OT Anyone Not Cheering This Season?

[Abi24]

I quit University and therefore left my squad when I moved out. It's one of the things I miss most about Uni but at the same time I wasn't able to really give what I know I can, every single injury i've ever had and some new ones i'd acquired on the way decided to flare up and give me hell, so it wouldn't have been fair for me to take a competition slot ahead of someone who doesn't come off the mat a creaking, bruised wreck.

There are a couple of squads up here I could go back to, but realistically if i'm going to flare a ton of injuries up, I want to do it at a level I know I suit (4), instead of stepping down to level 2. Also, I was SO lucky to have a very well organised, structured, regularly training squad at university and i'm not sure recreational is for me these days. Once weekly for an hour or so isn't ideal for me.

I do miss it, but it's got to the point I have to put my health first. I don't want to need surgery in a year or two for some damaged body part.

I probably won't be able to cheer this year. I'm trying my hardest to be able to cheer, but right now, my injuries are making it hard. A ganglion cyst, back issues, an ankle that has been messed up ever since I fractured it, and torn ligaments in my leg are what I'm dealing with. Hopefully, I won't have to quit... but you never know. I swear I am the most injury prone person....

Ooops! Just realized that I may have sounded like I was "bragging" about my injuries to get attention. That was not what I intended for it to sound like at all! Sorry!

didnt make the varisty team on my high school team so i joined a level one all star team and i love it im a junior and its sad thinking i only have one more season after this. but honestly high school cheer, at least at my school doesnt even compare to how awesome all star is, i should of done it years ago

I've only not cheered for 15 months now (yes I'm counting) but the cheer withdrawal is KILLER.

I'm cheering but unfortunately my college team does not compete. I will really miss that

Yes yes shimmy! I coach JR 1 at my gym and some of the older girls don't want to continue because it's level 1. I'm trying to make them see that the flash and sass of all star is still there, just not the back handsprings.
