We found a much cheaper fare flying into Tampa. We are staying st the All-Star Sports Resort. Has anyone done this and if so, how did you get from the Tampa airport to WDW? I thought about renting a car from the Tampa airport to the Orlando airport and then taking the Disney shuttle which is...
We live in the DFW area and got our Paid bid at Cheersport Nationals this year, so we spent money to make money. :rolleyes: Last year we got a wildcard bid locally and came in first in WC and had the highest score going into Finals, but had a stunt fall on day 2. This is my last year of...
At Cheersport Day 1, we were handed our Zero buttons but the team that was in second reported that we had a tumble bust, which in fact we did, and the judges gave us the deduction, rightfully so. In defense of the judges, it was very difficult to see what happened. None of the parents or...
I can attest this... granted my CP is not on a Worlds team. Their team had a very uncharacteristic Day 1 with 2.75 in deductions and were in 7th (last place) and moved up to 3rd with the highest score of the 22 teams in their level from both days. We had just won Cheersport. To say the least...
The division that my daughter's team is in, is one of the largest. 18 teams were in the Wildcard round and the top 3 advanced to Finals; there were 22 teams that competed in the Semi-finals, and 10 of those moved onto the Finals, for a total of 13 teams. The Wildcard round for this particular...
I'm glad you put the "lesser" in quotes. I have no idea why some folks think that a Wildcard bid isn't as prestigious as an At-Large bid. My daughter's team received a Wildcard bid at their first comps last year and this year. They had to compete against 18 other teams and make it into the...
My oldest daughter was a high school and all-star cheerleader for 7 years. She is now in college and has started taking pole exercise classes. She loves it and says that it works all muscle groups and she feels stronger than she did in high school.
It took several months for the criticism of the 10 girls who didn't legitimately make the squad to die down. Tritter comments were especially cruel. A few of the girls still say that it was the worst experience of their high school years and it they had to do it over again, they wouldn't have...
Please keep us updated. I have posted about my story before about our mama AND daddy drama. Yeah, the dads got involved too and it was all because their princesses didn't make the Varsity squad. The original squad of 20 grew to 30 after the parents hired an attorney and filed a grievance with...
This is the rubric for captain tryouts at my daughter's high school. Only incoming seniors can make captain/co-captain and they had to be on the Varsity squad the year before. Only juniors and seniors can make Varsity. My oldest was captain and my youngest just made co-captain, even though she...
My heart hurts for my daughter's team. They had the highest score out of the 38 SS4 teams going into finals and had a stunt fall. On a positive note, I was really happy for KaPrincesses winning.
I used Arkansas as an example since my oldest is a student there. I could have chosen any of the SEC schools. The atmosphere at the home football games is so exciting.
My daughter's team got a D1 WC bid at their first competition where they came in first. They subsequently came in first at the next 3 competitions and came in 2nd at NCA by less than .24 points. They were in second after day one at NCA by 1.5 points after an uncharacteristically poor...
