    All-Star No Bows

    Our pom girls have a slicked side bun with a small fascinator sort of thing. I love it SO much more than the quiff and bow we have. I think it looks much cleaner.

    Nail Polish

    We wear polish (Australian L5 AG) - never had an issue and love how it looks against the uniform.

    All-Star Cheer Hair Thread

    On the subject of cheer hair - invest in a good detangler! This is just ten minutes with a comb at the De Lorenzo "The Ends" product! :fro:

    All-Star Cheer Hair Thread

    Texas cheer hair is one of the reasons I cut over half this mop off... Too hard basket teasing and curling for every comp!

    All-Star "big Cheer Hair"... Halp?!

    So this year my squad has decided on (kill me) the "higher than your bow" teased and curled pony for comps. My hair currently touches my tailbone when it's down and in a high pony comes to my mid back/bra strap kind of area - any other girls with long hair had to do this? Tips would be so...

    All-Star Your Worst Cheerleading Injury?

    So today I'm a positive little bean because after two months I'm free from my post surgery splint and have had the all clear that I will definitely be able to return to cheer after my rehab program is finished... Yay me! Haha. :) Which brings me to the point of this post, I was really curious...

    Cheer Moms Wearing Cheer Bows.

    I think Mums and Dads who dress up are super cute! I'm 23 though so my parents don't come to a lot of my competitions, but I love seeing other cheer parents dressed up like proud team supporters :)

    All-Star Special Needs Cheer In Australia

    He was so fantastic to watch! I hope Dave knows what an inspiration he is :)

    The 'catch The Flyer At All Costs' Mentality. Realistic?

    I'm an all-girl back, so can't give anything from a flyer's perspective... But I've had some less than stellar bases so I tend to be a major stunt hog. I've injured myself a lot saving my flyers and I really don't care whose fault it is, at the end of the day it's really your number one job to...

    Hey All! First Competition (ever) Coming Up At Age 21!

    Straddle V snaps, straddle leg lifts, squats and lunges - they'll kill you but they're fantastic for jumps. Core and quad strength is super important for jump height and form so make sure you're working those muscles as much as you can, and doing both passive and dynamic stretching exercises...

    All-Star Worlds Info Packet

    As an Australian cheerleader, I really don't see the issue with the attempt to discourage excessive celebrating. I was really shocked to watch people from the audience rushing onto the mat to pick up athletes and some girls just laying on top of each other on the floor for so long at Worlds. It...

    Most Hated Stunt?

    Backing an unwind to teddy... I snapped my UCL on this stunt last month and now I cringe watching anyone do this! Pretty much my least favourite stunt ever.

    All-Star Lower Back Pain Anyone?

    Sounds like you're on the ball with your CP's management, but just a bit of advice from an old hat at back problems :) most injuries carry with them inflammation and swelling, it's best to ice the tender area for the first 24/48 hours and then apply heat packs as needed. Never heat directly...

    All-Star 2012-2013 Age Grid For Worlds Teams

    I know it seems like a silly thing, but it does do a lot for legitimising the sport and making it seem more professional. I've attended elite level dance and gymnastics competitions where your studio/team can be deducted uniform points off the mat from the time you arrive. We had some fantastic...

    All-Star Fierceboard Section- Worlds 2012

    I'm a newbie, but I am still super excited to come sit in the Fierceboard Section! I'm travelling all the way from Australia to come watch :)

    All-Star Only Seniors Can Expose Midriff???

    Out of all the changes, this one I really don't care much about to be honest. It just seems pretty commonsense to bring it in line with the image standards of age appropriate dress. It's always been implied, now it's just being enforced.
