I was told by the person who runs my state there is a page where you can post videos and get a ruling as far as NFHS and AACCA rules. I cannot seem to accomplish this. Does anyone know about this or could you put me in contact with someone who can rule on NFHS rules.
Thanks for all the help.
I am just curious as to what some colleges use for a strength and conditioning program for cheer. Does your team hit the weight room and lift or just come in for some no weight workouts?
It wasn't that they were being watched. They were throwing a Toss Hands Heelstretch. And they are capable of throwing a toss hands lib so when I looked over they were in hands about to press and I had no idea they were going to heelstretch. I had toyed with the idea of no stunting but I...
Yes I am the coach. Yes this is a type of punishment. I didn't mention that it is a high school program but high school kids sometimes have a mind of their own and I did not tell them to try the skill. I have told them countless times that they should not try things at a game that we have not...
I am looking for a creative conditioning drill for my team. My team threw a single base stunt at a game that they had never thrown in practice and didn't have a spot and the girl fell off the back. So I am looking to do some conditioning but instead of just running them into the ground I am...
Currently the only thing we really use that's Varsity is Uniforms, Poms, Megaphones. We don't use Varsity at all for our camps so we are able to avoid it there. Shoes we currently are using NFinitys.
I run a high school cheer program of roughly 60 athletes and I want to discontinue use of Varsity cheer products if possible. I do not like where they stand in the cheer industry and would prefer to use someone else's products. I feel this is completely achievable but before I do this and...
In my opinion as a coach and athlete is that it builds your skills mentally. If you can find a way to perform a skill when completely exhausted the less likely you are to let it effect you when you are completely exhausted in the middle of competition.
That is interesting I will have to pay attention to that a little more to see if that is the case in my experience. I have had team punishment in all of my team sports the whole time I was growing up but I never paid attention to the age or experience of the coach.
I will be entering my 5th year coaching and the other coach has been coaching upwards of 10 years. I am in my 20s and the other coach is in their late 40s.
Sorry if it appeared to be a shot that is not what I was intending to do. And I agree humiliation is not the way to go. Basically all I was saying is that if you are punishing an athlete it should not be for something that they cannot perform. You should only be asking them to do something...
There are plenty of situations I have seen with my team and many other teams that I have not coached where stunts don't hit because athletes are not trying. Generally some type of punishment or reward gets them to hit the stunts. Now all of these coaches in these situations are quality coaches...
In general I understand what you are saying about behavioral conformity but I am not sure exactly what all falls under that. Obviously things such as disrespect or messing around is a behavior issue. Would you consider being tardy to practice or not showing up to practice a behavior issue?
So basically what you are saying is if it is something that they are capable of doing then team punishment makes sense. However, if it is something they are capable of doing then don't use team punishment. Is that correct?
