Anyone cheering now?

Hi to all of you proud cheer moms out there. It has been many months since I have visited this thread. Right now my DD is in Penn. at her first UCA work week. She made the team a couple of months ago and now they will find out where in New England that they will work. She is so Excited!!She has been cheering for 11 years now. Some with Allstars and her school and now is a SCSU cheerleader. This past January they came in 4th in the National All girl division in WDW. It was very exciting. She has cheered 3 times in Disney and it is amazing. She is also back with her old Allstar Senior Open team so she is now 19 years old and on 3 cheerleading teams. Wow! I am very proud of her but not sure how she will have time to study in the fall. Well we will be back in WDW this Jan. from the 12-15 so maybe we will see some of you all there. Good luck to everyone!!

Tink4ever-Congratulations to your DD!

Thank you and good luck to all of your little ones and coaching. Enjoy it because it goes too fast. I remember when mine started at that age and I used to coach her. Good luck with your teams!

Hi to all you cheer parents!! I just found this thread. My DD just competed at Worlds in the Sm SR division. Her team was put together only 6 weeks before Worlds. They took a chance and competed in Baltimore after being together only 4 weeks and got the paid bid!!! Her regular team was Sm Coed Sm with only 1 boy. Many of her teammates had plans for April so they couldn't just replace him. They held tryouts after we returned from NCA Dallas and put together a new group and new routine!!

They ended up placing 8th!! In my opinion very impressive for being together for such a short time.

Stingrays Sm Sr team is so impressive!! I just love their flexibility and form in the air!! They are so clean and a pleasure to watch!! Can't wait to see them again this year. Most likely in Indiapolis or Dallas!! Unless you decide on staying in your backyard and going to Cheersport.......

Good luck to all the Allstar teams on a successful 2006-2007 season!! Stay safe and have fun!! Hope to meet up with some DIS cheer parents either in WDW (going july 28-Aug4) or at a competiion. It would be nice to keep this thread going with a list of where you'll be competiting.

Cheers to all!!

Any interest in a 'cheer' shirt /sports bra exchange for the girls????

Hello to everyone!
I just happened upon this thread, and I thought I would subscribe.
My DD (8) is an All Star cheerleader, she's been cheering since she was 3. She started her career on a mini squad when we lived in Indiana, and for her 2nd year, the gym went to Orlando (Universal Studios) to compete at US Spirit, and her team won National Champions.(along with many other titles throughout). We moved to South Carolina about 3 years ago, and she has been cheering on a youth/jr.prep team. We just changed gyms (whole 'nother story - not a good ending *except that DD is MUCH happier) and they will be having try-outs later this month.

I would just like to tell everyone good luck for this upcoming season. The moments go by so fast, so enjoy them!! There is nothing better than seeing the smile on your child's face the moment they walk off the stage!

Hey Welcome to the Dis cheer parents thread!!
You are so right there is nothing as cool as seeing the faces of the kids coming of that floor after competiting!!! I LOVE IT!!
What team is your DD on??

 

[momof2dizkids]

Right now, she is at East Coast Stars ( a new gym in Myrtle Beach, SC). Try-outs are scheduled for the end of August. I believe she will either be on the youth or junior squad there.
She was previously on the youth/jr.prep team at South Carolina Spirit (also in Myrtle Beach). That gym just closed like 3 weeks ago, so we had to change.

 

[tnkrbell]

switching gyms must be hard!! I just heard Carolina All-stars just shut down also??!!!! THat is really sad when good teams/gyms close.
Well Good Luck this year although change can be hard it may be for the BEST!!!!!!
Do you know if they plan any compeititons in Florida??

 

[rbuzzotta]

Carolina Allstars shut down? Wow, I thought they were good. They did have a team attend Worlds I beleive in the Sm Sr division!!

Well, our season is just getting underway!! I know we are going to Dallas in Feb!! NOt sure where else we will travel to.

Hope to meet some of you Disney Cheer parents someday!!

Good luck to all the girls/guys cheering for a safe and healthy, happy season!!!

As of right now, our upcoming competition schedule isn't 100% decided upon... I think for our upcoming season, we plan on doing a lot of local (Myrtle Beach) competitions, but, if the opportunity arises, who knows??? We might go to Florida for a competition.
Yes, change is hard, but my DD is WAY happier where she is now. She's even improved in the last few weeks!! At our old gym, it got frustrating because if a tumbling pass or standing tumbling wasn't in the routine - then why practice it? There really wasn't "pushing or encouraging" the kids to get better. (That's why half of the squad was doing cartwheels/forward rolls!!!)

Thanks for the well wishes!!

Hello to all of the cheermoms out there: My DD is a college cheerleader for SCSU and last year in Disney they came in 4th for all girl division. This year she tells me they will be better. So we will be there again for Jan Nationals. She is also a CTspirit Allstar cheerleader and she is on UCA staff. She has been working at a lot of New England camps this summer for UCA and loves it. She has been a cheerleader for 12 years and the funny thing is that I don't know if she will ever stop. Well good luck to all of the cheerleaders out there and maybe we will see some of you at an Allstar competition or College Nationals Jan 12-15, 2007!! Good Luck!!

[Markiesgirl]

My DD is 10 and cheers on a small junior squad for Edge Elite in Indianapolis. We cheered somewhere else last year and waaaaaaaaay too much drama. This is a 2nd year gym and so far we are thrilled. I can't wait until competition season starts!

Anyone coming to jamfest super nationals in January?
