I told my wife recently that I'm about ready to buy some. She had never heard of them, but she's a Hoka girl. Weekends at comps my feet are absolutely dying and I need some comfort!
Me! But I doubt I'll be near UCA. My daughter decided she's had enough cheering so unless they get in a bind and neeeeeeeed her on the mat, we'll just be on vacation since it's been booked for a while.
When I was coaching our rule, without exception, was if a coach thinks a cheerleader exhibiting concussion-like symptoms the cheerleader will first see the athletic trainer for eval. If the trainer agrees, then they are not permitted to return until cleared by both their personal physician AND...
The confusion lies in the difference in wording from the Varsity deductions vs the USASF deduction. Varsity's specifically states that both feet must contact outside the floor and border. The USASF version is rather vague and probably needs to be addressed to make it more specific to what does...
Depends on why the school is closing probably. Closing because a new one was built to replace, everything gets moved. Closing and not being replaced, jerseys, equipment, uniforms, etc. either auctioned, sold, or given away depending on circumstances, school board, local governance, etc. If...
It'll be interesting to see the scores of some of those limited teams and compare them to their "normal" divisions to see how they would have done without the limited division.

I watch basically curling, because I freaking love that sport, and speed skating since it's what I grew up doing. Unfortunately I worked during most of the speed skating events and didn't see much of it. I need to watch the replays yet because after my wife sent me a result without a spoiler...
Let's just over emphasize this one. Really. Remember when the mistake happens, CP is going to think about it for the entire remainder of the routine, talk about it with the team/coach immediately after and sometimes have the video replay as soon as they're off the floor. Then they're going to...
I'm out of the all star parent game. I'm now a college cheer parent and I'm approaching it so much more differently. Some of these things I learned the hard way on.
1. Be the parent. Not the coach. You pay people a lot of money to coach your kid. Be the support they need, on good days...
These are the listed CEMs. Try emailing them. Most of the staff is probably on site already or traveling in today so it may be hard to get anyone super quickly.

Honestly it's a relationship between the high school coaches and the all star coaches that lets us all survive that silliness. It happens a decent amount, and game schedules are all over the place. We will 100% excuse an AS cheerleader for practices during a comp week, with the understanding...
Athletes fortunately have shortcuts they get to take backstage. So time and distance is less a factor for them. Still a big building a plenty of walking room from warm ups to performance halls, but at least there's shortcuts. Also to be fair, I haven't been to Cheersport in a couple years, I...
Without knowing the layout of the event this year, like what divisions are in what halls, yes it can be a lot of walking. Like a 20-30 minute walk sometimes because of the distance and how many people are in one space and the crowd can only move so fast......also that 20 minute walk...you might...
As an all-star dad and high school coach I could write you a book on this one.
Preparation: very dependent on the HS program and how they place athletes. Do they take everyone, are freshman only allowed on JV, do they teach the tryout material or have clinics, etc. So that's honestly a...
I work for a non-profit planning fundraisers as part of their development team. Most NPs only require a bachelors degree and a lot are flexible on that even. Event planning and constituent engagement experience matters more. While my events have income targets, most of my role currently is...
