We are in Kansas and from what I can tell we possibly fall under phase 2 as organized sports. But it's no more than 30 individuals allowed and still 6 feet distance. My daughter's last Zoom meeting with her coach/gym owner was before the governor had the plan but the girls were told our gym will...

We have a gym in town who has always said they will cap at the number for D2.

Our owner has said they will not be grandfathering in so she's planning on building teams around the changes so that kids won't have to bump back down (with our gym and teams that would mean bumping down a level). It's also a new uniform year for us and she doesn't want anyone buying a crop when...

This is interesting.... every single stp hotel we've ever stayed at is way more expensive than if we booked through Expedia or the hotel directly. For example, the hotel we were supposed to stay at for Indianapolis was $150 a night. The day we booked it we also looked it up on other sites and it...

What level are aerials allowed in? Same question for front handsprings.... I've seen aerials only a few times in a routine from our higher levels and have never seen a front handspring, but a few of our mini 1 girls (in advanced level 2 tumbling) are learning both so I was curious.

No advice but our gym requires kids to learn all skills on both legs. In my cps tumbling pass last year (m1) she had to do her "bad leg bwo at some point because otherwise she had to switch the foot position when she came up from whatever the skill was before the bwo (can't remember). She's a...

Yes lol she has all required level 1 skills for the last year. She was finally moved up to level 2 tumbling with drills even though in her private (at the gym) she's past that. Trust me, we have some INSANE parents on our team. Tryouts were tonight and.....wow. I'm totally fine with my kiddo...

At our gym, our owner is big on kids progressing safely and being on age-appropriate teams. My daughter is going into her fourth season and will still be on a level 1 team (most likely mini). She started the summer before kindergarten on a tiny team. Gained all level 1 skills and had a bhs on a...

LOL we have those moms. As for me, I'm praying my mini will stay mini this season because the next she will age out and that means riding the bus and staying for the entire competition. She'll do fine with that; I'm not sure I will though lol!

Co is working on her standing bus and robhs during privates, as well as a Valdez. She does not practice her bus at home, but the last month or so she's started to sit really low (almost to the ground) when she sets for a standing bus without a spot in the gym. She's one of those kiddos who gets...

My CP is only a mini but her FAVORITE flyer is one of the tallest kids on the team! This girl is all legs and muscle, and according to my CP (who weighs just as much as her flyer) she's the lightest flyer she bases because she's so tight and not afraid. CP also bases the smallest girl on the...

I'd love to see the chart; is it easily found on their website?

I teach second graders and it's much more powerful for me to praise the ones doing well than punish the ones off task. I use an app called class dojo and students earn points throughout the day. Sometimes if they are all talking, I give a random point to myself (they don't know I have myself set...

This is interesting to me; I have a kiddo on a mini 1 (third year of cheer) and will probably be on mini 1 again next year. I just let the coaches coach so never know what scores well or anything but her current pass is a 2 step fwo, round off turn, fwo, cartwheel, bwo. I think between the...

We were probably at that same comp ( I see you're from Kansas). Our gym owner used to not accept WC's but she told our teams last year that those are just as much as an honor these days as at-large and paids. Our second comp of the year was the only one we've been to that have passed out WC's...

This is something our gym owner takes very seriously; our senior athletes MUST be covered in a t-shirt the minute they get back to their seats.

Ah I'm sad to hear he got hurt! Our gym LOVED seeing him in person!!

My kiddo is still on a mini 1,so not many skills yet but she's ambidextrous and she tumbled on different legs for different skills. Her gym requires them to have all skills on both legs (cp calls them her good and bad leg lol) and it didn't make sense until this year when they gave her a...

Every year I tell myself I just need to get one of these things.....our gym requires teased curls. I normally just use curlformers because literally the only two things I can do with hair is straighten it and put it in a ponytail. I've also noticed that any of the companies making the hairpieces...
