With everything being said on this forum the truth is that the problem with cheerleading is... are you ready... THE CHEERLEADING INDUSTRY! Their are 350 National Championships in a given season in a given area... I once competed for a team that was 4 time national champions in one year... How rediculous does this look to the rest of the sporting world.
The first step to fixing this would be changing cheerleading for ever...
College Cheerleading: The NCAA should be over college cheerleading... NO UCA, NO NCA, NO CHEERSPORT, NO USA. One True NCAA Collegiate National Championship. One set of rules...one scoring system.
High School Cheerleading: Should be governed by each State Athletic High School Athletic Association. Again no UCA, Jamfest, NCA, Athletic or any of the for profit companies.
All Star Cheerleading: Needs to be simplified. If the USASF is to be that governing body then it must move to do away with the 150 national championship events. Instead have 1000's of qualfiers for one National Championship that is not for profit. You can keep all the Jamfest , Cheersport, and NCA you want, however there would be just 1 All Star National Championship.
The other main problem with Cheerleading is the overwelming number of uncompetitive squads. If we could require one competition for each high school cheer squad in the country.. even if it is a head to head against they're crosstown rivals at halftime of the big game...
Cheerleading as we know it will never be a sport. However it wouldnt take an act of GOD to make cheerleading of the future a legitamate sport... Excuse any gramatical errors...
