-routines ending in a pyramid. Every time I see this it just makes me feel like the routines not finished. I love more then anything watching a team hit their dance hard when they know they hit a solid routine.

-coaches that have some less then flattering pictures of them in college in hardly any clothes on their Facebook page. Seriously either take them down, remove the tag or block it so your athletes and parents can't see it.

I am not friends with any of the kids from our gym on fb. I find it unnecessary. We have a gym fb page that they can get updates on, etc. I am friends with a few moms but only the ones who I am really close with. With that behind said I keep my fb very professionals anyways since I am a high school teacher as well.

i can understand it too but it just bugs me and this is a thread for pet peeves...

No, I get it....that's why I said what I did about always taping everyone instead of just one or two people.

One of mine is personal. 2 of my tumbling passes were pulled from the routine cos the other people weren't hitting consistently. We're focusing on synchronization, so out it came. I worked hard for it and I want to show it off. However, I get that it's for a better routine in the end. Just still frustrating.

And I'm with everyone who said long awards. I coach at a school, and the last awards took 45 min for the judges to finish tabulating, ranking and start announcing. 12-14 year old kids had stopped dancing to the music and sat back down cos they were so bored. You know it's gone way too long then

Well I finished cheering 8 years ago, so that's new thing to me!

Something pertaining to cheer that actually annoyed me and I hope the competition company stops doing it... Letting the scores/results out before awards... I kid you not, they posted the scores/results in the practice gym (which you basically had to walk through to get to the change room we were in) quite some time before awards, so there was zero surprise at awards when we won.

I get what you are saying and I agree but it does make me wonder. Do you think this is a "response" to the cheer tweets that come out, especially at major competitions? Figuring there are teams of twitter users sending out the scores from events as soon as they get them and telling who should win anyhow so the company may as well do it? JW

Why is every team stomping after either jumps to back or standing fulls...

is it choreographed? B/c I only really like it in Wildcats' routine

you can thank Mrs. LOVE for that from twist and shout obsession last year.

Cheerlebrities are my biggest pet peeve. All of these cheerlebrites are unnesccary to our sport and really need to be stopped.

dont like it how about getting a life. . . . .

 

[Jule]

My pet peeve are people who are paying way too much attention on where a certain teammember stands in the pyramid or whatever other part of the routine.
And if anyone on a level 5 team gets credits for basing a prep, I'm really beginning to question this sport.

Ties in divisions, why?

Ties in divisions, why?

I understand completely, but I will admit that when our sen 5 lost at NCA a few years ago by .002 I would have loved to have seen a tie.

 

[platinumcheerashley]

gyms who allow 8383726 other kids from the gym (not on the team) to come stand by and watch warm ups... *excuse me I need to tumble and your entire program is on my mat*

being from a big/well known gym and at competitions the smaller gyms give you death stares...

I hate ties as well but if my team lost by .oo2 I would have lost it. I would be beyond frustrated and mad!
