I think it is what most of us refer to as a waterfall or suicide.

No rule that says you can not practice a higher skill you just cant compete it. No reason for your athletes to get bored in this area.

If they have solid quality lay outs they should have fulls by choreography. If that is the only skill they are missing that is their deadline in order to be on 5 without it they can train as alternates. Put the 4-5 in one stunt group that way if they do not get it it will only effect one stunt...

The progression of the straight right is so important to the development for later skills. It is important to require athletes to do this at the lower levels. If you add other skills in at this level this very very important progression will be lost in order to max out on the score sheet...

makes perfect sense ...the biomechanics of men and women are different. Women are stronger in the lower portion and need to rely on this for strong stunting. Men can muscle it through arms and shoulders.

This event did start to die out a few years ago then they started offering bids and it has slowly increased every year though the quality that once way USA is no longer there.

I alway run checks though not required.

First I would start by asking at your OWN gym. Change begins at home. Does the owner do background check? Beyond USASF credentialing ask how else are the coaches qualified to coach? I find that parents assume that the coaches are qualified to coach their athletes just because they have the...

No and neither do most gyms unfortunately it is not a requirement of credentialing through USASF though it should be.

but it makes for fun reading :enjoyshow:

no disrespect but RC Club Cheer put it on the map. An excellent well run and respected gym that gave many others their start.

As a member of USAG . . . I think it should also be the same for USASF but I do not think it has anything to do with my ability to safely teach tumbling.

If gymnastics can get insured so can cheerleading . . . btw why not require all athletes to have insurance. Has anyone heard of a cheerleader who got injured at a competition suing an event producer?

Maybe it could be the t-shirt you are now required to wear at competition to cover up your expensive new uniform you were required to buy:cheering:

I saw this and thought it was ridiculous! I have never seen or had a flyer fall from that height without someone catching her or at least breaking the fall. This example is highly unrealistic where as a football player being hit happens every play.

LOL . . . I love how the girl is screaming like she is at a Bieber concert!

Have your been to the venue . . . that is exactly where the judges are at.

great routine but an off tumbling day (not so clean) I think Sundays will be a lot better. So be prepared to pick your jaws up off the floor!

Thanks for posting a lower level team . . . I had not seen this one. Great routine!
