I've read so many comments from gymnasts talking about how brutal gymnastics conditioning is, how cheer conditioning is much easier, etc., and I'm curious. Especially for those of you upper level gymnasts. What is it like?
@gymnastyetafanofcheer maybe you can explain?

One of the great things about being an athlete before turning into a coach, is that you really get a first hand experience of the sport; the whole feel of it.
In my opinion, this experience is invaluable as it has given me a tremendous amount of insight...

Hi,
I am trying to help my just turned 6 yr old daughter make a decision between cheer and gymnastics team. She began taking gymnastics around age 3 1/2 or so. The gymnastics gym had a Preschool ages 3-5 group. She loves gymnastics, but this past year when she turned 5, I decided to let her...
Hi, we are new to competitive cheer. Our daughter was a lvl 9 gymnast and decided she wanted to have more social time, but still do a competitive sport. The hardest thing for us is she is on a lvl 5 team, and I feel as a "NEWBIE" so much pressure. Most of the moms have been involved many years...
This article popped up on my Facebook thread and I just love it!! Two olympic gold medalists that got injured DUMBING DOWN their routines. I think this article is great and needs to be read by the USASF committee members who keep trying to eliminate tumbling skills. Thoughts??

My CP has a friend that does high level gymnastics. I asked her if her goal was to do gymnastics in College. I was surprised when she told me I am going to do gymnastics all through high school, but plan on trying out for a College Cheer team. She has no cheer experience, but is an amazing...
Figured a spin-off thread would be preferable, considering it IS an Olympic year and I know how many of us are gymnastics fans.
SO- US Secret Classic was today. Thoughts?
Personally, I'm a bit disappointed with the routines overall. I'm also amazed at the depth of talent that the American...

Cartwheels, splits, handsprings and tumbles are all in a day's practice for today's cheerleaders, whose fierce athleticism belies the old stereotype of popular girls waving pom-poms. Experts say cheerleaders these days are likely to be every bit as fit as the teams they're...
I have to write a paper/article for my creative writing project and the theme I got was Sports. I want to do on a piece on the similarites and differences of gymnastics. Considering I haven't done gymnastics since I was 4 I really don't remember what the atmosphere and was like and stuff like...
So I just came across this special on TV that is ice skating and gymnastics routines performed in fun costumes and surrounding Pop Singers....
I found a few things interesting. I am obviously a coach and not a younger and super cool cheerleader, so i have a few questions....

Our All Star Gym offers quality cheer & gymnastics. My girls are blessed to be able to take both from our gym. Do any other gyms out there do this? Does anyone else balance cheer and gymnastics? What are your thoughts on it? We love it. I think the two sports compliment each other very well! :)
