High School Non-mount Question

[dat.jpp]

I know it means no stunting, but why? Non-mount teams don't know how to stunt or...?

Some team are exceptional at tumbling and want to win titles without having to worry about hitting any stunts.

The situation you described is more often the case for non-tumbling teams, since tumbling is much harder to acquire than building skills.

Oh I thought most teams do it because 90% of the athletes on the team are "big and tall" and they don't want "big" people flying. Anyway, THANK YOU!

Are there still ground bound states? That used to be a reality. Not so sure anymore,

Not a whole state, but Ohio has a large contingent of teams in its non-mount division and a number of their non-mount teams place well at UCA.

Many conferences in Ohio require their squads to remain ground bound, I know that was the case with mine.

There not allowed to stunt at games. I don't know about pep rallies and homecomings.

I'm fairly certain Nebraska can't stunt or do tumbling above a backhandspring.

I just looked them up online. They have two cheer divisions, one of them labeled non-tumbling. Presumably, the other division can do some kind of tumbling. I didn't look much farther than that, though.

I wonder if non-tumbling teams are more prevalent in more rural areas due to a lack of tumbling facilities.

ETA: I couldn't leave it alone. They are all "non-building" divisions.

I haven't been part of NCA for two summer now, but when I was on staff, no Nebraska schools could stunt. But that definitely could have changed since then.

You caught me before I caught my error and changed that to "non-tumbling"

No stunting at all, anywhere in our school system due to a 30 year old lawsuit a girl got hurt and stunting was banned as a part of the settlement.

Is your school in the non building division? There are some very talented teams who do it at nationals.

Thirty years later, with new rules in place, you would think someone would have the good sense to challenge that ruling.

Yes, but that would take money to go to court...
