^Yeah. There are schools who have like the "who's who" of every team in coed and large senior. That's a ton of talent. It's just rough when EVERYONE is as awesome as you are.

If we are talking about the same girl then I think she tried out for a different college team just the other day. Since we aren't naming names I could be waay off if I am disregard this haha.The girl I was referring to is truly a strong all around cheerleader with excellent technique. She definitely is not a one trick pony. As mentioned above their school must attract talent like crazy.
I'm guessing she didn't make it because she might not have been up to par with the game day skills.
I heard about this individual since a couple of my oldest CP's all-star and school cheer friends also tried out at that university (they didn't make it either). I don't even know the name of the individual so I don't know anything specific and I am talking in generalities. Even though a candidate may have a Worlds medal (or 2 or 3) and may have been a high school cheerleader for all 4 years does not always translate into an all-around college candidate. There are cheerleaders that have all 4 years of school cheer and several years of all-star experience but still are not sharp in their motions and do not have that game day "performance" or the "look" that the college is looking for. There is a cheerleader from our gym that had level 4 skills that beat out candidates that had elite level 5 skills because she had that something "extra" that out-shined the others.The girl I was referring to is truly a strong all around cheerleader with excellent technique. She definitely is not a one trick pony. As mentioned above their school must attract talent like crazy.
I'm almost sure that Britni Love made it, I hope I'm right!does anyone have a picture of the list posted for who made Louisville all girl/coed or UK?
Yeah, BL posted a Twitter photo of herself with a guy trying out... is this the last tryout day?^^^^Pretty sure that UK is still going on.
Last day is today. Didn't start til 2 I think. I have a private lesson kiddo participating.
UL concluded yesterday I believe.
^^^^I think there are people who would agree with that, but when everyone has ball ups and perfect motions, you can be significantly pickier, no?
My biggest advice is to start EARLY with college prep. Like, not wait til junior year to start thinking about what programs you want to try out for, and what skills you'll need.
Ex: If you wait til junior year to decide you want to go to UK, you're already behind. Take advantage of any clinics/camps offered. If not, you're playing catch up, because there are kids who have been attending UK clinic since early HS.
It could also come down to numbers. Teams only need so many tops (for example, 6 on my team). If they were good, but 6 others were better in the same position, it doesn't matter if they won Worlds.
