POWER - They're back once again. Routines are much cleaner this November as opposed to last. I was very impressed with how strong their Sr 5 full ups are this early in the season. I loved their dances especially Sr. Int. Yes rocked the house My only knock is that the voice over of their "chant" seemed distorted and on the low quality side. Great job POWER. Power has been to the show before and it's evident that Power has some outside California connections. The routines are clean and keeps your interest, for sure. however, in just my eye it appears something is still missing. I don't know what it is but the routines need something more. But I can't say enough about the talent at all levels.

ATHLETIC PERFECTION - Funny how everyone seems to forget about this program. They have a way of sneakin up on you. I love their passion on the floor and expect them to really do well this season. Especially their Sr 4. Wow. That one tiny flyer is adoreable! What's here name? Athletic Perfection has always had a presence in my book. It's a solid club and enjoyable to watch.

ROYALS - This gym has stepped it up folks. They really know how to place their teams in the right division. If only they had a coach with some attention to detail. Sometimes what appears to be a mess is really under control it's just being controlled 6 different ways. Their Sr dance team is simply unbeatable. If you're in this division....pack it in. Where are Royals from? You mentioned something about the right divisions. This is interesting. I think they may have a division or two in reverse. The Junior 3 has been 3 for the last 3 years. It's that team that should be the level 4. The senior co-ed needs to drop to the level 3 spot. The one guy tumbler that they have is a great tumbler but for the most part all the other strong tumblers are double teaming from the Junior 3. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
OK CHEER MOM YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. THIS IS A BRAND NEW JUNIOR TEAM NEW GIRLS. THE GIRLS FROM LAST YEAR ARE NOW IN HIGH SCHOOL. HELLO HOW CAN YOU BE JUNIORS FOR 3 YEARS WHEN THEY STARTED JUNIORS WHEN THEY WERE 12 DUHHH... WHY DO YOU THINK YOU KNOW SO MUCH. SOME PEOPLE THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING... IF YOU DONT KNOW THEN DONT SPEAK ON IT. SORRY TO BE RUDE BUT YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WE ARE ON THE JUNIOR TEAM AND WE KNOW FIRST HAND. WHY DO PEOPLE COMMENT ON THINGS THEY DONT KNOW A THING ABOUT...???

CHEERFORCE - Once again it's the Kiara show and let me just say....WOO HOO! Spectators should have to buy an extra ticket and re-enter when Diamonds are on deck. AMEN! Speaking of Diamonds...sweet choreography. By far the best they've ever had. IMO, solid top 3 at Worlds for this team. Jr. 5 crazy good. Rockies very strong and will just get better. Insert Kiara and they place 5 slots higher at Worlds. Can't wait to see them go up against CG AA. I usually don't care much about unis but I miss the Navy Blue :( Gotta agree.   This teams is going to be amazing again this season. The choreography is always cutting else and will be able to compete well against any texas club at worlds.

NOR CAL ELITE - Very good showing. I was happy that they came out strong when everyone was expecting them to implode. My favorite was their Sr 4 I believe Electra from Livermore. So impressive. The two Sr 5 teams have a lot of potential. The Roy factor has definitely left the building :( and I'm not sure that wont really hurt in the long run. We'll see though NCE always surprises and is always up for the challenge. Not sure if the inner workings are good in regards to the merger but on the surface IT"S WORKING. Great job kids & coaches! Fun to watch I concure but a few too many tumbling crashes for me.   Other all had a very good showing. We hear so many negative comments about Nor Cal which simply weren't true. Good for them.

STARSTRUCK - Ok....the large Sr 4 is for real this year. Love the routine, love the skills, love the confidence. As this team gets stronger and adds more difficulty I believe they'll be as good as anyone in the area. Now if we can just get them to crawl out from under the "Jamz Rock" and come out to play a little more often. JAMZ Rock hehe funny but true. Odyssey should do the same.   Clean! Hopefully, then can add more difficulty to their routines as the months progress.

FIERCE - Props to the Sr 5 center flyer who has undoubtedly been recruited by every unscrupulous Southern Cal gym. She is straight up wonderful to watch. The team as whole is out to erase the disappointments of the past 2 years. I believe they're on the right path. Maybe another year or two away from reaching the top shelf but heading there for sure. Love the fierce Dads. Still a hot mess. sorry. Still waiting to see what we saw in 04-05. They are going to be a decent competitor by nationals. I wouldn't count them out.

