Just an observation and would like to get some thoughts. Last year our level 5 team flyers on one of our teams were frankly out of control. They banded together and color coordinated their outfits, bows and hair for nearly ever practice. They had an instagram account dedicated to only flyers...
In our town, this question has been debated YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR! At first, the high school said all girls who make the team must compete and stated you could not do all star cheer. Parents complained and said that wasn't right or legal as how can a school tell you what you can and cannot...
IMO, this is exactly the reason. It will be shown on ESPN with the intent of making it seem that teams all over the world are competing at a high level. If you recall, last year's World's coverage showed many International Teams--and I about fell over seeing all the tucks. It's all about how...
I'm new to small all girl level 5, so please excuse by ignorance. I'm watching first comp videos and seeing teams where about half the girls are "supposed" to do a standing full, but really there about 3 doing a full and the rest doing a standing tuck. Are they trying to fool the judges or...
I think the viewing room is the death of our gym. We used to be a big gym and have lost kids for the past three years and I think the reason has alot to do with the open viewing area. Our space has four floors and parents can sit anywhere in front of the floors. Parents group together and talk...
I knew this would happen. Friend just texted me cps gym is having a summit team. Anyone on R5 or 4 can tryout for this Level 2 team. Practice will be for 2 hours once a week. They will only go to the summit on a full paid bid and gym is promoting it as a free trip to disney world. This bothers me.
I respectfully disagree. I want kids to want to reach the highest level and if they can go to disney on a level 2 team, why bother going for level 5. its just a sign of the times, more people want without working for it. jmo
I don't like the idea of the summit for two reasons. First, it's after worlds and the biggest comp should be the last. Second, it's in orlando and just like worlds it makes it hard for gyms on the west coast to get to. Even though one of our teams got a full paid bid they didn't go because as...
IMO if you stay with a gym for a year and pay your bills and attend all practices and comps and then move to another gym its NOT gym hopping. Gym hopping to me means leaving midyear, or before a bid comp, which I don't like. If a kid gets a better offer or there is a better gym that meets their...
I hope this wasn't already answered but is there no more Force Black Legend Katz? Is there now only one FORCE team (SilverKatz?) At JAMZ only SilverKatz performed. Tell me that Black Legen Katz still exists! If not, what about all those kids who aren't old enough for the International team????
I don't fault the reporting gym at all! It could be possible that someone from the reporting gym saw the athlete during the performance and knew she/he wasn't 15 as of august 31. ALOT of kids gym hop here, and it is a small world. I don't have any issues with reporting after the fact. It's a bid...
Someone mentioned this but I think its true.there are alot more smaller flyers on California teams and here is my theory. In Southern California there are about 30 worlds teams in easy driving distance from me. I think because there are so many teams younger girls have to fly. I'm not sure if...
Companies come and go so I'm trying to get links for the places to order worlds practice wear. There used to be some specials going around last year but i don't see any this year. please post some good places to order. thank you
