I thought of what I hope will be an interesting question.
What if you or your son/daughter was given the opportunity to cheer on any team of their choosing. For the sake of argument; having no worries whatsoever about cost or travel, what team would you choose for yourself or for your son/daughter and why?
It can be any team in the world...Stingrays Small Senior Level 5, Premier's Large Junior Level 3, Denali's Coed Level 4...whatever team you want.
The only catch is, you have to explain why you think you or your son/daughter would be good for that team. Answers such as "because I love watching that team" aren't quite what I'm looking for. Rather, answers that tell what you think you could contribute to that team and what you would enjoy about your season with that team are more of what I'm looking to hear.

Of Course I would pick Cheer Athletics Junior 5 and Junior 3. Cheer Athletics Por Que you ask?. The results speak for themselves. 1 of my daughters is a Level 5 athlete but she is young and started on a Senior 5 team at age 8. She has taken a break because she did not enjoy being on a Senior team. She wanted to be on a Junior Team.
They are an excellent program and time and time again are featured in magazine and tv showing what an excellent organization they are. I would want a program that has great tumbling coaches as well as choreography and family enviornment. I met some great people at Worlds last year from CA and they just raved about their program. Also a program like that has teams for everyone.
Here in Nor Cal that teams get shuffled all the time because of age and skill. They gym we left had a team for 1 of my daughters my other daughter would have been placed way below the level she should be at because there was no team for her because of age and skill.
My daughters are at different levels and they would have a place at a great program
Cheer athletics hands down for the some of the same reasons cheer mama posted. it is by far one ofthe greatest programs. I have a friend whose daughter cheers there and they have nothing but great things to say about the program. unfortunatley we are limited in the nor ca program s. they have large gyms, but are missing the family atmosphere and the diff level teams. you find our teams compete in levels that they dont and shouldnt be in, but every kid has a place and they put them where they belong.
cheer athletics hands down hmmm wonder how much a flight would cost to travel for parctices lol
I probably would pick Spirit of Texas because their program is classy and it's a small gym which I think is important. Their values seem to be high and discipline is strict. Those are the same values I would want for a child as well as being in a close family environment.
If I could cheer on any team in the nation, I would like to cheer for ACE of Alabama (Braves). I really love everything about their team; colors, the whole tribe theme, uniforms, etc. But the biggest reason why i picked ACE is their choreography. Every ACE routine that i have watched has a really fun to watch, entertaining dance section...and if you know me... you know that i LOVE to dance! :)
Jill since i know you Im not going to let you off the hook so easily...

I've only briefly worked with you through the AA program, but I think I could give you a fair response to you wanting to cheer at ACE.
You can ask me at practice anytime. I won't be sharing it here.
Everyone else...don't forget the catch!
