    All-Star Covid-19 / Varsity Response

    I’m in Canada (Ontario) and we’re in the red zone and one step away from lockdown in my region. Other areas are in different zones ranging from green to Lockdown. Our gyms are open in red but we have to wear masks at all times in the gym. Kids even practice in them. No mask no entrance into the...

    All-Star Well Now What Are We Are We Supposed To Talk About.

    That’s still not an accurate example. Let’s compare apples to apples. Soccer still only has one country per team and cheer has tons of teams. If that’s the case then only one team per country should advance and a round robin of competitions should be held. I highly doubt the US teams would be...

    All-Star Well Now What Are We Are We Supposed To Talk About.

    Easy solution...then don’t call it Worlds! Call it something else. For a world event to be truly a Worlds level event it needs representation from around the world. Otherwise it’s just a glorified National championship.

    All-Star Well Now What Are We Are We Supposed To Talk About.

    I can see both sides in the argument, and being Canadian I tend to see it from the international side but with ICU cheer growing and the addition of the open and NT divisions, the need for the 3 per country is slowly going away. ICU cheer ensures that the best of a country is represented, just...

    All-Star Well Now What Are We Are We Supposed To Talk About.

    Cheer Canada also made comment on the two issues with the bronze placements for two other divisions (IO Global and IO5.0). They released a statement today about the bronze debacle. Worlds was a bit of a gong show and now IASF is having their feet held to the fire. ETA: it was just emailed out...

    All-Star Well Now What Are We Are We Supposed To Talk About.

    The fact the three countries have brought in lawyers and it has the backing from Cheer Canada means this won’t be slinking off anytime soon. Good for them!

    All-Star How Much Do Other Sports Cost Compared To Cheer?

    I’ve got two daughters in competitive sports. My oldest plays rep softball and we just dropped $300 on her bat, another $150 for her glove plus we dropped $100 for a bag in the summer. That doesn’t include pitching clinics, rep fees, team fees, batting clinics, camps, travel fees, uniforms (she...

    All-Star Concussion??

    Another vote for a concussion specialist. When CP had hers she never even hit her head. She fell in a stunt and landed on her tailbone and snapped her head back and sustained whiplash. The force of her head going back and hitting nothing was enough to cause the concussion. Her symptoms didn’t...

    All-Star Please Tell Me I Am Wrong

    Our PT said it needs to be done every season because the brain develops. Our Worlds athletes have it covered in their fees but not for lower levels. So we have it done and it gets covered through our insurance.

    All-Star New Changes - Divisions For Worlds

    There are so many comments about it not belonging at worlds but could that decision be based on the international travel that’s required? We need to stop thinking in terms of North America and start thinking globally. Expecting international athletes to travel to Florida multiple times in a...

    All-Star Team Parent/parent Committee

    At our gym we have a large team parent program, with each team having a team mom or dad assigned to it. Their roles include being the team administrator, communicator, event planner, etc. The gym has somebody who communicates weekly to all of the team parents through a weekly newsletter and then...

    All-Star Your/your Cp's Tryout Goals For 2018/2019?

    I love hearing about awesome short bases. This is encouraging. When I say she’s short I mean she’s short! She’s the smallest on her team but she makes up for it in strength and personality. She just turned 9 and she’s all of 4’1” and maybe 50lbs soaking wet but she’s strong. Our gym has some...

    All-Star Your/your Cp's Tryout Goals For 2018/2019?

    Thanks! That’s encouraging to hear. I’ll have to go looking for some videos to show her.

    All-Star Your/your Cp's Tryout Goals For 2018/2019?

    That’s exciting @littlestALLSTAR!!!! Goals for CP include no injuries or concussions and to work through her fear of flying that she developed as a result of her bad stunt fall this season and sustained whiplash and a concussion and lost a month of school in December. I think she’ll be on Y2...

    All-Star Worst Comp. Moments Ever!!!

    I know each position has its injuries. It was more so a tongue-in-cheek comment since so many parents want their kids to fly and I’d rather my kid base. ;)

    All-Star Worst Comp. Moments Ever!!!

    Hmm...let’s see. CP had her front tooth knocked out in warm ups, on the plus side it was already a bit lose. I found out after she got off the floor and smiled at me. She looked like a hockey player who had just been roughed up with blood around her mouth!!! There was also the time where she...

    All-Star Cheer Hangover Remedies

    I swear by wearing ear plugs and drinking lots of water. It's amazing how loud sounds affect the body.

    All-Star Communication

    For some reason people fear over communicating and as result they communicate less. 90% of conflicts stem from poor communication and assumptions. Being proactive rather than reactive will reduce the chance of a conflict. So get the information out there and have it in multiple places. If...
