Cheer Pet Peeves?

anything that puts/lets the whole routine down...

The middle flyer of the pyramid, who is supposed to be sassy... And looks scared.

agree with saving seats
too much shoulder shimmying
tongues out
obvious favoritism by the coach (like when the same girl is pt flyer, pt jumper, pt dancer etc)
every team using the same music (only girl in the world)

 

[xotumble3xo]

oh, and definitely when the parents of the first place team start screaming and jumping when the #2 team is announced... classless.

4. Saving more than 1 seat in the parent viewing area.[/quote]

I was at a competition where this one mom walked to the center section with a roll of crate paper ribbon and roped off the WHOLE ENTIRE center section for their parents....who weren't even there for another 3 hours into the comp. Ugh!

^^^^^^^^^That is when you go to one of the event workers and tell them, they will usually tell the offending party they can't do that. But it never ceases to amaze me how rude people can be about this. The announcers will come on every so often and say do not save seats and people just ignore it completely. At NCA, there were two seats in the front row on the edge that had a sweater laying across both seats. The seats were right next to a big group of people from one gym, so I assumed they were theirs. Lo and behold, an hour and a half later a couple from an unrelated gym came and sat there right before their team came on. The brazenness just stuns me. And I don't care if people save 2 or 3 seats right next to them. But also at NCA one group had a person every third seat or so and claimed all the rest so that they basically were saving 4 entire rows with about 12 people. And let me tell you - one man was RUDE about it.

[Marianne]

tongues out. like seriously. Just smile, it's way prettier

When girls bows are floppy and are just kinda laying on-top of their head. I just want to get bobby pins and pin it up! Also, when flyers aren't flexible enough, and can barely pull their stretches and during jump sequences when theres one or two people who are off time.

i hate it when girls try to throw their fulls, but every time they fall or stumble, if your gonna throw a full make sure you can stick it first.

 

[Chayser Elisabeth]

MESSY HAIR/MAKE UP. Can't stand it. We've got an image to uphold ladies!

 

[Chayser Elisabeth]

Oh and of course, drama between cheer parents.

 

[KElite4life]

I have to say coaches that push their girls past their comfort level when it comes to tumbling.

 

[PrideCheerAlicia]

awkward music

 

[Bad Larry]
