    All-Star 23-24 Proposed Open Age Grid Changes & Division Changes

    Finally some accountability and action here. It's pretty obvious there's minor/adult abuse in our industry right now and this is a step I couldn't agree more with. I see this bringing back more true senior teams here, which isn't a bad thing. Open teams should be for legal-aged, consenting...

    All-Star General 22-23 Season Announcements: Teams/Divisions, New Locations, Mergers, Closures etc.

    Back in the day, I was on UA's IOC team that final year when things went downhill... I know IL cheer drama is crazy but I'm happy to see the name come back! I really hope the new owners do the name justice. We all got screwed by Craig, but UA itself was a fabulous program.

    All-Star Worlds Predictions 2021

    Ahhh I see. That makes sense. And I obviously didn't want to take a spot from a parent/sister athlete. Guess I'll be watching virtual this year too. Thanks!

    All-Star Worlds Predictions 2021

    Anyone know the spectator restrictions? I'm in Clearwater and usually drive over to watch; but figured this year has restrictions? I did a quick check on the site but didn't see anything... but it was a quick scan and maybe missed it. Someone one here's got to know!

    All-Star Robert Scianna Arrest For Soliciting Minor.

    Also the fact that he's held without bond, to me, generally means either this is just the beginning of a number of crimes and/or they think he is a major flight risk.

    All-Star Robert Scianna Arrest For Soliciting Minor.

    I've commented this before, but I will say it again. This is exactly the reason for the age grid to change. Open teams should be 18+. There’s no reason a 14 year old should be on a team with a 27 year old. Not saying that’s what happened here at all but it opens the door for predators when we...

    All-Star 2020-2021 Uniform Reveals

    Geeze, my first reaction to this is how much it resembles lingerie. Maybe if it was less lace and the top was a bit higher cut my first impression wouldn't be as bad? I really miss those clean uniform days. Still had the sparkle and glam but just more of an athletic cut. Or maybe I'm just...

    All-Star Covid-19 / Varsity Response

    Just went to our first competition this past weekend. My gym is in Florida. Here are my observations as a coach - the good, bad and ugly. Positive: Spectators- It was basically cheer on speed. Spectators were not allowed inside the venue until 15 minutes before their team competed...

    All-Star Covid-19 / Varsity Response

    Wow. What a terrifying scenario. And not out of reach to happen here, in all honesty.

    All-Star Covid-19 / Varsity Response

    Completely agree. The bid took priority over safety. Meanwhile the gym is still open, mats are being moved outside and staff continues to not wear masks. Time has proven if you give someone an inch they will take a mile.

    All-Star Covid-19 / Varsity Response

    A team for the gym I coach at went to ATL this past weekend to compete. 2 teams (not scheduled to compete) in our gym had covid cases prior to the competition. The team competing had a covid case, competed, and then officially announced the case today... It's the recklessness that makes me...

    All-Star Covid-19 / Varsity Response

    Interesting. Varsity already getting some press for moving a comp up to avoid the indoor sports ban in NJ. Cheerleading show moved to beat indoor sports ban was irresponsible, Murphy says

    All-Star Covid-19 / Varsity Response

    It shouldn't! I live in FL but my family resides in Wisconsin & I have quite a few nurse friends there still. We are discussing if I should even travel to their WI home for Thanksgiving this year due to how bad it is in there. Children's hospitals are being converted to covid care centers...

    All-Star More Negative Publicity & Athlete Safety

    And another one from USA today. Cheer empire: a for-profit company created cheerleading regulators, pays salaries

    All-Star More Negative Publicity & Athlete Safety

    An investigate piece came out this morning on USA today. It's a incriminating article given all of the negative publicity cheer has been getting lately. Personally I believe our industry needs to step up and take responsibility for this. It certainly paints cheer in a bad light and I'm not...

    Sigh. You're absolutely correct.

    All-Star Plans For Next Season

    Honestly I think my biggest argument is that traditional gyms are easily able to maintain social distance. You can be an independent gym goer using only one piece of equipment at a time. Most, if not all, gym members are adults or young adults who actively understand the situation we're in and...

    All-Star Plans For Next Season

    Has anyone else's gyms started opening? I'm in Florida and our Governor has tightened his stance on what is and isn't being opened in the phases. Starting Monday we enter phase one with restaurants and stores opening at 25 percent capacity. No bars, gyms and hair/beauty service salons may be...
