Now, … some of us are wondering the results of your meeting, which direction did you select and when the program will start the first season? What information was your decision based upon? What was the response from the Ahtletic Department & the University Administration? etc.

Although comparing apples & pineapples is a favorite pastime when involved in conversations surrounding the “water cooler” … it usually isn’t very productive in solving the “big picture” questions which need to be addressed to establish “next steps” moving your program into a new focus. Let me...

Keep in mind the public will never know all of the non-public information until it is released to the press. A phrase we used in Boy Scouts to answer the outstanding question for teenage youth, "Are we ready to eat yet?" with the reply being, "All will be revealed in time!" The same is true...

Are you referring to All*Star teams at various levels (1-6) which are hosted by local gyms but compete Regionally & Nationally? Those are actually sponsored by USASF, which has been supported financially by Varsity Brands (UCA) since inception, however, it is not UCA or NCA but USASF. You can...

Has anything new surfaced on this issue, either from CSULB, NCA or Baldwin Park All*Stars? BTW, if anyone cheats they should be appropriately disciplined. Question: are any rules currently in place for the discipline actions to match the violations, for example something similar to the...

The challenge is that until the format changes for Collegiate Cheer to represent a competitive season, followed by a post-season competition with a significantly reduced number of National Championship titles in line with other NCAA sports … the recognition all Collegiate Cheer athletes desire &...

It's just a simple matter of being focused as Athletes, Coaches to accomplish everything for Football & Basketball & the Collegiate Cheer Competition, which is really only one weekend of competition. Seriously, both can be accomplished when a Coach develops daily, monthly and annual goals...

Curious as to why you posed the question placing Competitive Cheer in juxtaposition to College Cheer? Were you searching for differences, or was this a competitive comparison? What are the strengths of Competitive Cheer from your perspective? Collegiate Cheer can be the absolutely best...

Although NCATA and the A&T Sport are a new look for Competitive Cheer they have been developing the competitive format for over 3 years now. No one in A&T is denying their roots are in Competitive Cheer, if anything … they celebrate this connection! Cheer Stunts, Pyramids, Basket Tosses and...

What impact will this merger facilitate for Cheer training and competitions?

In some respect or perspective, there actually exists consensus within the Competitive Cheer community, it is called a “Checkbook!” Parents & athletes vote everyday with their money as they decide which competitions to attend, uniforms to wear, training necessary for achieving goals, travel...

The performances by Acrobatic athletes is amazing, especially in trios, so please keep up the great work! Maybe one day some form of Cheer will also compete alongside Acro, which as you detailed would require more than NCAA Emerging Sport status. The World needs to desire Cheer, that's a very...

It appears you are focusing on the concept of a true non-profit National Governing Board (NGB). So far, only A&T has registered a non-profit NGB. Both A&T and Stunt are progressing in their development, but in different arena’s with different athletes. We shall continue to monitor success...

Agreed, scores & enforcement will always determine how Coaches & Gyms will dedicate their efforts towards the goal of Champion. Next question, can we achieve consensus for all scores, deductions, penalties, etc, for ignoring the rules. Before you establish a single score sheet, how will...

Big gyms represent someone doing a whole lot of things right at the same time! Marketing, advertising, sales, business partnerships, fitness training, qualified & experienced Coaches, facility maintenance, cleaning, …. Starting any business in the “Good Ole USA” regardless of the economy, is...

Wow! Have you found relief by not being Cheer active?

Is that a High School program or Collegiate? It is very suprising the current school, Baldwin Park, is either unaware of the issue with CSULB or chooses to ignore the impact on School, the program and the athletes! Amazing!

As you said, two times SFA misses the accolades they earned, 2007 & 2011, what a sad statement for the sponsors, NCA. When the administration doesn't fulfill their responsibilities all the competitors will suffer the confusion wondering if they could have won & who else might have also fudged...

This is a serious allegation, are you able to supply any details about performing members of the team who were NOT registered & recognized students on the team?

Are you comfortable in naming names and dates? Accusations are one thing, details supporting this type statement which can be verified are another.
