coach and some teammates say the EP doesn't like us and that's why we didn't win or place..... No we didn't win or place because the other teams were better than us and our routine wasn't hard enough.
Or when you can say any constructive criticism without getting told you're being 'b*tchy'
Eughh rant over sometimes things need to be said but you can't tell the people that need to be told 'cause you know it will cause drama

Cheer mixes with rap in them! I think it sounds trashy :C

This is mine too!

people who think its ok to stand in front of you talking while your trying to watch the team on the floor .

Flexed feet.
Unis with Uggs.
Extremely cocky voiceovers.
And unappreciative cheerleaders who don't appreciate the fact that they have the ability/resources to cheer!

What are some of your cheer pet peeves?
Here are mine...

-When flyers aren't felxible enough to hold the bottom of their foot on a heelstretch, but instead hold their ankle.
-Jumps that have flexed feet and land their legs a mile wide apart.
-Slow tumblers.
-Walking into a competition arena and teams are walking around in their spankys and sports bra.
-Slow award ceremonies.
-Sloppy hair and makeup looks like its been thrown on at the last second.
-When flyers stick their elbows out on full downs/double downs.
-Bad and slow music.
-Not being ready (hair down, makeup not on, uniform off) when you get to the arena.
-Cowboyed out back tucks.
-Girls walking around with their uniform unzipped and skirts unbuttoned after the routine.
-Inconsiderate teams that walk infront of you in the middle of watching someones routine.
-Teams that take forever to get off the warm up mat.


Anyone else have pet peeves that are cheer related?
