All-Star Random Cheerleading Questions

[Natalia5]

Now, this question may apply to coaches but cheer parent/sponsor/ATM's please chime in. I am the latter BTW, but would you rather see a kid placed on a team with not quite perfected skills just to fill a "flyer" spot for example or just use a cross over? IMO I would go the cross over route. Why? with an athlete with not quite solid skills for that level the routine will need a work around from day one because little Suzie's tuck for example is hit or miss and there is no guarantee it will be hitting by competition season. What do you think? Now, that I have wrote this this may be a question for a coach or coaches.

At our gym, because we are smaller, there are some girls who do not have the level skills but they also cannot be placed on a level appropriate team due to age (we just don't have the numbers). It stinks for maxing out tumbling, but necessary unless you start turning kids away..

So with the new venue at ESPN are there more bids for Worlds and Summit? We know it's all about the $$!

 

[Nothanks]

Summit is for levels 1-5r. So an XS senior 5 would compete all season at competitions separated out in the XS division (if there are enough teams of that size otherwise they would be combined with Small teams) and trying to earn a bid for worlds where they would compete as a small team.

Regular season division has XS and S. Worlds has Small which is inclusive of XS.

We have this too. It can be hard to explain to a pre-teen/teen that in a small gym, placements are sometimes based on age rather than skill.

When teams globe at worlds, are more than athletes given medals? I.e. Coaches and other staff? Question arose from seeing choreographers etc wearing the medals too and just curious as to whether they borrow them or teams get extras?
Also alternates, do they get them?

I know coaches and alternates do. Not sure about choreographers.

At one point I believe there was a wiki on the boards with what you're asking. I could be wrong though.

That style is a "tuxedo bow" there are tons of tutorials online. Just look up "tuxedo style hair bow" then just make it smaller. They are super simple to make it's one piece of ribbon looped so the ends slightly overlap, then cinch and sew, and add center. You can hot glue the part to attach to the shoe first then wrap the ribbon around the center glue into place.

Those are super easy to make. And, since you aren't needing a very wide ribbon, you should be able to get the supplies easily. That is always a concern to me because I live in a very rural area.

A video glossary is in the works and should be available within the next couple months.
