I just don't understand where all of these new rules came from all of a sudden like this.
Based on everything i have been reading on twitter, facebook, etc. NOBODY knew these rules were coming out. And i read a LOT of the big dogs in the all star world are furious. how can this even happen?
I am very curious about this also as a USASFgym member, why was I not notified of these upcoming changes? And I thought only ages could change between the 2 year rules changes? Also why the heck can't someone raise the Tiny age to 6??????
 
USASF is so pathetic. Let me tell you something about USASF. We were best friends all of my all star cheer experience. I know, right? It's so embarrassing. I don't even... Whatever. So then I started competing standing fulls and bounding passes through to doubles that were totally gorgeous but then USASF was like, weirdly jealous of them. Like, if I would blow USASF off to compete the skills I had, USASF would be like be like, "Why didn't you compete a backhandspring before you double?" And I'd be like, "Why are you so obsessed with me?" So then, for my birthday party, which was an all-girls pool party, I was like, "USASF, I can't invite you, because I think you're holding me back." I mean I couldn't have a USASF staff member at at my party. There were gonna be cheerleaders competing their actual passes. I mean, right? So then my mom called USASF and started yelling, it was so retarded. And then USASF dropped out of school because no one would listen to the dumb rules they posted and USASF came back on March 28th to post new rules, and all of USASF's hair was cut off and USASF was totally weird, and now I guess USASF's on crack.
favorite post ever!!!
 
A lot of girls from WCSS support these changes because their coach is on the USASF board. I respect their dedication and trust to their coach, but if i was them and had worked so hard to gain their skills i would be so upset.
And the girls on suns, starlites, and the boys and girls on Ody have many of these skills as well. This is not good
 
Some one said something about 'natural hair' I did not see that anywhere? Can some one show me the link?
 
I know this is a lot to take in at one time, but i assure you that the show will go on. in 2005 rules were released that we were no longer allowed to do doubles in college cheer, rewind full ups and a few other things. At that time everyone swore the sky was falling, and the future of coed stunting was in jeopardy. that rule about full twisting rewinds affected a very small percentage of us. at the time only the top 2 or 3 teams in each division had anything close to a majority of double fulls. the rules are made based off of things that happen. USASF, Varsity and everyone else quoted in this thread dont sit around trying to make your lives miserable. something happened, and they had to act. none of us are lucky enough to be on the board or able to sit in on the meetings, so arguing that they made the wrong choice is a little one sided. I know in 05, it was based off of college cheerleading not having insurance if things werent changed. if they didnt pick something, we would have lost it all. remember, were all on the same team. usasf varsity etc have quite a bit more invested into the future of cheerleading than most people think about. remember it employees thousands of people, and their interest is to keep it going, even though sometimes rules come out people dont like.

on a seperate note. has anyone ever stopped to think about what unlimited skills do to an athletes body? cheer is the only sport in the world without an off season. so imagine a very talented 10 year old. they learn a full, they learn a semi janky double and keep working. they will throw tens of thousands of these over the next 8 to 9 years with no significant off time for their body to heal. if theyre lucky they make it the entire career without an injury, but the damage has been done. maybe its because i am a parent now, but sometimes you have to help people from doing things you know are going to hurt them.

in the end, it will all be ok, creative teams will still be creative, and cheer will go on. you too will love it again, this is just a big fight between you and your love is all.
It may not go on for international teams though!
 
just saw a tweet about kick double baskets? where is this from..
not sure if this is what you saw, but one of the changes was to take kick doubles out of youth 5......while also eliminating restricted youth 5, and instead applying restrictions to youth 5 across the board
