Just my opinion; it could have been worded better. Like most things, sometimes education in speaking terms is key. I personally think the NT division is great and am at about a 50/50 stance that it could maybe be a Summit division vs Worlds division.
I'm too old and injured to ever compete in...
IDK the area that well, and hope you find a team; I just wanted to point out "NT" and the use of "regular team" is part of a problem of growing respect for the NT division.
Team Illinois announced they are closing next week. Sounds positive for the gym owner and her family! Team Illinois has ALWAYS been one of the classiest, humblest programs in Illinois. Sad to see them go, but honored to have been a life long Black Sparkle fan!
For this reason, when I started my international program (which you know since you were on it), I ONLY allowed 18+ and college students to be on it. A time or two we needed a last minute fill in, we would grab a Senior aged kid, but my team was warned about cussing, conversations, etc. when we...
My guess is when live competitions happen, if there is no vaccine and COVID is still out of control, a first step would be to do Program Scheduling vs Division Scheduling. So your gym would perform let's say between 10AM-11AM amount a few other gyms vs spread out throughout the day and then...
As a choreographer, we have just adapted to "new normal." We wear masks while doing choreography and really only remove them if we are at the front of the floor not around anyone or eating/drinking. A few gyms I have worked with were unable to stunt so we taught building skills completely...
Oh wow. Is Kids Spot Cheer still a thing? I know they were this past season. They've been really successful over the years! I believe they are in Roscoe as well? Couldn't imagine another gym in such a small town. Love the Colors and name of Wicked though!
I have heard there are certain gyms who have mutual agreements (or maybe even contracts) with each other about infringing on certain areas. It makes sense. This is course is second hand information I heard but I take the source fairly reliable.
I also heard that some D1 Gyms were buying, at...
Out of curiosity on your stance (side note, I agree with your post) but what would you think if the flyer was no longer doing her job and/or mental blocking? What if they weren't contributing what they tried out with or had been all season? What if it was the best interest of the team to pull a...
I am all for this rule. You make a commitment to a PROGRAM and not a team. I'm not on Twitter (except to check CheerUpdates), and know NOTHING on the situation at hand, but sounds like girl had a spot on Generals, just not in a role she wanted. This rule is no secret. Actions have consequences...
