Hello, this is my first post, my name is Melissa, I'm a cheer coach in Switzerland! I'm sorry if my english is not perfect :) My question is, how to be prepared for athletes injuries, when you're coaching in a very small gym and every of your member is already on the mat (if you see what I...

You've been cheering since you could walk ..... Life has been so great and full of glitter & bows for YEARS. Really that's all you know. Sure, you have ups and downs on the floor (your team can't always win, right?) ... But it's ok because there's always another competition. Always next season...

Hey ya'll, So the nerdy ATC side of me is coming out to share some stuff with ya'll. I had a parent/coach ask me about ACL tubes the other day and my opinion on them. Well, when I am asked about things I have never heard of first I get nervous thinking its some crazy thing they found on the...

This has probably been discussed before but i didn't find a thread so i decided to open a new one. I recently came across a parent on Facebook seemingly proudly posting about how their child is practicing with an injury. I have practised with injuries before, but i am an adult and i am learning...

So I do high school and allstar cheerleading! And we had a pep rally two weeks ago at school, and we have a part in our dance where we have to drop straight to the floor with one leg extended out to the side, on the hard basketball gym floor. And I'm really tall, and so the floor is really far...

Check out my daughter's video. It is short, only 2 1/2 minutes and so inspirational!

I have injured my ankle about a year ago. I badly sprained it by just applying to much pressure in the wrong area (similar to rolling my ankle). I never went to a doctor and i tried to ignore it (I know bad idea) and it has healed slightly. Ever since my ankle looks a little misshapen, the only...

Hi, I'm 16 and I just started cheerleading last year as a freshman. Because I was so new to cheer, I felt like I was holding the team back a lot so I began practicing jumps, tumbling and dancing for hours by myself everyday, and got into varsity the next year. This January, all the practicing...

So these past 2 months I have been going to tumbling and when im taking off/ landing for skills like tucks, layouts, and fulls I've been having really severe knee pain. Once I landed & gave it a minute I felt fine. It only hurts on "airborne" skills I guess u could say. It's ok doing skills like...

I have known many girls from different gyms that have gotten hurt/injuries while doing front punches. Is there anything specific CP's can do or watch out for to prevent injuries in this skill?

This is by 538 (started by Nate Silver, one of my favorite statisticians). His job is to interpret data and describe what it means. He basically says cheer isn't nearly as dangerous as been labeled by the media BUT by not being a sport more injuries occur because of lack of funding and...

So latlely my ankle has been hurting. If I point my toe and come back up, it cracks over and over and the top above my ankle hurts. I feel like it is unhinged. I went to the doctor a month ago or so for knee pain and I have hypermobility in my joints... Could that be a factor? Part 2- what is...

My team has had a rough season with girls getting hurt, New girls coming in, and girls quitting. I know that other teams go through it. We have recently had 3 girls get hurt. How do you/ your team stay positive and keep the right mindset?

A girl on our cheer team has hurt her shoulder and cannot stunt. In general are these girls usually replaced or the routine reworked. I dont want to offend anyone by speaking up for a girl that I feel should not be replaced if that is the normal allstar policy. If i ask at my gym it might cause...
