Absolutely try out again. As a coach. I can tell you that it is the cheerleaders who don't give up in situations like the one you face now that stand out during a second tryout. Although there will be athletes whose tumbling may come easier to them than to you, by showing up to tryout again...
I love this! I hope you don't mind that I use it. These are things I explain all the time, but I think writing it out for the kids and having them sign as their "stunting contract" will make them really think about the rules more and feel more of a sense of responsibly.
Where are you looking to compete and in what division? Every company has different guidelines that overlay the general rules. I learned the hard way last year at NCA HS Nationals when one of my teams received a deduction for a pyramid release that was only braced on one side. We had competed...
I just wanted to say thank you for making such a beautiful bow for a wonderful cause. I received mine back in March and have it hanging in my car. It reminds me every time I drive to practice how precious all the kids are that I coach and always keeps things in perspective for me. I have been...
I was recording the awards to send to everyone on Stealth and they cut it!!! I was so bummed. They brought back the feed and Phoenix was still up on the podium, so I at least got some footage. They should fire whoever was pushing that buttom though LOL
Connection lost in the middle of Cali's routine?! I have had my live feed running all day and never touched it and it goes out then? I must have been a bad person in a past life or something. Geez LOL
It cut out at the pyramid. Can anyone fill me in?
Get this one...I was on USASF's Facebook page complaining about the server issue they are having and USASF is now deleting anyone's comments on their page that talk about any issues with VOD or Livestream. This is only going to make people more angry. What a professional way to handle...
My fiancé who is a super tech nerd (gotta love him because he set up my live feed to stream to all our TVs since I had surgery Thursday and couldn't make it to Worlds) just tested USASF's site and apparently the company USASF is using for their streaming service is what is causing the issue...
Check it out! Huge congrats to Michael May Mr May and all the talented coaches and athletes that are a part of the Stealth family. There is nothing better for our sport than to have people outside of our world respect and try to understand what we do. These articles are a series of articles...
Hi Everyone!
I am the Head Coach at Foothill High School in Santa Ana, CA. We have four teams (JV Game, JV Comp: Small Novice, Varsity Game, and Varsity Comp: Super Varsity Intermediate). The program was not competing before I started coaching at the school almost 5 years ago. The first...
I cheered at Los Al and girls I coached on youth teams while I was still cheering at Los Al are now on Varsity and won last year, so I'm rooting for them. Go Griffins! ❤
Also, I should add that I have separate "game teams" and "comp teams" at the high school I coach at. This helps out the allstar kids a lot because if they choose to only participate on the comp teams, then they don't have the additional time requirements of cheering at games. I have a good...
I have girls on the high school teams I coach who also compete on allstar teams at a couple local gyms. I am very supportive of the girls doing both programs as I think each offers unique experiences the other does not. I also have my high school teams practice two days a week (outside our...
So, I am still really new to posting, but thought I would weigh in since I have been a customer of Yella Ribbon as well. My experience was quite different though. This is my second season ordering bows for them (LOTS of bows with LOTS of rhinestones...my addiction :)) and both times I ordered...
I have coached and judged many high school tryouts and I have found that the easiest, most efficient way to score tryout canidates is by having 5 categories (running tumbling/standing tumbling, stunting, dance, cheer, and jumps). For each category, I put a space for the judges to put either +...
