Every athlete has skills that they are proficient at and others skills that they may struggle with but ultimately it is up to the organization and the coaches to add talent to the given team where they see fit. To say that if a certain athlete does not do jumps to back or tumble makes them not...
Ding, Ding, Ding. Whatever it takes to get the hardware and it stinks because teams that should have a legit shot to win with the team that they won the bid with will lose out to teams who load up with higher level athletes to beat them out. I know I'm obviously not the only one who noticed it...
I have so many thoughts on The Summit and can't put them all in this post so let me just say that I felt it was run fairly well for a first year event. There is always a fear that the first year of an event can be a disaster but I feel like it went pretty smooth, there are some things that need...
This discussion will take place every year after the coverage airs on TV. I was not happy with the coverage but I also realize that everyone has favorite teams and not all of them will get air time which will get everyone angry. I'm not sure what the solution is but maybe an extra hour of...
Sometimes you need to make decisions and sacrifices for the benefit of the team and not one individual. Based on your comments about how things have gone at practice since you kicked her off the team I think you know you made the right decision for the team. I can understand the feeling of...
Like others have mentioned, I expected a response like this from them. Some PR person wrote that statement and short of directly saying "Piss Off" they basically said we will ignore this proposal because we can. They have all the power and they like it that way, it's going to take a monumental...
It's not just other gyms, it is people in general. There are so many kids/parents that go to these larger events as spectators with no affiliation to any gym that particular day and they do record their favorite teams. It may not be an attempt to sabotage (although I would not put it past some)...
Don't get me wrong, I agree with you 100% but considering that the end result could mean the ousting of many current board members and Varsity losing their leverage I would not expect the response to be positive. I have felt that this was headed in the wrong direction for some time now and...
I posted my response in the other section under the "Breaking News" article but I'm guessing that this thread will take off before that one does so below is my .02
WOW...I like the idea and support an independent governing body. I have said at least a few times in other threads here that I...
WOW...I like the idea and support an independent governing body. I have said at least a few times in other threads here that I felt like a storm would be brewing because once Varsity started gobbling up Comps and other companies related to All Star that they were forming a monopoly and when that...
Both of my CP's inspire me and it's not only because of Cheer but because of who they are what they have become. They are both very good students who are on the honor roll and just all around good kids. Neither are in the "popular" group of kids in school and I don't think either one cares one...
Not surprised at all and I hate to say it. If you want to catch fish you go to a place you know has a lot of them, same goes for perverts and kids. I have no doubt this happens more than we want to believe and that these people frequent competitions and other events like them. About 2 years ago...
I like what the FAME Allstars Super Seniors have done with their routine this year. At .41 of the video and at about 1:50 through the rest of the sequence. I'm sure that there are so many others but this one stuck out in my mind because I saw it live and it was a pleasure to watch. This video is...
Ditto... The show is not about All Star Cheer it is about Cheer Mom's who are way too full of themselves and it makes All Star Cheer look bad. Let's hope the show goes away for good!
I agree but I do understand the kids looking forward to the competition. I get the feeling there will be a lot of parents who will be pulling their hair out this weekend because their CP's competition was cancelled and therefore they will be driving their Parents crazy.."I'm bored"...."There's...
Based on the information I have been seeing on the news this is likely a good decision. The weather from PA heading North and East looks like it's going to be pretty bad and even though everyone would like to compete it is not worth the safety of everyone involved in the competition, from judges...
My daughter has had a similar issue with the knots in her lower back, they were so bad that you could see and feel where they were when she lifted her shirt. She did not drag her leg because of them but she was unable to tumble. We took her to our chiropractor for some treatment and also took...
