    OT Artistic Gymnastics

    I have been thinking a lot about this and this is my take: I feel alot of people are upset/dissapointed/ angry with Simone because of a mentality that a lot of sport/life has is that you do it for the team. The way I see it is that people think that because you are part of the team you do...

    All-Star Alcohol/drugs At Worlds

    I have never been at the level for worlds but when I cheered especially university cheer we 1 week prior to a comp no drinking so no one would be a practice hungover or still drunk from the night before. On allstar on a senior team mixed with adults and teens we knew our expectation. I never...

    All-Star Alcohol/drugs At Worlds

    Before I believe this I would like to see it from USASF either posted on the website or tweeted by them. I dont have an issue as such but what for whatever reason you are over 21 and are finished competing on day 1 and will not take the matt does that mean you cannot drink any alcohol at all...

    All-Star New Uniforms 2018-2019

    Bear in mind that there are other gyms around there that could cater to boys better. I am lead to belive as I no longer cheer that there are only a small amount and believe or not tend to be older and are snatched up by other programs

    All-Star 2018 - 2019 Teams

    One opinion that I have coming from the UK is that not having any concessions at worlds and competitng with the best teams has pushed the standard of cheer at all levels to a point where some teams are level with US teams in terms of difficulty and execution. To put in perspective 4 years age...

    All-Star Crimson Heat Athletes Penalized For Attending Worlds?

    This is a state school in the UK. In the uk most schools don't have a number of unexcused absences. In this case the rule for going to prom is that they must have 100% attendance unless the absence is excused. The school is only allowing one trip to worlds in a school career. The pupils affected...

For big height by the...

    All-Star It's Happening All Over; Not Just In Cheerleading

    I hate that sports including cheer are just pricing everyone out. In the UK just three years ago as long as worked hard in practice and went to an inclusive tumbling class it was fine. There were no privates offered at most gyms. Uniforms were cheap and apparel was normally a couple of t-shirts...

    All-Star Stunt Stands/base Equipment For Classes

    I have never been a flyer but have been thinking maybe resistance bands? So they can work on stretching but have some resistance to help with strength of holding stretch. You can get these gym balls but they are cut in half and have a platform for balance would be great for general core work...
