A flyer cannot fly successfully without the people underneath her. So, it is quite interesting that so many people have the view that flying is perceived (by most) as being some form of superior position. In addition, they amount of time and effort that goes into learning to be a good flyer is...
Exactly! It is only fair that teams be scored and awarded appropriately for their routines. On the flip side of this, it would not be appropriate to tell a team that has already been notified that they will be moving on that since an error was made they are now out. IMO, USASF is doing the...
I totally agree with this. In many instances, children do not want to disappoint their coaches, team, nor director by showing that they are unhappy with placements. They also fear that they will be treated in an ill manner if they show that they are unhappy. So, they walk into the gym or...
Congrats to Lady Jags! This is a perfect example that every team within the top 10 can possibly take home the gold. So much talent in every division! No one team is a sure bet. Looking forward to tonight's competition. It should be well worth the wait.
I suppose the timing of prom is different based upon your regional location. For us, here in the south, from the beginning of April until the end of April is peak prom season. Many girls on my daughter's team have made the decision to miss their proms as a gesture of dedication to the team...
One athlete can't win a competition on his own. It has to be a team effort. I would hope that no one was questioning for the purpose of stating that Holden would "win" your medium coed a paid bid. I think most people were just curious.

I'm sorry! You are sadly mistaken. On Stingrays Junior 4 team, there were absolutely no crossovers. Every single girl who competed at The Summit with that team was a member of that team the entire season. There were no squatters.
As a parent and educator, it is often difficult to hover in the "middle". Depending upon the situation and the effect it has on a child, gravitating to one side or the other may be necessary.
It is extremely important, in my opinion, that adults take the initiative to positively affect the...
My daughter cheers on a team that generally wins 1st place,which means her team was not particularly excited at NCA Nationals when they were announced as the 2nd place team. The other team had a handful of girls who taunted them because they had unseated the defending champion, etc. I totally...
My cp has the Nfinity Passion. We were told by an Nfinity rep to only wash them via the dishwasher and to never, ever place them in the dryer; however, I'm sure if you wash them on delicate or the hand wash cycle, a washing machine will be fine. I would just be extremely cautious.
