    High School New To Flying Advice

    My CP made her high school JV team this year. She cheered allstar for two years and middle school one year. She has never been a flyer as there were always smaller girls on allstar and middle school teams. However she had a really good chance to fly on her JV team. She is 4'11 and very light...

    Private Lessons

    My CP asked to drop out of her tumbling class and have a private once a week. She was already having privates so this didn't add any thing to her already busy schedule. She got a tumbling block and she finds being able to focus on just what she needs to focus on better for her. The class tends...

    All-Star Cheering With An Injury

    I think that once competition season is under way she will have a change of heart. Her missing choreography and then hurting her arm created a perfect storm. She has never been a patient person. She is also doing school cheer and I think she really didn't realize how cheer could take over her...

    All-Star Cheering With An Injury

    I told her not to do it because if she had just left the soft cast alone she would probably be healed by now. She has now not tumbled in over a month! She was just so looking forward to be an active participant in the routine. It killed her that now she's basically doing nothing. She is talking...

    All-Star Cheering With An Injury

    My CP hurt her wrist when her flyer fell on it. She stopped her tumbling classes because she was smart enough to know not to tumble. However she kept trying to stunt on her team because she knew she would most likely be given nothing to do in the routine if she sat out. She would unwrap her soft...

    High School New High School Uniforms 2014-2015

    My CP's middle school uniform is 8 years old. The school gives them out at the beginning of the season and they turn them in after the last basketball game. They have removeable sleeves for cold weather. I had to sew up the skirt, and sew on a button because the uniforms are so old. My cp's...

    Nfinity Defiance: Yay Or Nay?

    I bought these a size larger than my CP's other shoes, she says they are a little too big. I recommend going up half a size. She normally wears a 5.5, i got her 6.5 but should have done 6. They are very light weight and she thinks they are really comfy.

    All-Star Privates

    I actually asked her if she wanted me to watch and she said "yes, You motivate me to want to do It" so I must be doing something right. I tried to get her team coach to work with her but she never responded to my attempts to contact her, which also leads to my frustration.

    All-Star Privates

    Its just frustrating. She can do ROBHS with no problem. Shes not afraid to try a RO 2BHS , just the one single standing BHS has her all crazy. I just want her to TRY to do it on her own. I don't want to continue to pay for privates and she just gets spotted EVERY SINGLE TIME. For weeks and...

    All-Star Privates

    I really like that approach. Sometimes I want to scream at the coach "She can do it, don't spot her" My CP said she asked her team coach (also the gym owner) if he could step in to spot her if she looked like she would fall. He said he couldn't do that, it was either be spotted or not at all

    All-Star Privates

    No he spots her, its just that he feels she is ready to throw it. He thinks she is too dependent on him spotting her. When he says she has to do it on her own she refuses. He has tried everything to get her to throw it. She has done it before, she fell once and i guess is afraid of getting hurt...

    All-Star Privates

    My CP does privates once a week ($25 per 1/2 hour) Her coach is one of her tumbling coaches and she lovs him too death. She is having a mental block on her SBHS. Do you think it would help to have her take a private with another coach, maybe one of her team coaches? I don't want her regular...

    All-Star Practice Wear: Is It Necessary?

    Our gym only has practice wear for certain teams. My CP's team is not on one of those teams. They did give us the option of buying it if it wasn't mandatory. My CP said she didn't feel like she had "earned" the right to wear it if it wasn't mandatory.

    Parents : How Do You Feel About "obeying"younger Coaches/directors

    All my kids coaches are younger than I am and I consider them to be the experts. As long as you treat the parents with respect you should be just fine.

    Mental Block Help?

    when she has her private the gym has maybe 5 people in it. This week some of her friends were there and I think that freaked her out a little. Her friend was also in a private at the exact same time and they are both working on the exact same thing. Their coaches also try to have them compete...

    Mental Block Help?

    She has had it, she threw it for tryouts. but her tumbling coaches usually spot her on it during class.Its when they back away and tell her to do it herself that she freezes.

    Mental Block Help?

    my CP is having a huge problem with her standing BHS. She has her ROBHS and can do a 100 BHS as long as she has a spot. But when it gets time to do one on her own she refuses. She feel once while throwing it and is scared of getting hurt. She has privates and her coach says she can throw it and...
