    Release Or Not?

    Is this a release to an inversion even though she grabs one of her original 3 bases and maintains contact the whole time?

    Is This Inversion Legal For Level 4?

    The flyer grabs her back spot by the hands before she inverts which is a part of her original 3 bases so is this technically not a release stunt? Release Move: When the base(s) and top person become free of contact with each other and the top person comes back to the original set of bases...

    Is This Inversion Legal For Level 4?

    Sorry I'm over tired and under caffeinated so the portion of that rule that this breaks is the first sentence correct release moves may not land in an inversion? The flyer grabs her back spot by the hands before she inverts which is a part of her original 3 bases so is this technically not a...

    USASF says pyramid inversions must be in continuous motion wondering if this breaks that rule. Thanks!

    Do I Have To Stretch Every Single Day To Get Really Flexible?

    I get suuuuper bored stretching and I know my girls do too. Does anyone have any at least semi interesting stretching routine? There's probs already been a post about this but I can't find it.

    Getting Back Into Cheerleading

    It kinda depends on what you were doing while you took the time. I took a year off in college to focus on my studies and didn't take care of myself, didn't work out hardly at all. Getting back into the swing of things was rough. The best thing you can do for yourself is condition and get your...

    High School Captains

    Ok this is just my opinion, but doesn't it suck not to be able to really celebrate someone being an outstanding candidate and getting captain and being super excited that they're going to do a really good job just because other girls might be disappointed? This is one of my personal vendettas...

    University Of Wisconsin Madison Cheerleading Club Info Meeting And Tryouts!

    I saw you say something about your friend at a club in Madison in one post and I wanted to say something but I thought it'd be out of place in that thread lol. Yes Dani is amazing! I coach Red Squad and she's on Black. And I know she and I can't wait for a new season!

    All-Star Ruby Slipper Full Up Grip

    So, for cross legged, the main has the foot, secondary has ankles (?) and backspot has the seat. Sorry, I know people have been through this but some people think they're talking about the same thing but people have slightly different ways of doing it.

    All-Star Teams Who Do Their Pyramid Last

    From an athlete's point of view, does anyone prefer ending in a dance or a pyramid? I coach a club team and we flip flop each year based on what the girls prefer. I personally like ending in a dance when I'm performing, but I like ending in pyramids when I'm watching the routine, it's a bigger...

    Coaching Styles

    It sounds like from these post the best coach is a mix. I try to be extremely supportive at all times but when we have a performance coming up I push a little extra which I think only plays into their nervs about performing. I'm a volunteer coach for a university club team for the non...

    Too Late To Tumble?

    These are all amazing tips and affirmations. I'm 23 and starting my first beginners tumbling lessons this summer. I am anxious, excited, and nervous. It's intimidating to go in with absolutely no background, but we're cheerleaders we go into new stunts and routines with our nfinities tied tight...

    Really Quick (and Dumb) Question

    Makes sense! Immediately after I posted it I thought about it and was like yeah that's probably what it is. Thanks again @Ren !

    Really Quick (and Dumb) Question

    What is a "downward inversion"? If you're inverted aren't you already facing downward? So what's the difference between an inversion and a downward inversion. Sorry, I come from low level rec cheer and the vernacular isn't always the same. I warned you it was dumb.
