It's sad to see that some people don't look at these athletes as a part of a team. SIZE? what about SKILLS? Some of these smaller younger ones are much more determined and competitive than bigger older people. Especially on a WORLDS level team it's not even only about the skills. There are not only physical but mental exercise that goes on through out the season. I think it's not about what looks good. It's about WHAT WORKS. If you were an actress, or even a dancer I can agree. But I consider CHEER as a SPORT and SPORT shouldn't have anything to do with looks. Well, I take that back, CHEER does have a lot to do with looks, but LOOKS shouldn't be the main thing. I do appreciate the coaches. It is not an easy job to put together a team where there are many many things to consider.
So then why limit worlds to 12 year olds and up? We have some wonderful 9 year olds on our Youth 5 that I am sure we could do some absolutely crazy stuff with?
