I head Titan Elite's senior 4 team is moving up to level 5 as well? AChamp?

Titan Elite always has a had senior level 4 team for the longest time and they always do well. I wonder why they never get to level 5?

our senior 4 will remain senior 4 this year... its hard to go level 5 when you loose a lot of older kids every year to high school... as soon as they get their fulls they leave... but we do have A LOT of fulls and a double on our lv 4 but without majority 1 to full you cant max out standing and you need majority doubles or combo to full to max on running... our policy is to put together teams that can max out on ALL areas of the score sheet... we could go 5 but we want to be competitive

this thread is what gyms will surprise us, if you want to toot your own horn do it somewhere else, I'm sort of sick of people talking about the same teams over and over.

Agreed like I always say this is a cheergyms, power, airborne, california, cheer force, and nor cal elite board. Seriously thats the same gyms they always talk about. Now one athletics is the new hot gym, cause of alot of Power coaches/athletes so they will be in the mix. Sad cause so many other programs are just as good but get no love on here.

A lot of the hype these gyms get on this board is generated by themselves. I can name about 3 or 4 gyms that are infamous for doing this. Sorry I think One Athletics is the latest example of the self hype I'm referring to. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong promoting yourself, but when it gets to be overkill it gets old fast. Also I can't help but think your setting yourself up if you don't live up to all the hype, especially since they have never even competed yet. I wish them well but that's a lot of expectation to live up to. There are a lot of good gyms in this area that don't get mentioned. I think it can be a good thing because you stay out of the drama.

If you want to talk about other gyms that are just as good, do it! No one is stopping you. I'm so sick and tired of hearing people complain when they are just part of the problem.

I can not possibly come up with a gym that will surprise me this year because if I did then clearly it would not be a surprise. Which is why I think this thread is very similar to the "Toot your own horn" thread.

I do have to say that I love Airborne recently being added to the "always talked about" list. It was just last year that they weren't one of the ones included. Good job Airborne! Which only goes to show that it can happen.

I honestly don't know why this persons post would upset you so much. What she stated is obvious to most people, and his/her opinion. Also maybe this poster and quite a few others who read this message board don't feel the need to say TOOT YOUR OWN HORN as much as some members of other gyms do and let what happens on the competition floor speak for itself. I also agree it's nice not to be included in all the drama.

Perhaps if you read their post, you would realize they were not coming from the angle of being happy not to be included in all the drama. In fact, quite the opposite. They stated that there were other gyms that were just as good and it was sad those gyms were not discussed on here. Well, if that's how they feel, then discuss them. It's just that easy to change it. Stop sitting by and complaining about the way things are while doing nothing to alter it.

awww, love Nor Cal Elite, I think they'll be even stronger this year. I will agree with the last post though about Northern CA gyms in general, we do hear a lot of hype year after year and it doesn't always materialize. Let's make this year different. Hope to have more than one gym in the top ten at Worlds, really be competitive with our friends in southern CA.

All of the best tumblers, flyers left NorCal gyms went to SoCal...maybe the NorCal gyms need to invest in better coaching and bring them back

i dont think it has anything to do with the coaching..
i think its just the cheerleaders that left feel that they will be better suited on a higher level team because of the skills they have

like when a lot of guys went to CA its because they have amazing skills and should be on a team where they can show them off

This last post gave me a really good laugh. 'It's just that easy to change it. Stop sitting by and complaining about the way things are while doing nothing to alter it.' Your kidding right???

I think some feel afraid to post about their gyms in fear of negative comments. My daughter cheers for a smaller gym that does not get mentioned very much on this board and we like it that way. When we did get some compliments the negativity was not far behind. I was really shocked when someone made a personal attack against one of our coaches. Its like why and where did that come from??? I guess when you can post anonymously some people feel free to say anything no matter how hurtful. Our gym has requested that we dont post on this board, so I mostly lurk and choose not to reveal what gym we are associated with. As far as certain gyms being mentioned continually I agree its true. In the case of Power, Cheer Force, and CA, and Cheergyms (Say Cheese). I think its because they are just good. Others like Airborne and NCE have continued to impress everyone and of course get mentioned as well. I also agree there is quite a bit of self promotion going on. Just read through some of the messages posted and they are easy to spot. There are a few gyms that seem to do this quite a bit. Mostly I roll my eyes and chuckle ... I have seen some gyms mentioned with post after post on how great they where, and I know I went to the same competition, but did I see the same routine as everyone else??? Ive seen other gyms mentioned and get blasted. I hate the drama that goes on sometimes; its like come on who really cares. Last season there where quite a few teams (gyms) that I liked ... They didnt always get there names mentioned but I liked them they are Swat, Cheer Xplosion, Airborne, California Spirit, Strarstruck, and yes Legends Senior 3 team blew me away. I also like Riptide they did great last season and Im anxious to see what they bring this next year. I wish everyone good luck and Im excited to see everyone compete.
