I took our cheat deer away because they take so much time deciding what cheer to call!! Honestly they called out more cheers when they didn’t have it out, and when they got stuck I gave them a cheer to call. I also let my captains glance at it on water breaks or between quarters to see what else...
Going into tryouts this year I will
More than likely have a varsity full of all returners, I again want to incorporate stunting but I’m not sure the best way to do so. Who does it and how?? Or could I just take the scores for each spot. Like I know I’ll have 7 stunt groups so the top 7 flyers...
I usually do minimal/easy stunting so that everything sticks. Also we don’t have time to take mats out for our time slot. I have 3 really big squads (freshmen 22, JV 31, and Varsity 37) so all 3 perform a cheer together and then freshmen and JV go to the sides and Varsity stunts and dances. I...
I’ve done white uniforms the past 3 years to no problems! This year we got powerfit material but also have a motionflex full liner for a second top and it’s washing up fun. Our accent colors are black and gold and I’ve had no bleeding from the black onto the uniform.
Thinking of competing USA this year, I have no tumbling on my squad though and was wondering if the non-tumbling division was allowed the advance divisions stunts?
What are some things that your squads do at camp to bond? This is the first year I’m taking a group to an overnight camp and just need somewhere to start.
It was really the craziest (and I hate to say this but seriously the ghettoest) thing I've ever encountered. It was almost as if they proved my point of the bad attitudes and exactly where they come from. It was a mess. What kills me is that we aren't even a competitive school. I had two girls...
Exactly my thoughts! I had 2 girls not make it this year and their parents went crazy, I told my assistant coaches that if the school or the board made me put them on my team I'd walk. I couldn't coach where they let the parents walk all over you. Also what kid would want to cheer on that...
My first year as a head coach I called in those who didn't make it and explained that there wasn't a spot for them this year and what not, and then called in those who did and congratulated them and gave them all the info needed for meetings and practice. I did 2-3 groups of each so it wasn't...
thia is my first time taking the girls to a Varsity brand camp, how and what are these letters? Is it just a fundraiser for St. Jude? How many do you usually get per athlete on your squad?
I just got an email about what to wear and the rally’s theme. I haven’t been to a UCA camp so I’m just curious on what to except for the rally. Do squads go all out dressing up? What do they do at the rally?
does anyone have one of those straps flyers use to help stretch body positions? I remember a girl on a team I was on used to make them and I was just wondering how long it was to see if I could do the same.
Does anyone know where some events are in Northern California? I’d like to see it in person and see what it’s about. We didn’t do it this year but it’s something I’d like to start at my school next year.
