All-Star Random Cheerleading Questions

There's a gym near us who claims they just went over 125 athletes so they are now competing D1 even though they already had several D2 at large bids. Reading that, it sounds like they shouldn't have been able to do that?

Based on the following, it appears they would have to change to D1 if they now have more than 125 athletes.

Who is eligible for the D2 Summit?
Gyms must be Division II eligible (125 athletes or less) when they receive a D2 Summit bid and must remain Division II eligible (125 athletes or less) when they arrive at the D2 Summit. Upon arrival they must provide a current USASF Qualified Roster showing that they are a Division II Program. Please visit the USASF to find more on how to qualify as a D2 program. Once a program goes over 125 athletes they will no longer be considered Division II and must release their D2 bid. These programs will be considered ineligible for D2 bids for the remainder of the 18-19 season.

If your roundoff foot is left, you twist left. If your roundoff foot is right, you twist right. There are rare exceptions where people roundoff in one direction and twist the other way, But that tends to cause mayhem. My brother is a roundoff right twist left and he almost trips himself[/QUOTE

My granddaughter had a hard time getting her full because she is a flyer. She was taught to twist one way in a stunt and another way for her full. I guess it depends on the tumbling coach. All of the flyers at her gym are taught this way. When it finally clicked her full is so pretty.

Can someone explain to me the age differences between international and regular teams? I've read the wording and for some reason I cannot figure out how much older you can be on say an international junior team. Does the birthday deadline just extend from August to December of the same year?

What exactly is "club cheer"?

What exactly is "club cheer"?

Like at a college? It's a team that isn't associated with the school's spirit department (doesn't cheer at games or make appearances like the school's team). Usually clubs are formed by students themselves. Think of it like any other school club. My college had a club team for just about every sport (soccer, basketball, lacrosse, baseball, cheer, etc). Some people will try to join/form a club cheer team if they just want to compete and don't necessarily want to cheer at games.

I saw Club listed on a comp schedule this weekend too. I think they were using it instead of the term "rec"

Club could be referring to the Global Club division in Intl, where there is a cheer before the routine portion. New division this year.

The differentiation is usually Rec you cheer for a sport for a full season as well as compete, Club you just compete. It's how they separate at NHSCC for Rec/club. To be rec you have to provide a notarized letter from club president that you cheer for a sport.

So a local YMCA team would be considered a club team?

Random question: I see Majors has juniors this year. If you're on both can you crossover from a J5 to a Senior team at Majors or do you have to pick one? (Ex: if I am on Rays Green and Orange.)

If they don't cheer for a sport and only compete than yes, club.

What you are saying makes sense. Unfortunately the EP's are not all on the same page yet. The comp we are going to this weekend has divisions listed as "performance rec" and "traditional rec" No "club" division is listed at all.

If a World's bid is passed down is the team who receives the bid tied to the roster they had when the event was held (competition in early December for example) or the roster when they receive the bid (late January in this case)?

I know that 5 Worlds athletes can crossover to a Summit team. But is that for each team - so 5 athletes from your Worlds team compete on a level 4 and a different 5 compete on a different level 4? So 10 worlds athletes from one team on two different Summit teams, if that makes sense?

It is 5 per Summit team. So what you mention would be fine.
