Don't take this wrong but 3 concussions and you're still letting her cheer? What is happening to cause these injuries?It's a great question. She was at the girls state basketball tournament cheering. It's wasn't the cheer state tournament. But they don't restrict the skills at those events and they don't have athletic trainer or emergency response teams for cheerleaders. Same response to her as if she was a spectator.
Now that being said. The state and district tournaments are not better. There is not an athletic trainer on site. One competition they ran a girl broke both ankles during the routine. She crawled off the floor they finally helped her off the floor and then the routine continued without her and without any pyramid they still one first because they would have had they not has the injury:(..it's bad. The IHSAA only took over the districts and championship to make money not to help sanction or make safer. If there are standards they are not provided or responding to me with them as I have been asking under the recent circumstances. I'm looking for advice too if anyone has an idea of how to better go about getting them to do something. I've written letters, met with athletic director, met with the district AD. Nothing :(.. It's disappointing for my child and the entire sport here. I'm pushing as many kids to all star that I can
And I agree if his response was his first article it would have been received so much better.
