So this topic is not completely related to gymnastics, but looking to see if anyone might have any information as I don’t know where to even potentially begin. My 16 son is a former gymnast- only made it to level 7, always struggled on pommel and ultimately decided to quit 3 years ago and play...

For anyone who is not familiar with this world - the Cheerleading World Championships are taking place this week/ weekend and early next week in Walt Disney World, Orlando. If anyone is interested in watching here is the live stream for the ICU Competition (Countries)...

My daughter's coach told her after state that she received a .1 deduction on her floor routine for "cheerleading". I've never heard of this. I have no idea what the judge would be referring to. Her floor routine is VERY upbeat and spunky and she's make lots and lots of facial expressions during...

Do any of you guys have experience with cheerleading floors being used for gymnastic training too? Our gym has had a few too many arm/elbow injuries and I was wondering if the cheer floor may have something to do with it? It has these soft spots all over. Thanks for any info!

I have previously posted that my youngest DD wants to try Cheer as a sport. Which we will be doing next month. I know Gymnastics scholarships exist, but what about Cheer scholarships? Don't get the wrong impression here, we are not doing sports or any extra curricular activities for...

My DD is on L3 gymnastics team. There are a few girls on her team that do competitive cheerleading too. From what I have read on this site gymnasts shouldn't be coached by cheerleaders & they will learn to tumble incorrectly. I don't know much about gymnastics, but these girls seem to tumble...

Both girls quit gymnastics after Emily even got her tsuk on vault:( Anyway, We started competitive cheerleading about 2 weeks ago with Elite Cheer in Omaha. Emily is going to start as a level 3 jr. national cheer due to not having stunting experience but good news is maybe shoes was the key to...

I just recently began coaching tumbling for an all star cheerleading squad....wow!! A whole new world! I cheered in high school but never like this all star stuff. I'm still trying to get used to the way they have to finish skills compared to the way you would do it in gymnastics. Does anyone...

I am a junior in high school, and I live in a decent size city but none of the public schools have a gymnastics team. My sister is four years older than me and she was a cheerleader. The cheer team found out that she had a little sister who was going to be a freshman and who could tumble, and...
