    All-Star Proactive Or Reactive With School Missed For Cheer?

    Well it's there, it's documented, and people pass every year whether you choose to believe it or not. I have missed many an individual class and full days and have still passed my classes will flying colours. I don't know what region you live in or what grade you're in, but I'd suggest finding...

    All-Star Proactive Or Reactive With School Missed For Cheer?

    This is probably why we have the 110 hour requirement, literacy is an important skill we all must learn. "...must be scheduled for at least the same number of hours as the number of hours required for any one of the related curriculum courses..." This part of the sentence means that Co-op...

    All-Star Proactive Or Reactive With School Missed For Cheer?

    I ended up editing my post with a better source but I think I saved before you saw it. "A cooperative education course, which includes both a classroom component and a placement component, must be scheduled for at least the same number of hours as the number of hours required for any one of the...

    All-Star Proactive Or Reactive With School Missed For Cheer?

    I believe it depends on the school, the school that my family member goes to classes are roughly 75 minutes each

    " In Ontario, a high school credit requires 110 hours of instruction." "A cooperative education course, which includes both a classroom component and a placement component, must be scheduled for at least the same number of hours as the number of hours required for any one of the related...

    All-Star Proactive Or Reactive With School Missed For Cheer?

    That is not entirely true actually. Each province has their own number. For example, just a few months ago in some Ontario school districts (not sure if it's district wide or province wide) student attendance hours were bumped to 110 hours due to the high school strike that happened. Which means...

    High School Scared To Do Highschool Cheer.

    Thank you so much for your insight. I'm probably not going to quit just yet and it helps to hear input from someone who is doing highschool cheer right now. :)

    High School Scared To Do Highschool Cheer.

    Thank you so much this actually helped me a lot and I think I'll try it and see how I like it. I might be too busy with homework to do it anyway aside from my other concerns. Plus, one of my favourite coaches are coaching us and I talked to her yesterday and after that conversation I know that...

    High School Scared To Do Highschool Cheer.

    I tried out because I do all star and my friend talked me into it. And I want to fly- I have an arm injury so I can't base anyway- but I don't want drama to come out of it. They call me a flyer, but first you have to throw.

    Thanks for the reply :) it's nice to hear that there are some great high school cheer girls out there. They call me a flyer, but first you have to throw.

    High School Scared To Do Highschool Cheer.

    Mostly cause there are a few experienced all star girls, and a lot of inexperienced girls who went to try out for the popularity you generally see on movies. At try outs we were jumping and the girl next to me kept kicking me and I had to repeatedly tell her to move up which granted me some...

    High School Scared To Do Highschool Cheer.

    Just wanted to say that my phone cut off the bottom half of the message and won't let me edit it so if there's something that's confusing because it's spelled wrong I can correct if for you or something since my phone won't let me edit it. They call me a flyer, but first you have to throw.

    High School Scared To Do Highschool Cheer.

    I'm a freshman and I just got onto my high school cheerleading team but I'm a little afraid to go through with it. Aside from it being time consuming and expensive, I'm not a fan of all the the drama. I feel like at the gym, even if you and your teammates disagree, you're still some sort of...

    All-Star Summer / Early Fall Attendance Policies

    Differently in the sense that they get gym certified adult coaches whereas we get teenagers on higher levels who need to get their volunteer hours in. (Which I kind of get-giving higher levels better coaching). But also because they're stricter with removing athletes from the level 3+ teams. I...

    All-Star Summer / Early Fall Attendance Policies

    Personally I think it depends on how the gym is structured. Where i go you have one mandatory practice each week in the summer and two optional practice days (the days of training in all) but with our team we focused on more individual skills during the summer.For example at mine over the...

    All-Star Cheer Pet Peeves

    When (in All-Star) non-committed athletes join the competitive team for the title and 'popularity' when really they only want to do the work of a rec team. Then they hardly show up for practice and when they do they don't work- wasting my money since it's a team sport. And when the smallest...

    All-Star Team Punishment?

    I don't know if this will change your opinion or anything but at my gym we alternate between team and individual punishment. For example, if someone wasn't listening during jumps and ended up just standing there because they didn't know what to do from not listening our coaches would call them...

    High School Experience changing differences between high school and all star?

    Thanks for the replies. :) my biggest thing is whether I'm going to learn anything in highschool that will help me with all-star like tumbling. People here say to take tumbling classes for people who want to try out for HS but do most school provide them or am I going to have to go out and pay...

    Base smaller than flyer?

    I had the same problem on my team except the girl weighed a lot more than I do. Don't let that stop you but lift weights to build your strength up. No one told me to actively build up my strength and now I can hardly lift anything. So if your arms hurt or anything don't be afraid to ask for a...
