thoughts on changes?

Hi All, I received an email about the link below in regards to cheer music mixes and potential changes. Has anyone else heard about these changes...if so, thoughts? Concerns? Input? Anyone else nervous?! All Star Music: What Is Happening? - CheerSounds

is it just a rumor that variety or usasf put out a rule for the 2016-17 season restricting original copies of music in cheer mixes because of copy right??

Do they follow all the typical USASF rules, specifically with regards to crossovers from full year to prep teams?

I coach an elementary school level 1 team and the principle does not want us going to prep because she fears its too dangerous. The kids have a competition coming up and I know that they may not score high if they do not go to prep at least once. I though about making them go o prep while on...

I just want to check that I am reading into this correctly!- Level 3 pyramids E. 'Exception: twisting mounts and transitions to extended skills are allowed up to 1 twist. If connected to at least ONE brace at prep level or below and at least one Base.....' Does this mean that a full up in...

I haven't ever been a fan of kids going out on the floor with casts or hard braces, because I can't imagine it's safe for the person wearing it, or anyone who might come in contact with it. I thought the new USASF general rules addressed it, but in reading the actual rule it isn't overly clear...
