I haven’t logged onto here in forever and am pretty far removed from cheer, but someone texted me about this today so I came here to see what’s going on. I think people would be shocked at just how many coaches/gym owners drink with their underage athletes. I know of several at many gyms - big...
Stopping the routine probably isn't entirely up to USASF. At most competitions, it's up to the coaches. Not sure if it's the same at Worlds but I assume it is. I busted and broke my neck on the floor at one of the triple crown competitions one year (don't want to say which one bc don't want to...
I'm too lazy to read through this whole thing (I made it through the first 30 pages though). Someone mentioned they thought CA & Twisters were the two that did not want to redo large finals... I heard from a reliable source that F5 coaches & Shooting Stars coaches were both against the idea of...
When I filled in on a level 3, the last tumbler did round off rebound punch front pause round off back handspring tuck. You do the round off then, in the rebound, you ball up slightly and half turn. When your feet hit the ground, you punch front. It looks really sloppy if not executed correctly...
Now that I'm two years out of my cheerleading career, it's all become a lot less significant. Instead of being in on the drama, I typically sit back and watch. After Worlds, social media blew up with teams complaining about their placements. I remember being that athlete. Bitter that my hard...
The gym I cheered at used crossovers heavily. I crossed over to senior 3 once and it was a wreck. The girls were incredibly mean to me because my team was more successful & got more attention. I had been on that team the year before & I think they were very bitter that I had gotten moved up...
This isn't cheer related but my dad was driving my 9 year old sister and Centuries by Fall Out Boy came on the radio. She was in the back singing along and thought it said "Remember me, I have to peeeeee!!"
I was really looking forward to seeing who would win best practicewear this year.... I guess they realized it was *gasp* a stupid award???
Anyways, I'll just leave this here...
I'm a little embarrassed to admit how much energy I just put into this. And I could have put a lot more in (I was going to watch videos and see how well certain teams do on day 1 vs. day 2) but I was trying to hold onto the little dignity I have left...
