High School Let's Talk Socks...

I used to wear crew socks to Nationals practices in the winter because they kept my ankles from creaking.

Creaking?

Creaking?

Yeah... Have you ever been too old for cheer, so your ankles make noises when you tumble in the cold? Maybe not?

Lol... the last time my bones creaked I was 13, and it was due to bone spurs. Made walking painful!

Haha, my ankles creak with every single step I take just walking...I don't think that's normal for a 22 year old.

Is there a difference between creaking and cracking? "Creaking" isn't a word we would normally say in this part of the country to describe the sounds that bones make. It sounds weird to me.

Creaking really feels like creaking, you can hear it (at least I can). Cracking feels like, well, cracking.

We do tall crew socks for competitions, but normal no shows for games and pep rallies. I personally like the look of crew socks, it makes the team look more athletic IMO. I've noticed they seem to be making a comeback too.

A lot of the HS teams around here wear the tall socks for comps. Definitely makes them look more athletic.

Agreed, it looks more athletic.

A really big pet peeve of mine is when teams wear the crew socks, but each sock sits at a different level. Put some of that gymnast Butt Glue on your socks to keep them in the same place.

Two of our athletes wear ankle braces that are so high they won't show. We are trying to decide if we should do crew and just have them wear whatever. One back says it's hard to grip the flyer with the crew socks.

I feel bad for Greenup's backspots, they wear slouch socks. They're so cute, though.

I hate the look of long socks and I hate stunting when my flyer is wearing them, I cannot grab her ankle properly and I'm pretty short for a back spot so it's not like I can grab higher

But whyyy? I sound like a 2 y/o but I'm curious.
