    High School Legal Or Illegal?

    For sure. When we showed it to the kids, they were like "Look at that hang time! You were floating for an entire second!" And I imagined my largest guy tossing my littlest flyer into oblivion. It's probably for the best. lol. :p

    High School Legal Or Illegal?

    Just got a response from my state board, “Hello Rebecca - This skill is ILLEGAL as performed in the video. This would be considered an inversion because he is lifting her weight off of the performing surface, then releasing her to the performing surface. The skill violates Rules 3.3.6a...

    High School Legal Or Illegal?

    I e-mailed our state's governing cheer org (WACPC) at their cheer rules clarification email, and haven't gotten a response as of yet (sent the e-mail a week ago). So hopefully I get a response soon! :) Thanks for letting me know that it's at least been competed before!

    Okay, I changed the format. It should be visible now.

    High School Legal Or Illegal?

    I'm trying to figure out if this trick (not sure if it qualifies as a skill) is illegal or legal at the high school level. Can anyone help me out?

    All-Star New Uniforms 2017-2018 Season

    I LOVE both of the little ones' unis, although I feel like the accents on the chest sit way better on the 1st uniform in comparison to the way the Tiny's fit. Then I saw Spirit Zone.... There is just way too much happening with this uniform. I don't know where to begin.

    High School Big Program Changes, Looking For Advice!

    I posted this is in the coaches room and it didn't seem to get much traction, so I thought I'd try here! I am one of 3 coaches at the high school I graduated from. In the 4 years I was there as a student, we have never competed with more than 10 girls. We had our first "open gym" where we let...

    I Want To Be Tumbling (well) For At Least 5 More Years...

    Looking for some assistance with building my strength back up for tumbling. I'm at the ripe old age of 25 and cheered all through middle school, high school and then co-ed in college. Tumbled the entire time, and while I still technically have the same skills I had back then I've been...

    Arm Motions

    Also, the girls shudder at the words "boot camp" when it comes to the dances we do. When I "boot camp" a dance, that means we are going through count-by-count and we are not going to move on to the next count until every single person is doing it right, even if it takes us an hour to get through...

    Arm Motions

    When I was in high school, we did the same deal with having entire practices dedicated to motions/motion placement. I'm lucky enough to now asst. coach at the HS I attended, and we've carried on the tradition as well. We will have the girls stand in staggered lines and hit each motion (I'm not...

    High School Competition Routine Order

    We typically do the cheer first when the girls are at peak energy, so they're at their loudest! We do the dance last because we want them to have fun with it, and finish strong and hitting the dance at the end is always their favorite part (for most of them).

    Coach Made Freshman "co-captain"!!!!!

    If your daughter's depression has gotten to the point that you feel her next step is self-harm, please (if you haven't already) get her help. Her mental health should be priority number one, not Cheerleading. If you truly and wholeheartedly feel that her depression is solely linked to the way...

    High School Anyone Had An Injury Like This?

    Last year, I was performing some lower back stretches (that my chiropractor had recommended) where I was in a ball position and rocked back onto my shoulder blades, and felt the most agonizing shooting pain I had ever experienced in my life. Went from my bum to the top of my knees. At the ripe...

    High School Seniors W/ College Cheer Goals

    I coach an all-girl team and bring in some guys that I cheered with in college to work with my seniors who are going on schools with co-ed teams. Sometimes the girls that are bases in high school are so worried about having to be twig-skinny to fly in college that they fail to remember that in...

    High School 2017-2018 Rules

    As a coach whose competition team hasn't exceeded 10 in the past 5 years, YES PLEASE to changing the braced flip rules.

    Full Around Advice?

    Hello! So I coach a high school team, and we've been unable to get traditional 360s (from load to half or extension) but I think we may have some success in trying full arounds (from a half to half or back to load/to extension) I think some teams refer to them as "retakes", but I'm unsure of the...
