by the time you turn 17 you probs want to be at your cheer gym everyday....like if you start on a team at 17?

I've thought about it. And I think YOU should re-read it. I never said there shouldn't be small gyms - we started at one and probably would have never gotten involved in cheer without it. What I said was that small gyms don't HAVE TO have a worlds team to survive. Every debate I've seen on here (yes I was here for the rules one as well as many others) that involves small gyms someone has said that. And I don't think its true. I could name at least 10 gyms on here that have no worlds team, no level 5 team, started as tiny programs and are absolutely flourishing right now. So my argument was that changing the age for worlds shouldn't mean a hill of beans to a small program. If you can't field a worlds team you should still be able to run a gym.
And I'm sorry if you Didn't like my word "cry". I guess I could have just said "say" but I just am tired of it. Every time we talk about not letting younger kids on worlds teams someone from a small gym DOES come on here and say "you're trying to kill the small gym!!!" and it does come off as crying sometimes. No one...I repeat NO ONE...is trying to "kill" small gyms. We're trying to make a sport that is safe and fun for everyone. Like I've said at least a dozen times...if that means small gyms don't have a worlds team its not the end of the world. Small gyms can survive - and thrive even - without going to worlds.
For the record the wording of your post was highly offensive.
This is sort of irrelevant to the thread...I was 12 and in 8th grade..late birthday? so not all 12 years are in 6th grade. i know a girl who is 11 and in 8th grade.
noo...they were saying 12 yr olds were immature..and that theyre six graders?This is sort of irrelevant to the thread...
Haha I got that part. But for some reason I don't think they were too concerned with what academic grade said 12-year-olds are in- this is a cheerleading boardnoo...they were saying 12 yr olds were immature..and that theyre six graders?
? i know! they were saying immature sixth gradeers...Haha I got that part. But for some reason I don't think they were too concerned with what academic grade said 12-year-olds are in- this is a cheerleading board

I saw- gotcha ;)It's relevant though detatched. Something (page 1-2ish?) had been said about 12th graders lifting 60 lb 6th graders (I.e. 12-year-olds.)
I saw- gotcha ;)
Woaah didn't even notice I had that many! Hahah thanks!! :DAnd for taking the time to go back and look, I gave you your 200th shimmy :D
NoI've read some of the other post and another thought came to me. Instead of just having a bottom and top age on senior, why not them on all divisions?
This is what I personally feel like the division should start & stop..
Tiny:3-5
Mini:5-9
Youth:9-12
Junior:10-14
Senior:14-18
I don't know if it will work, but it seems reasonable to me...but i'm just a mom in the cheer world...:)
Care to expand?
