I coached mini one for a couple years and I loved all the sweetness that came from the girls, but getting them to listen was a challenge. For me the thing I found worked best when I wanted to give them an instruction was to bring them in and have them stand close in front of you so that they...

When I was in grade 10, a couple of girls boyfriends joined, two guys joined on dares, a few more who were friends came out to try it and before we knew it we had a coed team with 11 boys... The most fun we had with it was our first comp of the season we had all the boys go out and get the crowd...

There have been many times when a song comes on the radio and I start singing along, just to realize I'm adding in voive overs and sound effects from people's routines :confused: and my other favorite is when you start marking a sequence while walking without noticing it...

In my opinion the way the coach looks represents the program. As a coach on day 1 we wear our club t shirt and dark wash jeans, on day 2 we get dressed up and somewhere in our outfit we have to include the same blue as our kids uniforms. So for me I generally wear a blue shirt and high...

The biggest thing for me as a coach is to come to practice with a plan. For me it's not set to an exact time, but I know what skills I want to work. I find if I give myself exact times for everything I restrict my kids for by either stopping them when they really have a groove going (like when...

By far my favorite thing that we do as a team is the "full team snow angel", if you hit your whole routine once you finish you get to lay on your back on the floor and snow angel :) so before we all go out on the floor we all encourage each other by yelling full team snow angel! I guess it...

I have lucky socks, were supposed to wear low white ankle socks, mine are grey polka dotted and most of the time I am able to hid them from my coach. Oh and as gross as it is I have to wear the same socks both days. My other big one is I have to walk out on the floor holding my best friends...

It could be that you have some bad glue, maybe try a different one. Because a thin layer of glue is a must for not clumpy application

On weekends our teams are required to wear the certain shorts, shirt and a bow. During the week though, you can wear anything you want. I love this because everyone wears shirts from comps, team shirts they've made (my gym is huge on fabric paint and getting creative :p) and shirts from other...

Some of the best tumblers are the weakest bases, sometimes the girl with the best jumps can't perform at all... A team needs every athlete because everyone brings a a different skill set to the team

Anyone who knows cheerleading knows it's way harder to continue a routine when things don't go perfect, and a stunt is harder to keep up when it doesn't hit just right, if anything I have way more respect for this team, that group and that flyer because fight like that is what cheerleading is...

I think they are super sassy and girlie, and I love how they look. Straight hair is much easier and in general, it is easier to have a full teams hair look the same straight in comparison to curly. As well I have somehow been named the team hair dresser, at worlds this year I curled 5 different...

I feel like they either look great or terrible. It's all about shape and cut, and if they flatter the majority of the girls on the team, but I guess that gossip for almost any uniform. Personally though I would not be comfortable in a white uniform. Ps how had would bright red lipstick be to get...

Is the problem that the glitter gets everywhere, well all under her eyes? Because I have found that if she lays on her back while you apply the glitter that can really help, or using athletic tape lightly touched to the skin to pick up the loose glitter helps too.

The first/main stunt is always one of my fav, I love seeing how a team can get creative and push the limits of their level. Level two is a surprisingly awesome division to watch for that. But my absolute favorite is the dance. I love feeling the energy coming off a team while they dance after...

Prayers from Vancouver, stay strong

They came to Sea to Sky ( a vancouver comp) a couple years ago and I was completely blown away by them. I have never seen so many people stay to watch one team at a local comp like that. They were awesome

Definitely one of my favorites.... I like voiceovers which are confident, but not cocky. I find there is a fine line between the two and some teams cross it and I find it just gives that team a negative reputation.

When girls at comps wear their uniform and uggs.. I understand wanting to be comfortable, but that's just tacky

I love the lines of a taller top girl, they seem more elegant and are just pretty. What I don't like seeing are the itty bitty top girls who are only staying in the air because they weigh next to nothing and their bases and back spot are strong enough to just keep her in the air.
