I concur. I wish my CP would talk to me sideways about hair or makeup. She already knows the last thing I want to hear at 5am on competition day is hooting and hollering about her hair.

Basically a sport derived from cheer without actual cheering.. Head to head competition with quarters and whatnot. Fits title 9
s description of a sport
I completely agree that it could be something happening at Suzy's Mom's Barnyard Allstars. I also think appearance could be a deciding factor at gyms where the talent level is so high that everyone is on an equal playing field. When you have 32 out of 36 girls throwing standing to double with above average technique, something has to play a part in who goes where in a formation.
I'll use Orange as an example, even though I know they don't operate this way. Every single girl on that team could be front row jumpers at any other gym in the country. Someone has to be back row, someone has to be front row. When the talent level is so high and so similar across all team members, it certainly wouldn't surprise me if appearance played a part in deciding who goes where.
I thought the same thing. I had to watch actual videos of the game to understand it fully. I would assume they want STUNT to be a sport because it's basically competitive cheer molded to fit Title IX, making it a sport, so it gets the funding/training/safety that it should.call me stupid if you want, but i dont get why this is so different from what is already college acro and tumbling. i get why people do and do not want allstars to be considered an actual sport, but im confused as to why they would come up with this STUNT sport all of a sudden. then again the video doesnt do that great of a job going in depth about what it is to begin with.
I'm pretty sure STUNT was just Varsity's response to A&T because you know, they don't like when other people take over cheer lol. So a couple years ago when A&T popped up to give cheer something that could become a sport at the collegiate level, STUNT came shortly after. So they're kind of the same thing I think, just different people running them.call me stupid if you want, but i dont get why this is so different from what is already college acro and tumbling. i get why people do and do not want allstars to be considered an actual sport, but im confused as to why they would come up with this STUNT sport all of a sudden. then again the video doesnt do that great of a job going in depth about what it is to begin with.
Having a child interested in high glitz pageants, I always say, while every cheerleader/dancer/gymnast , isn't a pageant kid,every pageant kid is a cheerleader/dancer/gymnast.

I disagree.I don't believe that any successful team is placing kids in formations by appearance. I'm sure there are gyms out there that do it- but those are gyms that are probably going to close within a few years. It sounds like something that would happen at Janktastic Allstars. All that coach is doing is setting themselves up for failure.
Ok just kidding I should of read the last page before I posted! Didn't even know there was a last page.This is the only way I can see it making sense. If Suzie and Sally are both 100% equal across the board in skills and performance ability, then I can see making a decision based on who looks most put together. Otherwise, putting Sally in the front row because she's "cute" and tan even though Suzie is stronger is just stupid and a big red flag. I have never even thought to choose formation spots based on the appearance of the kids I coach, except maybe trying to balance out height in a formation based on the rows they've already been put in based on skill.
