Thank you! I had four girls that had never cheered before, so they were a little rough. It drove me batty.

Thank you! I think most of my front spots had a reason for being there, but we are done for this year. Next year half of my girls will be different, they are older and stronger. I am excited to work with them.

Thanks for the reply. We did okay on points for the call backs. We only have one set of poms and they are ancient. We've done signs in the past, but then I worry about them picking them up and stuff, plus I'm not super good at the crafty stuff and I would have to make them. I will check out...

Do you have a link to the clip? I want something like that for our competition next year.

I still have not been able to get a copy of my score sheet from my Cheer Director, but I do have a copy of the blank shore sheets. These are my scoresheet: Dropbox - Score Sheet.pdf And my deduction sheet: Dropbox - Deductions.pdf Also, I have found the following rules information that we were...

I ordered myself the NFHS Spirit rules book. The one I was given was from 2008. These are my scoresheet: Dropbox - Score Sheet.pdf And my deduction sheet: Dropbox - Deductions.pdf

The handbook is exactly what I am looking for in regards to our tumbling points and I'm guessing that someone, somewhere has that information, but I cannot get it! It is obviously not what is being used for our league, because we had only cartwheels as a whole squad and front walkovers for 3...

I have no budget. We are not given any money to spend on music. In the past I had a dad that was a dj that made the mixes for me, this year, I begged my BIL who is a musician to help. I had 42 seconds for my first stunt portion and 1 minute even for my second dance portion. We usually do...

A few of the wonderful people helped me with this one as our Half-Time cheer this year, you are welcome to use it entirely or change it up. I thought it was a lot of fun and the girls loved it. Welcome to the Maverick Show We're shooting for the stars Roll out that red carpet The win will be...

That is fantastic and made me tear up and I don't even know this team.

My cheer director acts like I am a total PITA when I ask questions at all. She is a volunteer, so there isn't much I can do. I think I will scan the blank score sheet and deduction sheet they gave me and post those tomorrow.

Thank you! I swear, I have no idea how to utilize this information. None of my old head coaches really seemed worried about scoring and/or legality, but had all cheered previously. I have not, so some of this is just jibberish to me. We missed placing by one point this year and I don't want...

There is a lot of information about what is not allowed, but not a lot of guidance as to how points are awarded. I was told at the end of our last competition that if I had one back handspring we would have rec'd 8 points instead of 7. The judging seems really random to me, but it might just...

I'm down a little south of you in Monee, but I would say if you could get flyers into the schools that would be great. You need to call the school districts around you and see what they will let you do. If you could do an open house or a mini-camp for people to get to know you that would be...

Great job, Megan!

Thanks! I am working with the organization to get a tumbling workshop next year. Plus, I'm going to take my daughter to a place and if we like it, I will recommend to my parents. We cannot do more comps. That is set by the organization and it is not going to change.

Thanks. Our kids don't even have PE in school anymore, they lost it due to budget cuts, so some of them can't even do a proper jumping jack. It's sad! We didn't have the skill for the flash this year, but I am hoping next year I will. We move up a level to Varsity which is 7th and 8th...

My cheer director hasn't scanned the score sheet and sent it to me. Also, I have no idea what the rules are, which is aggravating. I have a Spirit rules book, but it just discusses what stunts are legal. My director said that if we had one back handspring we would have scored an 8 in...

Hi there! I am a Head Coach for a Rec team that is 10/11 year old girls. My squad had 12 girls this year with four that had never cheered. We came in 4th at competition, apparently missing 3rd by one point. We only scored a 7 in tumbling and 8/8.5 in just about everything else. I am hoping...

If you have the ability to do the stunt, our coaches with stunt experience will sub into each spot in the group and show the base how their job should be done. She asks them if they felt the difference and did it seem better. Also, can one of the groups that is properly working swap flyers for...
