Aside from raw talent, what separates the elites from the rest is what's going on between the ears.

Bottom line. Once it no longer is no fun, it's time to get out. Otherwise you're wasting your money,

As for 'fast tracking' thru the system, I don't think that's a given at WC since many of the Twinkles and Lites wind up on the other Senior teams

Making another worlds team other than the WCSS is no slight to any athlete since teams like the Suns and Odyssey have had good worlds runs with Odyssey medaling once and Suns in the medal after day 1 a couple years ago and were ahead of the Panthers and finished in 4th in a tough and larger...

:D

It would be fair that it should be that way for high school and college but being there are so many schools and money is needed to generate interest and the ability to hold these events, more potential champions are created from multiple divisions to give more teams a chance to win some sort of...

The higher the level, the higher the weeding out process. Goes with the territory with all sports. I suppose college cheer is also more about having that "it" factor that goes beyond the skills needed in all-star cheer to cheer at the highest level. I'm no expert here but it sounds like some of...

Unfortunately, in today's world, it has come to this. Everybody has to win to make them feel adequate. A long time ago, my 9 yr old son once got a participation trophy for baseball and asked me what it was for since his team didn't win any league championships and were a .500 team that year and...

As a former cheer dad I know just about every term there is in cheer. I have a good idea of all the levels of cheer when I watch a routine and have a good idea of the skills involved in each level. Not so much on the technical side but I have a good idea just from being around it a long time...

Bottom line...Anything below Level 5 has the potential of sandbagging.

It's pretty much the same as why the MLB World Series is televised all over the world while the MiLB World Series or Championship series isn't. Because it's Level 5. The best of the best in All-Star cheer. If TV wants to reach an audience outside of the cheer world, they are going to televise an...

Not that it really matters but it sounds like SR 5 is really a Level 4.5 and level 4.2 should really be called Level 2.4. Level 5 should mean level 5 skills and anything short of it should be a lower level. For example, there are AAA minor league ballplayers who at that level have the most of...

The only legitimate way to do this thru a "call up", not a crossover. The crossover must move up a level to replace an athlete, not down. Sure it will weaken the upper level team skill wise but that's what happens when teams lose key players on the roster. Then you do callups of the top rated...

The Summit should really take place before Worlds, not after. The final tournament should end with the highest level tournament. In baseball, the season ends with the World Series, not the minor league championships. While all those minor leaguers and sub-5 level athletes work every bit as hard...

Everything is driven by money.

From all the tournaments I've been to or seen, the split divisions seem to only be done from levels 1-4. I suspect the reason split divisions are done to produce more champions at the lower levels. There's really no rhyme or reason to split a diviision if the purpose is to crown a national...

Since competitive cheerleaders are fine tuned athletes and tend to stay in top physical shape, maybe the cheerleaders should be "mentoring" Lohan instead of the other way around.

Yes. Them too. That is a bit surprising its a big nationals with at least another Y5 team to compete with. The Suns not being there a bit more surprising with paid bids on the line

Where were the WC Suns? Little surprising they were'nt there considering the other L5 teams from WC were there and this being one pf the big tourneys. This seemed. To be a tournament where they wouldve done well and could've gotten a paid bid

I say Senior Medium All-Girl.
