Cheer Pet Peeves?

[oa_girl]

-when i see girls on any level using there hands to get up from a forward roll
- unflexible flyers
-when teams do a lot of jumps like 5 and they are all relly sloppy jumps

When teams have tiny little 10 year old girls on senior teams as flyers, i think it looks bad and sticks out like a sore thumb because they are so small compaired to the older girls

Flyers that aren't flexible!

This is not really a cheer pet peeve (or is it) but i think it´s a total NO-NO that cheerleaders under 18 years (germany) post photos on any social media of themselves and friends or teammates drinking and smoking.

I get so mad when i see this, no matter if they would be from my team or another gym.
Not cool. You represent your gym, you want to be an athlete - what do you think posting these things?

I don´t know if someone posted this before (sorry if so) , but i just had to throw this in.

So it´s not only a cheer pet peeve but in general

-stunts falling
-busted tumbling
-teams acting better than others..we're all at the same competition so we all have the same ability
-blind judges (you can't win with a fall!!!)
-ugly fulls..it's a full twisting layout, not a full twisting tuck
-cheerleaders competing in jewelry and nail polish
-people who don't yell in the cheer
-awkward dances
-cheer moms on other teams..i swear they're worse than the actual girls
-sloppy people

that's all i can think of right now. i'm sure i have more lol

I´m okay with nail polish - but jewelry? Isn´t there a rule about that?

yes there's a rule about that. you're not supposed to have any jewelry in at all for safety reasons!

This makes me mad in America too. Like not only are you representing your team, but it's ILLEGAL and if you get caught you're going to get in trouble...
I don't even understand people drinking in high school and how they get away with it, my parents would find out... But especially people posting pictures. People post pics of them drinking, smoking weed, smoking other stuff, and they arent in trouble...Like do their parents not care or...? Mine would kill me

I agree with you on the slow tumblers, that annoys me a lot!
But when peoples motions are so sloppy

Feet apart in smushes.

 

[Skylar_Csa]

When people dont take it as serious as I do
When people goof off
Slow Dances
Dances that have too much going on
Off beat stunts and jumps
slow jumps
When people bring their chest down doing toe touches
Blank faces
Scary facials, Like not the fun cute ones, the scary ones that dont look right
When teams compete in Practice uni.
When people wear white shoes instead of real cheer shoes
When people dont think cheer is a sport.

 

[Skylar_Csa]

Oh and two more that I cant stand.
When flyers jump out of a stunt.
and the worst...When people in the audience are hoping another team stunts fall , I mean like really ? Cmon show sportsmanship.

-Flyers being dropped
-Practice not being taken seriously
-Girls walking around the arena half naked
-Messy hair
-14 continuous eight counts of the same music in a routine
-Center dancers that are sloppy
-Fetus flyers
-Busted tumbling
-Jumps that are completely off
-Bad attitudes
-Being more concerned with your boyfriend before walking on the floor
-FLEXED FEET IN JUMPS
That's all for now haha. I'm sure I'll think of more later.
