I feel where I live right now everyone wants to "Start an AllStar Team"... One in particular has 10-12 kids who no longer cheer in the school program and have a team that wants to be 4.2.... no gym, not sure where they are practicing, who is training, but it is mom's coaching and I would HOPE they at least have gone to the regional USASF conference for education and also are taking the steps to be credentialed. I do feel from what I hear, it is lack of education on their part and the mindset that anyone can do it, but not in these days of all star cheer. It is so much more involved then "I want to start a team". There are so many programs in the area, some large, some small, that those 10-12 kids could have found a safe home and possibly the coaches could have also coached there... However, now that I am off of my soap box, some form of credentialing is important, can't weed out everyone but at least there is hope of something absorbing.
