We need to fix ourselves and our expectations for our CHILDREN.
Honestly, I think that USASF should restrict the rules at least for a couple years while they figure out how to get to the root cause of the problems. I do believe coaches should be certified to the level they are coaching for stunting and tumbling. I have said that a million times. For every one coach at Rays, or CA, or wherever that coaches proper progressions, there are 4 coaches at Suzie's allstars that decided to coach allstars after coaching 2 successful seasons for Pop Warner, and don't have any idea how to get that 7 year old on their J3 team to do a proper full down. "Just spin!". Out of an extension of course. They just need to rein in for a bit. Allstar cheerleading was turning into a pure spectacle in the eyes of the public. Conditioning should be emphasized, as should execution.
For every rule that was implemented yesterday I have heard someone complaining on this very board about the problem that the rules were designed to fix. Janky tumbling, unsafe progressions, fetus flyers, hoochie uniforms....
These new rules do not stop "janky" tumbling nor does it stop young flyers. It punishes the majority of us that do things right.
And hoochie uniforms???? Who made you the moral police??!! Why should your overly prudish views be what we all have to live by??!!
