I don't know where you're from in Australia but there is already a club called Royal All Stars in Melbourne so I would avoid Royal or Royalty... and for those who've been suggesting Columbia blue, black and white, guess what their colours are :P
If you're after the older shoes save a search on ebay and just keep an eye on the notifications, it took me like a year of tracking but I got brand new Passions and Phoenixes that way and they only ran me around $60 each!
I think they probably just didn't think there would be so many stunts! Even having to qualify from States there were SO many entries, and then the schedule had 1 minute per performance and didn't allow for any changeovers, so it was always going to run late... I think at one stage they were...
You can consult a physical therapist who can look at any injuries you may be carrying too and show you how to tape to give you the particular support you need, you don't have to go to them on an ongoing basis! You may need to rest them for a while if it's bad, too, and the PT can advise you on...
FitNFierce sells them (though they seem to be out of stock at the moment), or a lot of gyms/programs do, mostly with their logos embroidered though. Looks like AVW sells them too Australian Volleyball Warehouse - Nfinity Backpack
We stretch before practice, but I've seen a bunch of research that says that static stretching before activity is actually bad, reduces strength and actually makes athletes more vulnerable to injury during the actual activity - apparently you should warm up with dynamic stretches for the same...
I grew up not in sport, but in music, and I see a lot of parallels here. At music competitions, you're nominally competing against other people, but in reality you're competing against yourself - you want to do your best, you're not directly against someone else, and if you do your best and...
USPS Priority Mail International offers some tracking, First Class International doesn't (well, it shows you it's been lodged usually, but nothing more than that). I think priority would be sufficient for most customers, and you can get flat rate boxes/envelopes to send things in that clothes...
I'm glad there was no bullying going on and I didn't mean to imply that you would let something like that go. However, I still have an issue with the way this was portrayed in the show - while it may have been a great bonding experience for the boys, the way that it was shown in the episode...
I don't know if I was the only one, but I felt really uncomfortable watching this episode. I get that it was all supposed to be "in fun", but Travis said he didn't want a buzz, and the other boys went ahead and shaved his head anyway... To me there's a clear lack of consent that makes it...
I liked the bow when I first saw it by itself (and I LOVE it on the back of the uniform), but seeing it on an athlete it looks a little over-the-top to me. That said, they're young girls and as long as THEY love it and it makes them feel princessy, that's what counts!
It sounds horrifying but at the same time I'd love to see it on Toddlers & Tiaras or something... I'm imagining a beautiful trainwreck that would make me weep tears of destructive emotion.
