Actually, have seen rules changed when enough people demanded it with All Star Cheer.

Huge difference

ETA: USASF has been around a much shorter period of time. In that time, they have established a track record of wishy washy flim flamming and cowering to the high holy priest of the church of the saint squeaky wheel.

AACCA has a track record of a much more deliberate approach. I would say this has been in the works for at least a year. They have the ability to change rules quickly, but only tend to do so if they see a need following a catastrophic injury.

Agree

I wonder if we will now see an increase in participation with Acro/Tumbling. CP is now talking about looking at Acro and Tumbling in college instead of cheer.

The only athlete I could see possibly choosing A&T over college cheer because of the new basket rules is an all girl flyer.

I had an A and T program send me a lot of information around Christmas time including scholarship offerings. The scholarships were comparable to or more than that offered in cheer at similar institutions close to us. I felt obligated to tell my senior girls about them. All five of them and six juniors laughed out loud

I think that number will be very small. Game day is HUGE in college cheer and I don't know of a single A&T program that participates in game days. My CP cheers college (SEC) and her team competes at NCA but I don't think there is a single person in her college program who would tell you that NCA Nationals was the top reason for choosing college cheer over A&T. You may have universities such as Louisville and UK which put a big emphasis on competition, but their game day is still a big part of their programs.
Maybe I've missed it, but I haven't seen any complaints from the coaches who's programs are affected by these rule changes. I realize that coaches probably aren't likely to state things publicly, but even the athletes who are affected by these rules have overall been pretty quiet.

It has to be the kind of thing you really want to do. Cp has a former teammate going to Baylor for it, and another is currently at Quinnipiac. Other than those two though, most of her teammates including cp tried out for cheer teams that included game day if they wanted to continue in college.

Out of curiosity, what do they think is funny about A and T. I do coach it but genuinely interested in the perceptions out there.

They love cheering games. Would rather not be involved than be involved in something they see as “pointless.”

Their words not mine. I’ve done this long enough and at a high enough level to appreciate the athleticism involved. It’s just not their thing,

For my daughter, she has grown up in All Star Cheer. So, it's what she knows and loves. NCA Daytona College Competition is her ultimate goal.

I never made any such comment, so I'm not sure why you quoted me?
