I had the GREAT pleasure of meeting Haverford's coach and seeing their awesome team. Haverford came in 4th out of 21!!! Our team, Spring-Ford, came in 12th out of 41. Great feeling!
PS - My daughter is the point flyer. :)
Haverford will add their video.
Here's Spring-Ford. We will be at...
PA district 1 is tomorrow. I look forward to seeing Haverford!!! We are Spring-Ford. I think we're ready. We're okay. We're not NJ or Mass but we are doing our best. If we do well, I'll post a video.
Look for me if you're there! I have really short, curly hair. My daughter is the tiny, Chinese...
2 of our athletes have concussions and can't compete in the first of the 2 qualifiers we're signed up for (11/22).
One is the point flyer and one of the main tumblers. The other is a back. We have a weak replacement for the back (weak in skill and recovering from mono). We have no replacement...
Last year we had our school letters and (4 ) and then 2 signs that said name of our school (2 words).
We didn't try for nationals last year - just did states (made semi-finals)
What does UCA really look for?
THANKS
We lost a flyer. We have no one to replace her who can do what the others can. We have an alternate who can fly in the cheer and 2 man extensions, but she has no experience to do team stunt.
Our plan is 4 stunt groups (no fronts) and use the other 4 to run with flags or something like that...
Our choreographed put a cool 4 count pose before our opening. They pose, then the music starts and they stunt. Question: Does the 4 count pose count as part of the 2:30 or does it start when the music starts? (or cheer is in the middle).
Thanks.
Conflicting information.
A: If you open with stunt, you need a second stunt series to prove you are strong enough to pull off stunts. So do 2 stunt series. (Currently we open with a stunt, tumble, cheer, dance - only 3 eight counts), stunt, pyramid
B: One stunt series is enough. Lengthen...
What do you do when someone misses practice (other than illness)?
We have:
Concerts
Headache
study for test
family obligations
Seems there are a lot of excuses. Thoughts?
How difficult is it to qualify for Nationals? Meaning... in your experience, how many do they take from regional qualifiers? Also, how do we find qualifying competitions. We found 2, but have to give one of them up to meet the needs of the local allstar team with whom we share athletes. They are...
How do we go about finding competitions per state? Our coach is interested in some competitions that are only HS (no all-star). We are in PA. Thank you.
How do your non-cheer kids handle how busy we are with our cp's? My son says his sister is a gifted athlete, but isn't interested in her cheerleading. Sometimes I feel badly that I'm so busy with cp - traveling, etc.
My son is a scholar. He's in 11th grade and just got his SAT scores back -...
Sunday! NJ and PA. So excited!!! Fear the X!!
Seriously, we are very excited to meet other great teams at competitions. Let the friendly and fierce competition commence.
My daughter (Senior 5 at age 13) quit all star 2 days ago much to much shock. the school already heard - and she will probably be able to do 9th rather than 8th next year. But they don't do a lot of stunting until HS. She's an amazing flyer. I can keep up her tumbling by taking her to a...
Schedule is up! http://www.theusfinals.com/Events/WashingtonDC.asp
I know WORLDS is all the buzz this weekend, but I am looking forward to competing next weekend.
