When the crowd claps off beat.

Pyramids in which the center flyer just stands there and do nothing.

I COMPLETELY agree! if your not going to put a skill in at least do a motion or something! be interesting!

My biggest pet peeve is psycho cheer mom's who think their daughter is 'thebombdotcom' and insist that their child be put on front row of formation. We had one of those, luckily she left our team last night because her daughter wasn't being coddled by the coach.

People who think they are chocolate and better than everyone else... Even though they can't fly... can't tumble... or even base to a high standard!

 

[cheerislovee3]

people at practice who start pulling scorps or scales or stretches during a PRACTICE & they know they will never fly..

omg something that has always drove me crazy is when events or people who sell cheer clothing put the silhouette of a scorpion or heel stretch and they are always terrible! seriously you couldn't get someone more flexible its just a silhouette!! and when flyers get lazy and feel like they dont have to do anything to keep themselves up or when tiny flyers think "oh im tiny i dont have to do anything" you do.

Me and half of my team is guilty of this. hahahahah We call it the "Top girl club".. once you are caught pulling body positions at practice (or anywhere else for that matter..) you are initiated into the club. Me and a girl I cheer with on my allstar team spent 10 minutes at our last school squad practice trying to do 360 ball up tick tocks... we're ground bound unfortunately.

My pet peeve is cheer gyms that are just plain hateful to other programs. I get the whole rivalry thing....but you don't need to be ugly.

I was actually both. My parents made me choose between the two this year. While all star is harder, school cheer is still cheer. On my school team we actually did more conditioning than my all star gym did. Yes, the stunts where easier and so was the tumbling, but it shouldnt matter. What all star does really isnt cheer anymore. School cheer, however, is.

Ohh well then our all star gyms are different. ha

I know I shouldn't hate this, but I'm so jealous-

People who are so naturally talented. Their first toe touch ever is level, they have a backflip in an hour and double down first time. And they don't try at practice to improve themselves further. Like you are capable of so much-USE IT.
