Amid the insanity - we've had to close our gym. We don't want the kids to completely forget what cheer is while they're off, so we're attempting some 'creative coaching' techniques so they at least continue thinking about cheer and their teammates while they're gone.
Does anyone have any...
So, I haven't been able to find documentation on this anywhere. Are coaches/owners to pick up athlete passes? This is our first year attending D2 and parents are asking if THEY can pick of their athlete's badges since the coaches are getting there later than athletes.
IMO, parents and athletes...
Thank god for you all. I was worried it was just my feed. Although, maybe it would be better if it was.
I NEED TO SEE SOMETHING OTHER THAN BLACK DIAMOND'S DANCE.
Hi @MightyGirl'sMom !
There is a definite possibility that your daughter is on a full year team and will not tumble at all. Scoring changed this year and now only 60% of the athletes need to tumble for the team to max out. Many teams will be hitting at exactly 60% and using their most...
A similar policy was implemented in our gym last year. The kids had a hard time with the transition, they weren't thrilled we couldn't be 'friends' anymore. But, it helped remind them we aren't 'friends', we're their coaches. Everyone adjusted and survived.
In general, this policy is great...
I have some serious SAFETY concerns with the IASF NT L5 division in general.
In my cheer career I've definitely seen some Open teams that are unsafe. Bare with me here for a minute. I assume/hope these are mostly adults continuing their cheer career for the love of the sport. These athletes may...
In addition to all of these wonderful moments everyone has already mentioned:
- The athlete from MD Twisters Reign coming back out and competing on day 2 after an injury and WORKING IT.
- Both Smoed and Reckless taking the gold. Eddie and Orby have to be living on a total cheer high!
Such a...
Nike DID make a black cheerleading sneaker - Nike Musique IV. You can search around and see if you can find them in black and the size that you need.
Also - Varsity has these available for $75...closer to $40, but still not exactly what you're looking for. They claim to be dance sneakers, but...
So, I just went onto IASF's website and attempted to fill out the form to receive a copy of the rules (because...curiosity) However, when I got to the bottom it requires you to select if you're a US or non-U.S. based member of the All-Star community.
When I selected U.S., it directed me back to...
Curious to see how this would affect worlds teams...
If we're thinking teams in the U.S would be following the USASF rules for 'local' competitions and international teams are going to be following the IASF rules for their local competitions...then do we have a large conflict around worlds time...
I had a hands on exam this year as well along with two other coaches in my gym. We were all asked the same questions, but each proctor seemed to require different levels of explanation on the skills. I'll be interested in seeing if or how they're able to standardize that!
I definitely get...
