So I do cheer in germany and all our coaches are volunteers who either also do cheer or have done gymnastics or cheer. I got a concussion and since one of my coaches is also a medical student she relized the symptoms and sent me to the hospital. She also refused to let me train or compete till I...
Cheerleading is an acrobatic sport and if you look at other acrobatic sports you will find glitter and other over the top uniforms. When I remember my gymnastics days, me and everyone else on my level (and the others as well) were happy for the rhinestones we could get on our leo's. I guess alot...
My little sister is on our J4 team and I am on our Senior Allgirl 5 team and we have back to back practices on sundays. I go to my sisters pracitces and she goes mine since my parents don't want to drive twice to the gym and back since we live an hour away. One of our flyers were missing due to...
My team has a group chat on whatsapp that is only there for our coaches to post information about upcoming events or meets and nothing else. It's pretty practical since everybody in germany seems to have replaced texting with whatsapp and its also free the first year and after that I think $0.89...
I used to be a gymnast, I stopped at level 9 when I had a back injury at only 14. After the year I took to heal, I tried getting back in but I lost almost all of my skills (I was capable of a shitty roundoff- backtuck and a standing bhs). I also started cheer with a friend from school who went...
I read this and couldn't help thinking of my mom, who is now in year 4. I noticed a bit of year 3 last year, but thank god she had 9 years of practice when she was gymnastics mom before me and my sister changed to cheer.
We also have a lot of the same issues, for every euro we need for a compition, we have to have a fundraiser or we perform at events for money. I can also relate to the mat issue, I used to be a gymnast (level 7 training 8 when I stopped) and on the mats we have I barley can do a layout and other...
I agree that the top 10 and then the top three from each country is a good idea. I was just a bit annoyed that teams outside the USA don't get enough credit, espeacialy since most kids don't have the opportunity to train like you do in the US.
I cheer in Germany, and we don't have the equitment you guys have, we don't even have a gym with a spring floor. Our coaches are also volunteers. I used to live in the USA and I did competitive gymnastics there. If they train the cheerleaders in the USA close to the way they train gymnasts, you...
So I decided to share some of my negative expriences as a cheerleader, my dad is a consultant and we end up having to move around a lot. It was my second year of doing cheer and I was sort of just settling into the sport thinking that I finaly found true friends in that area. My team was an...
Hi, so I come from a small gym according to american standerds, but german wise we are average. Since cheerleading is a very unknown sport in Germany we also have struggles. What my gym does to put ourselves out there is, we host an open gym every year, we have a facebook page and we update it...
