It's always great to hear stories of great sportsmanship and each year Worlds tends to have it at the highest level. Please share any stories you've seen or heard about.

I just saw this NCATA article on Facebook and I thought it was a great way to explain NCATA and the sport of Acro and Tumbling. I personally like that it is focusing on being a sport first and not being a successful industry like cheer is. I'm interested to hear everyone's thoughts. Meet the...

This is the week for you to embrace your inner shark. Enjoy and post your comments about how your week is going.

I'm hearing from quite a few people who are late receiving uniforms. I've always felt this would stop happening if parents required their gyms to hold uniform companies accountable for late merchandise like we do for any other expensive service we pay for: if you are late, the customer gets a...

These two news pieces came out yesterday. I am personally disappointed in the AACCA response by Jim Lord in the ABC piece. The CNN video includes CEA SSX, Raleigh Coed, ACE, Texas, Ga, and some other gyms. I think this is one of the most important issues on cheer today to discuss so I am happy...

Rec cheer is poorly defined and represented format of cheer across the country. Some areas treat it just like All Star, some don't allow competition, come are a mix of competition and cheering for a pop-warner style team. There are many different versions of local, state, and multi-state...

I have a student of mine who is getting stationed in England at Lakenheath Air Force Base near Newmarket and Thetford. His wife cheered competitively in Indiana through high school and then in college at Appalachian State University in North Carolina graduating in 2008. They will move their...

If you didn't know the NACCC is hosting the Doral Coaches conference this week. Here is a link to the Agenda: 2012 NACCC Coaches Retreat | Facebook As you can see they are discussing a number of topics starting tomorrow. I posted this on the event Facebook as well as the A.S.G.A Facebook...

A friend's 13yr old son is dying of cancer (age of my son) . . . this Blog will make you sad but he is a great kid. http://www.e-nevusnotes.blogspot.com/ It is sad at times and very uplifting at others. If you have time to read I know you'll be touch but please keep them in your prayers...

I think it's important this next year to educate ourselves on who is responsible for what in cheer. Often times this gets confused. The governing body has to put out the rules and standards required for safety and competition. Membership should drive the governing body to change based on the...

As we start a new season I wanted to encourage parents to ensure they educate themselves on the sport better this year. Many remain frustrated all year or post here that they don't understand where their money is going. It is reasonable to have a list of where your payments are used and ask...

I am personally looking forward to great competition between SSX, Orange, Cali Senior Elite, and GBE Lime along with a handfull of teams that are strong enough to knock a top team down if they let'em. Any logical prediction discussions are welcome!

Hey everyone, Great news! CHEERSPORT has agreed to set aside a few tables and maybe a banner near the So You Think You Can Tumble event for a Parent Meet and Greet. The USASF Parent Action Committee invites parents to stop by and meet. Say hello, tell each other which teams you are with...

I was listening to some music today and it made me think of making a playlist that is all positive either to put you in a good mood when things aren't going so well or pump you up before competition. The catch is for all this music to be positive, no negative angry music or adult stuff your...

This thread is to focus questions, explanations, discussions, and even provide suggestions if you like about what happened today. Maybe if we are lucky we will get some insight and comments from "the Pope" herself. (I'm Catholic so I definitely mean no disrespect to the big man of our religion...

I saw this article about an AZ Cheer team not allowed to wear breast cancer awareness shirt and thought it might be worth a discussion. What do you think? (Be nice) http://thematadorsports.com/blog/?p=10440

I thought I would write this to spark a little debate about the disorganization and lack of overall focus that is rampant in the entire sport of cheer. After reading and thinking a lot about all the problems that people like to talk about I have slowly formulated in my mind how Cheerleading...

I got sent to Savannah, Ga for the week for some training. We're staying right in the middle of downtown near the riverwalk. Anyone have any suggestions for stuff to do in the evenings on free time? Any good places to eat that are nearby?
