I coach Mercy - thanks! Kenny Feeley was a blessing when we were struggling on high to highs!
Pikeville was INCREDIBLE! The full up single based stunts, the double around in the pyramid & the front flip were just a few of the things that made my jaw drop!
We don't compete in the UCA circuit...
To me a true level of a team is the level that that particular group of athletes have mastered - not solely based on an individual athlete's ability. I hope each of the kids on a Y3 team are working level 4 & above in tumbling & stunting class. I believe that athletes should be training at the...
Our Athletic Department purchases uniforms for athletic teams every 4 years, rotating 2-3 sports each year. All athletes pay $100 per year for athletic fees. We have been allowed to purchase 2 tops & 1 skirt.
My first year at my HS they had white uniforms we kept for 4 years. They didn't...
I have taken my HS team 2 times - should have been 3 but Ice/Snow in KY = ARMAGEDDON! They actually moved it this year from Louisville to Missouri (St. Louis, I believe).
When it was in Louisville it was a 1-day, 2 performances competition. That was the only downside to the whole...
My information came from my assistant coach (who is originally from Somerset/Southwestern HS) - They had a girl get hurt & only competed 11. They didn't do their pyramid. I hate it for them - they are so amazing!
I completely agree - our awards were at 1pm & we had kids eager to stay to hear Level 2 Summit bids. I had 2 in tears because they thought they didnt get one! Even though we were fortunate enough to received an at-large - I hate it that the celebration moment was taken from those kids &...
We condition the 1st 30 minutes of every practice. We start with running - beginning of season is 5 min, by the end of season we are running 10-15 minutes. Then we do low v cheer jacks straight into high v cheer jacks (30 each). Then we do a conditioning circuit which changes up each week...
In Kentucky it is recognized as a "sport activity" as stated above. In simpler terms, this means that to be eligible to compete in Nationals and other out of state competitions, each school much compete in KHSAA region & state competition. Before it became a "sport activity" in 2012-2013, it...
We usually have tryouts right after Spring Break. We have 3 days of clinics and tryout on the 4th day. We have the month of May off then start practices in June with NCA camp & choreography camp in July.
