We had the Kaepas a few years ago. They look really unattractive on the foot. The area where they arch is didn’t fit closely and almost bulged out from the foot.
I would look at the Varsity shoes too. We have had several pairs that have held up well. The Nikes tend to be heavy.

Yeah, we absolutely aren't practicing enough and probably won't. The girls were told at camp that only 12 of them would be competing. Then, they were not told who was picked and think the routine may have been changed for all 16 of them.
I asked about adding practices and got a "possibly". I...
The school should have the books. Our coach isn't allowed to write checks out of the account. Everything goes through the financial person at the school and the checks come from the school. All goods and services need an invoice or a purchase order. This has been true at two schools in...
I will agree that this isn't acceptable. Our school doesn't work like this. We each get billed individually for things. It all goes into the cheer account, but everyone is responsible for their own stuff. There could be instances where someone can't pay, but the team never hears about it.

I'm just south of you. ;) Five coaches in three years is about what we have had. We are only not allowed to practice the last week in June and the first week in July. I know our principal would be fine with washing his hands of the cheer program and his daughter used to cheer!
The cheer...
It just ended. First practice back today. They mostly worked their stunts but the coach didn't pay enough attention at camp to know if they were doing them right. My cp talked to most of the girls and no one wants to compete--mainly because they feel like they won't be prepared.
We had camp at the end of May. We haven't practiced since. We have three public schools where we can use the gyms and a small, private university that has a gym we have used in the past. Our coach didn't reserve the gym. We had camp in an unairconditioned gym for the same reason.
We are...
The all star forum thread got me curious. How often do your teams practice? How long are your practices? When is/was camp and/or choreography? What is your policy on missing summer practices?
We are having issues again, shocking, I know. I am so glad my child is a senior and this is it. I...
Just a little confused, flexing the foot and pointing the toe are opposite actions.
I don't know about the sole of the shoe, but the thinner it is, the easier it will be to point her toes. I would have her wear them to practice continuously until the shoes are broken in. Then, wear them for at...
