@CheerFessions1 To be honest it is completely fair to think that as great as some of these athletes may be they very well might not be center flyer on the team if their parents didn’t own the gym.
@realcheerjen@CheerFessions1 I think the issue is it was a deduction for them but there was a clear coed fall that wasn’t a deduction for another team in the same division. It has to be the same across the board.
@SEforteal @CheerFessions1 In my opinion this is not a fall and second if there was a deduction for this there definitely should have been a deduction for the fall above. In that case standings would have been completely different.
@CheerFessions1 It really depends on their level and experience as well as how serious they are. ATA LKN, CA Charlotte would be the most competitive lower levels. But I’ve heard good things about the atmosphere at Charlotte Allstar. For worlds it’s going to be a commute
@parkerlaube @emmadoescheer @CheerFessions1 I’m dying lol everyone is killing dance and then there’s these two on the side having tumble practice 😂 I mean if it’s legal it’s legal. Not at all what I envisioned tho
@JAMfestEvents Can we please get some updates on scores or rankings for D2 and lower level teams? All the level 5/6 is posted and nothing for lower levels and D2
@CheerFessions1 I wish more comps and more gyms cared about all levels. Scores and details about everything high level is everywhere but nothing for lower levels
@CheerFessions1 I wouldn’t say ATA is small, they did just add a new location in NC, but yea probably a smaller gym compared to the more well known gyms. They definitely deserve credit where it’s due. They were amazing.
@maddison_wood20@CheerFessions1 Honestly I don’t get the hate for this woman. She’s doing the thing while most her age are vicariously living through their kids. I think she’s amazing
@connorwmommy@gi14929399@CheerFessions1 Its been a long time coming as far as the monopoly varsity has on everything cheer related. I think it will take a while to actually come out from under that as a sport. But agree, it’s needed.
@CheerFessions1 Stop hating on gyms in general. The athletes work hard regardless of the level or the wins for that matter. Not everyone can win every time and not everyone is a worlds level athlete. But they should still be able to do the sport they love without constant negativity
@KarenWynneWLOS@fitsnews@Bakari_Sellers@stromlaw I fully believe that as well. I don’t think this was something everyone knew about and just casually let go and agreed with at all. There were obviously some who did and that’s becoming clear but there are a lot who had no idea and it’s heartbreaking for everyone involved
@KarenWynneWLOS@fitsnews@Bakari_Sellers@stromlaw I think that’s why this was so hard to believe when the rumors were first starting. For the ones that didn’t see it first hand the ones involved were very good at keeping it hidden. I know a lot of people who went there and they are very shocked by this.
@gi14929399@connorwmommy@CheerFessions1 I have been wondering how many events there actually are out there that are 100% separated from Varsity AND USASF. Are there enough legitimate events to actually have a full season for most gyms? As mentioned The ONE and end of season events like it are still USASF
@CheerFessions1 This is true. Some of the worst mental abuse I’ve ever seen came out of a small gym that tried to stay away from Varsity because they overused athletes, didn’t register correct ages, didn’t properly train athletes and wanted their parents to know nothing about how other gyms ran
@CheerFessions1 I think some are assuming that gyms are ready to make a statement or saw this coming but I think a lot, probably most, of the cheer world is having the rug pulled from under them right now. For the most part I think people are blindsided and never saw the magnitude of this.
@CheerFessions1 And for the love of all that is holy stop telling flyers they are big or heavy!!! Those phrases are not appropriate POINT BLANK PERIOD. Bases and flyers alike need to be strong and use good technique instead of constantly depending on having tiny flyers to make it work.
