Capital Cheer lost a wonderful cheer star in CJ!! He was patient, encouraging, a truly great coach. RIP CJ...you will be missed.

Whatever strategy for selecting team leaders and the title you give them, you may want to first write down 1) characteristics you require in said leader (GPA, evidence of other leadership skills, etc??), AND 2) your expectation of those leaders once selected (call cheers, communicate to others...

Free or reduced practice time or free open gym would be a great gift. Tiffaninicole's suggestion of a free clinic is great! Most rec-leagues don't have money to pay extra fees. I direct a rec-league program myself, and have tried to negotiate free gym time in one of the nearby allstar gyms but...

Anyone know results of colleges? I'm wondering about Christopher Newport University? Thanks!! Lee Franconia Cheer

When u schedule college visits/tours, also schedule a meeting with the cheer coach (allowing time to get from one activity to the next), or ask to observe a practice. Meeting the coach before tryouts definitely influenced my daughter's decision on where she wanted to tryout since she would be...

Aren't they the best!!! My daughter cheered at Dynasty too. They sold the gym, but couldn't stay way completely from cheer LOL

If driving to FAME, you also pass USA Allstars in Stafford. However, if truly staying in No VA, another small gym in the city of Alexandria is Afficial Allstarz (not far from Hot Topic). Depending on your athlete's desire for a larger well known gym, or more intimate setting, there's plenty to...

As most on this board know, MANY people do not think any form of cheerleading is a sport. To get respect, you have to give it. Who knows where a connection btwn an apparel company + the DCC + allstar cheer, might lead for an athlete. Any opportunity to expose people to our sport should be...

Your daughter's college will likely have info about how club leaders are determined. Most club sports get no school funding, rely on fundraising, may not have a certified coach, and do not get priority (if allowed at all) with gym/facility use. That's where some keen networking skills will be...

This is a great topic and hopefully industry professionals and HBCU athletes will give some insight. Virginia State University "Woo Woo Girls" are highly regarded in the world of HBCU cheer, but as you noted the style is not "traditional." Another great program is Clark Atlanta Univ.....their...

Va Tech, James Madison Univ & NC State all have club cheer teams that compete nationally (to name a few). Try to reach out to their club organizers if you simply want info about competing at the college level. As stated in previous reply, it's best to contact the school directly to inquire about...

Good luck and safe travels to all involved with Cheersport!! The Fierce Board App! || iPhone || Android

Tumbling mental blocks are terrible!!! My cp managed hers but it was always an uphill battle. No amount of "if you're going to be a cheerleader, you have to tumble" helped. The only positive from it is that she totally overcompensated with other skills. She was determined to be a beast at base...

An app called Skilz On Demand is a great resource to have at your fingertips on a tablet or smartphone. Esp if u don't have a signal at your practice location. Most components of the app are relatively inexpensive (approx $3). Very clear instruction on the mechanics of a stunt The Fierce Board...

IMO Games...no. Competitions....I like some glitter on or around the eyes when on the mat. But we will not go overboard on red lipstick or dark eyes on our 6 yr olds The Fierce Board App! || iPhone || Android

I have access to both iPhone and android...u are correct, Android is quite different unless there are shortcuts i don't know about. Click on the Fierceboard "F" at the very top...Forums (gray column)...Fierceboard...select your topic (most chats are under Cheerleading). Don't select Fierce...

4.2 is a great option for limited tumbling skills, HS, and late allstar participants. Infinity's 4.2 squad (Fairfax VA) Dark Matter is a great example of the potential at 4.2 level. I've learned as a coach to meet people where they're at, and 4.2 is a perfect fit for many athletes!! The Fierce...
