I am not here to agree or disagree with your statement, what I wrote were my observations of a situation. I just remembered the difficulties I had in introducing this sport to talented boys because of the "gay" perception. When I listened to those boys on TVCC talk, there could be other ways...

I excitedly watched Cheer 2 this week, just finished watching the whole season, I actually skipped the Jerry episode and watched it last, I wanted to see Angel Rice, Jaden Rice, Dee Joseph, etc… I was excited, but at the same time disappointed with the focus solely on cheering, I wondered why no...

I have to admit, I really enjoyed watching the over the top celebration by the coaches and I concluded(my over analytical mind) that these coaches were excited that their athletes had a breakthrough and hit a difficult routine, probably, their practices the athletes missed more than succeeded...

Yes, I remembered that year... I got into an argument with a Mom on my daughter's team the following year about the leather jackets (only level 5 winners, I was told!) given out in 2014 and in 2015 they gave out hoodies only.(to everyone, due to the backlashed of the jackets 2014, I heard) It...

Hey, I have to admit, when my daughter backspot on a Youth team it was common for these girls to be already 5'6 and taller, big youth kids, but all of these girls turned 12 after the age cut off of Aug. 31st. My daughter was made to feel bad and accused of cheating, but for these youth teams it...

I only wish that AS offer more opportunities after they age off... I always wondered if there were some form of college recruitment and/or professional opportunities the sport will have some tangible returns... Why can Worlds be set up as a scholarship opportunity, the winners win some money for...

I definitely agree with your statements... My daughter quit AS after winning NCA - 3 times, UCA multiple times and accumulated umpteen jackets, she never cared to go to Summit and lost interest in the sport before reaching Worlds, I tip my hat to athletes I met in the AS world that maintained...

I have to also add, my daughter is a Jr too and she pretty much quit all of her extracurricular activities to fully commit to her schoolwork and grades... So she quit cheer, basketball, track, but she is still playing volleyball because it has a fall season only.... So quitting to focus on...

Actually, I think everything you mentioned should help you decide... I will read over your post and read it as if a stranger wrote it and then decide.... If your motivation for doing Allstar was fun and now the gym's motivation has changed, you should QUIT! If your grades are suffering because...

Alright, good luck to your cp and a successful cheer season... Btw, I am still going to see her on my TV... Yes!

What I recalled at age 8-9, my daughter was on a J1 team and practiced 2 days a week for 2 hours, she had the same schedule on Youth 2, but her 1st year cheering(8yo), she crossover to a Mini team, she practice with this team for 1 day for 1.5 hrs per week and I believe this team practice 2 days...

Sometimes I give a bypass to these young athletes who lives have been socially isolated and experienced little freedom. Example of this, everybody equating Simone's maturity level to her chronological age (21), but these young athletes are emotionally stunted and they are behaving no different...

I definitely agree with your words, hence the reason why I mentioned a gym like CJA with Team Gunz and even, Bombshells earned an opportunity, unless they turned the invite down... I am wondering, what criteria used to decide who invited?

Major, why not extend an invite to any or all of the CJA teams? Add some more variety in your program...Thank you!

@FlexiDani, I will be the first to tell you, go for your dreams and passion, NOW! I think the worse thing in life is to have the desire to do something and not do it and years later (10+ years) sitting around talking about how you wish you shoulda, coulda, woulda cheer and have regrets... YOLO...

Wow, why the secrecy? The gym owners must be on the board of Varsity? The nerve of this gym to expect people to cough up money but not treat their customer fairly...

After thinking about this X-Small division convo, I think this is exactly what it is just an added division and it is no different from being placed in a Sm, Med. Or Large division. I think I was just confuse by the rule that states a gym with a level 5 team already cannot enter this...

@CheerBank, I agree with everything she said and she has given you good advice... All I wanted to add, as an athlete and her age, your cp is not too young to know what she wants to do and is in a better position to decide if she wants to accept a L1 position or sit out and train on her...

Why not write it on a piece a paper the name of the team caotain and post it on the gym door... Simple! PS: Eventually, you are going to run out of fun creative ways to announce team captains and I suggest maybe keeping it simple or jusr redo the fun ways you've done already in the past!

@quitthedrama I may have miscommunicated my ideas in terms of cheating allegation, sorry if I offended anyone with my early morning rants... I really thought that if CJA Bombshells competed the whole cheer season as XS and always maintained a squad of 14/15 athletes, they should have competed as...
