I’m surprised at how small Forsyth is. It seems they lost three teams from last season. No level 3 team? Why the move from JC?
Also Marietta seems to have less teams. No Red Y2? No Spice S5?
CP started cheering again after taking a break. She's a base and likes it. I have not been following what's going on, just trying to catch up. I'm glad the rules are changing. No one wants to see their kid do nothing and it seems like it will be less likely now!
Wow almost no senior teams. The higher junior age plus international even higher by 1 year) really killed the senior divisions. I really wish the junior max age could be lowered back down and international could be got rid of.
Yeah. Jayhawks Grayson location did the best and I think they lost most of the gym to Star. I think they had just one team this season, Blaze J1 I think. Duluth is still open but doesn’t usually do that well.
Star Athletics outside of Atlanta location did really good in their first season. I’d probably take my kid there if it wasn’t almost an hour away and our current gym 7 mins.
I don’t even know how much “performance” counts for right now... Should a team with high level skills well executed win over a sloppy team with good energy, sass and some smiles? No.
But if 2 teams are pretty much the same, then I think the team that’s more fun to watch should win.
Watching...
I’m torn. I can see both sides of this. But I’m leaning towards performance should count, at least for some points.
It’s not just about smiling. It’s about being sassy, showing energy, looking like you enjoy being on the mat. Maybe I’m slightly partial bc this stuff comes naturally to my CP.
This is true. It might have been a mistake to raise the senior min age. Should have kept it at 10 to make it easier on the bases.
For my CP, she has based here and there and has usually been more successful with smaller flyers. The weight does make a difference.
In her early days she was tiny...
My CP is 12. She’s too big to fly. With the old junior top age of 14 she would probably have had more chance of basing. Now with a lot of 15-16-17 year olds she is not in most of the stunts. She is basing in the pyr though so getting some basing practice. The flyers are around 10 I think.
This...
There's a travel ban right now because of covid so I don't think there will be any international teams.

Why still no schedule or block schedule for Summit? Will it definitely go ahead in person? It's hard to try to plan any fun when you have no idea when your child is competing.
I don't think we're going to Disney parks this time. Might go to Universal. Where can I buy ESPN tickets for me & lil sis?
I think that’s because they raised the normal Jr division top age as well. I really miss the old Jr with max age 14. The jr teams look more like sr teams now and there are so few Sr teams. I wonder if they’ll consider switching it back. They can stay with birth year but it needs to be lowered by...
