Every time I refer to A & T as cheer my daughter says "it's not cheer it's Acro"...so that's what I call it now.I'm definitely a fan of A&T, but I'm afraid that people will consider it to be gymnastics rather than comp cheer b/c of the scoring. If people start referring to A&T as gymnastics rather than cheer, we might never get credit for our hard work (sounds kind of paranoid, but that's how I feel).
Edit: "college cheer teams often are focused on achieving a look or a size that doesnt fit student-athletes who wish to develop the strength necessary for a more demanding athletic sport." I got that off of the official NCATA site. I know that UK does that (for practical stunting reasons), but do other colleges do that (I know that some colleges will make the coach/es cut kids that don't fit the look that the school wants)? I hope that the spreading popularity of A&T will stop schools from treating us like disposable marketing tools. And have you guys ever been to a comp that scores the uniform? (For reasons other that safety violation.)
