My CP's team 3 years in a row did a Holiday bonding party. Both years the gifts were socks, because all of the kids love the crazy socks. The first year and last year were secret Santa types where each girl drew a name from a bucket. That worked out really well because they were able to...
I personally won't allow my CP (who is 11 and pretty well developed already) to be in just a sports bra. I prefer the tighter tank and spanx. The tank is preferred so she doesn't have her shirt flying over her head when tumbling. Plus the shorts are like the uni shorts so they have to learn to...
Yes. The move is still happening. As a matter of fact, we should be starting there when practice starts up... or at least that's what they have told us. It's going to be an AMAZING new facility!
Anyone heading to this competition this weekend in Daytona Beach? My CP is excited to be going back. She loved this one 2 years ago and is excited because most of the girls on her team have never been (most are new to All-Star).
As a mom of one of your teammates, here's my advice and thoughts... For starters, please think about how this might make the other girls feel. You're basically saying your stuck with kids you think you're skills are better than. There were a bunch of younger girls who had skills to move to level...
As for cheer shoes, it depends on your CP's skill level. A level 1 or 2 CP doesn't need $90 Nfinity shoes. Once they start getting higher tumbling skills, go for the lighter, more expensive shoes. I bout my level 1 (almost 2) CP a pair of converse cheer shoes for $16 from omnicheer. As for bows...
Thou shalt take into consideration the ages/social maturity level of the athletes before putting 9, 10, 11 year olds on a Jr team with 13 & 14 year olds... Way different social level there and there will be tears throughout the season.
Thou shalt warn all parents and athletes about posting...
IMO what hurt Worlds' attendance on the final day was the COST FACTOR. If someone wanted to take their CP to watch all day of Monday's final rounds, it would have cost them $260 just to get in, never mind the cost of food and drinks and stuff there. Greed is what is hurting the Worlds...
And THAT is why The Summit is a necessary competition! Those kids obviously busted their butts all season and deserved the opportunity to compete against other teams with skills and dedication similar to theirs. My CP is a Y1 athlete and only going into her third season (and is rhythmically...
Our gym has an unspoken rule that athletes supporting their fellow gym members are required to sit/ kneel on the floor in front and stay down so the parents of the performing athletes can see their kids.
CheerSport was a definite experience. On Sunday, our Y1 girls were in warm-ups and one of our flyers lost her balance going into a back walkover and broke her arm. Our girls we AMAZING!! After just hearing and seeing their friend and teammate break her arm, they pulled it together, rearranged...
