    For Parents Hey Parents... Introduce Yourself!

    I’m late but that should be a surprise to no one. I’m not super active anymore but my “Droplet” was quite literally raised on Fierceboard and my tribe of lifelong cheer friends who have kept me alive for 11 seasons of this nonsense 😉 was formed here. We started our cheer life in the Midwest but...

    All-Star 2021 Worlds - Day 2 Discussion

    She was on Beatles (and crush etc etc for years before that) last season but I am in school in Raleigh now so it necessitated a move for 20-21.

    All-Star 2021 Worlds - Day 2 Discussion

    I just now saw this, but thank you! Hard to believe the same little cartwheeling mini creature that brought me to this board so many years ago is now a 15yo world champ! :cloud9:

    All-Star How Is A 12 Y/o On Wildcats?

    We had four wonderful seasons at CEA and have all the love in the world for the program and coaches, but Droplet is a Rockstar Beatle now. :cloud9:

    All-Star How Is A 12 Y/o On Wildcats?

    Yep, season 9 has us giving up a 7 minute commute for a 3 hour one. I think the rules say year 3 is peak crazy parent year but I’ve always considered myself a trendsetter. ;)

    All-Star How Is A 12 Y/o On Wildcats?

    My 13 year old is on an open team. ‍♀️ Her teammates are all older than her and she probably won’t be having sleepovers but then again we live 3 hours from the gym so I’m not sure that’s a consideration anyway lol. I’d prefer her on a more age appropriate team i suppose, but we’ve been at this...

    All-Star Home Schooling For Cheer

    The short answer is, because varsity. Droplet isn’t even on a worlds team and also not in HS yet, but the amount of school absolutely unavoidably required by serious travel teams sometimes forces the issue because of very strict school district rules on absences. In my case, Drop homeschools...

    All-Star No Competition At Competitions?

    There were very few, if any, that didn’t cross. We were already going for R5. Ive always told Drop I’ve felt like that year she went and collected the ring they should have earned the year before when they took summit away from them. They were unstoppable that season, but they disbanded the team...

    All-Star No Competition At Competitions?

    Yep. Droplet earned a summit ring in 2017 simply for showing up in FL. Unfortunately the gym chose not to take them the year before that when they would have had competition and were undefeated!

    All-Star Jamfest/the Majors 2019

    That’s my girl! Still can’t believe it. 24 hours on a bus round trip to do majors and also come back home to compete at a very important charity competition in Charlotte in the same weekend, but I would not trade the experience or the people on the journey with us for anything. My 13 year old is...

    All-Star What Should A Nugget Do During Practice?

    My professional stunt nugget usually goes to the “small gym” (other floor) and tumbles with the other nuggets during stunting if she isn’t needed to spot coed stunts or doesn’t have tumbling worked into the stunt counts. She gets told to, but I’d assume if she didn’t she would ask. Definitely...

    All-Star Your/your Cp's Tryout Goals For 2018/2019?

    Everything happens for a reason. I’m glad she’ll get her chance this year and can’t wait to watch her shine!

    All-Star Your/your Cp's Tryout Goals For 2018/2019?

    Thank you! Girl I have no idea. I just show up and pay the bills and try not to cry in priority at competitions. Not sure how many we had at practice last night even, but we have some in the process of moving here still and one or two returners I know even that had school obligations so your...

    All-Star Your/your Cp's Tryout Goals For 2018/2019?

    Droplet met her tryout goal! She had the honor of finishing the 17-18 season with a trip to worlds with Coed Elite and she found out at teal reveal that she will get to be on coed for the whole season this year! She’s pretty pumped about that, and also for the chance to do some basing on Crush...

    All-Star Tryout Process

    Ok so.. as for people being upset at group reveals... it does happen, but I will say that people generally know before teal reveal for the most part where they will be and what kind of team it is based on the callback groups. The speculation that goes on after those are posted is WILD! I love...

    All-Star Tryout Process

    Cheer Extrene Kernersville does 2 weeks after summit of free tryout clinics for all interested athletes. Last week they were Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, this week they are Monday through Thursday. They are tumbling clinics. On Saturday the 19th we will have 3 age groups (I think 10&u...

    All-Star Worlds 2018 Favorite Moments

    My personal favorite, selfish, unashamed favorite moment of worlds was watching lil Drop take that mat for the first time. Could not have predicted we’d end up at worlds this year if I had the best crystal ball on the market but when they called and asked her to step up to the plate 6 weeks ago...

    All-Star It Is That Time Of Year...tryouts!

    All-Star Gi Pros

    Lol at the Olympic thing giving us recognition as a sport. I spent 30 years of my life dedicating myself to an Olympic event most people will never consider a sport. That doesn’t help. Almost 100% of our funding is internal in some way as well.

    All-Star Not Going To Summit

    This will be our fourth consecutive summit. I sincerely hope it is our last. Droplet got a ring last year which is great.. but I have never managed to become a fan of it in the years we have gone and now with the addition of Thursday and Friday as competition days for the international teams, we...
