I know that you don't need a backwalkover to do a frontwalkover, but it did help me get mine faster when I was learning. Also stretch your shoulders a lot. Mine would look weird sometimes because I have poor shoulder flexibility. If you are having a hard time with getting all the way over to a...
Warm up rooms basically set my mood for the competition. If warm ups are well run and we are given a reasonable time on each station then I feel more confident going into the performance, but if the mats are in poor condition or we aren't given what could be considered a reasonable time to warm...
I helped coach a tiny team the last 2 years and formation wise we used stars with their names on it for the main formation. We would tell them to go to their star. We used getting a turn on the tumble track and a stamp as a reward for good behavior during practice. Don't stay on one thing for...
At my old gym, technique either wasn't really stressed, or was stressed but they didn't do anything tohelp us fix it. So when I got to my new gym, my tumbling seemed really bad, because I had terrible technique. I had to start with fixing my roundoff and my handstand. If you do not have good...

-hearing the crowd scream when you hit something
-hitting everything and then getting to your pyramid and just yelling for everyone to stick it
-dancing your heart out after...
I am at my second gym and I still wear clothes from my old gym. They are my clothes that I paid for so I don't think it would be right for them to say that you can't wear them. I understand the rules about not wanting you to make clothes with the gym's logo unless given permission, but you...
last season i bought a clear one that i wore at competitons. it was very small so it wasnt noticable. if you can take it out then i suggest doing so, but if you have to have something in it still, i suggest the clear ones. i found mine at hot topic.
I am still working on my standing tuck, for a while now, but it's getting better. And I am soo close to my HSHS layout!! I was working really hard on it at class today :) I am also working on my running fulls
I just switched to a different gym this season and my old gym just got new uniforms last season. So I sol mine to help pay for cheerleading this season. I wish I could have kept it because I loved that uniform and it was part of a great season, but since I have to pay for all of my cheerleading...