FAME - Please see italicized portion of Royals critique. Then add time for a hair cut already. That boy is so talented but it's hard to look past juniper bush on his head. Again....not much interested in unis but Fame's are BEAUTIFUL! I like the hair!!!   I really liked them. And the boy, who cares about his hair, he got you to notice him.

ONE ATHLETICS - Hmmmm this may be the future of Sac area cheerleading. Are they gonna give Power a run for their money in any way shape or form this year? Uhhhh nope. But the future could be a different story. Remember when you discovered PF Changs? Not really a need any longer to bother with the inconvenient non english speaking waitresses at the local Fuang Ling Chengs right? On the down side, all of their music was a bit coma inducing. It was tons better than most teams but for the skill level and choreography it was just a bit blah. Cool uniforms.   Who knows if this will be the up and coming gym. Those that jumped ship from power may jump back next season. I think there will definitely be some highs and lows for this club.

ALL STAR ELITE - could they be the cinderalla gym of the season?   They looked good at this competition. And we all noticed the cheer groupies in the crowd - POWER.   ARE YOU SERIOUS?

Side Show: Thank you for over view of the weekend especially the way you presented it.

Smack Talker: What part of this competition did you enjoy?

I have to disagree with Smack talker with regards to AP's Sr. 2 team. They obviously have enough fire power to keep up as they placed second.

Congrats to all the teams who performed this past weekend, you all did a great job!

CHEERFULLMOM · Member

I have to agree with you. People really under estimate AP's fire power. Remeber 2 years ago there Sr. 2 took 2nd or 3rd and every comp. Come National's they exploded and took 1st. This is going to be an amazing season for everyone. I can not believe the amount of talent that was at the Masterpiece comp. in San Jose. Any team can have a bad day so I would never count anyone out.

my3grlz · Veteran Member

I enjoyed watching all the teams! Maybe there's some cleaning up to do but for being this early in the season I thought everyone looked great!!
Good luck to all teams on the next competitions to come!!

Yep, and last year they took first in all but one competition.

If they wanted to be at Power they would be at Power. Not one person came to One thinking One was going to be Worlds bound their very first year. It's all a building process. Don't compare One to a team that's been around for 10 years. When One has 10 years in the industry then you can start putting them in the same catergory.

ALL STAR ELITE - could they be the cinderalla gym of the season?   They looked good at this competition. And we all noticed the cheer groupies in the crowd - POWER.   ARE YOU SERIOUS? This is funny...

I dont like the pants. I saw another team last year wearing them and they are just not pretty on heavier girls.

I always look forward to watching All Star Elite. I'm not a big fan of their uniforms, but they are memorable. What I like about their unis is that you don't notice bent legs as much. It's a nice clean look.

i'm not quite understnading the "problem" everyone is seeming to have with one athletics. as far as their senior 4 team goes they seem like a true level 4 team having all of the required skills. their stunting is strong and solid and in their tumbling they have more than 4 girls throwing the same layout. when in the level 4 division i believe you should display the skills needed to be in that division (not tucks and back hand springs). its level 4. lets see some layouts. and the full squad 2 to tuicks they show are beautiful with a few added 2 to layouts. i don't see why this gym is not getting the credit they deserve. great work ladies. keep it up.

Fun to watch I concure but a few too many tumbling crashes for me.   Other all had a very good showing. We hear so many negative comments about Nor Cal which simply weren't true. Good for them. Spectators and members had no regards for the rules, they stood infront of people in seats, walked in from all sides and not from the back like they were suppose to, doubled up and trippled up many kids. I honelsty thought they were going to be different this year, but same program with different leaders.....

STARSTRUCK - Ok....the large Sr 4 is for real this year. Love the routine, love the skills, love the confidence. As this team gets stronger and adds more difficulty I believe they'll be as good as anyone in the area. Now if we can just get them to crawl out from under the "Jamz Rock" and come out to play a little more often. JAMZ Rock hehe funny but true. Odyssey should do the same.   Clean! Hopefully, then can add more difficulty to their routines as the months progress. This program will not grow unless they leave the JAMZ world...How are your kids suppose to learn what cheer is about when 4-6 competitions you go to are JAMZ???

FIERCE - Props to the Sr 5 center flyer who has undoubtedly been recruited by every unscrupulous Southern Cal gym. She is straight up wonderful to watch. The team as whole is out to erase the disappointments of the past 2 years. I believe they're on the right path. Maybe another year or two away from reaching the top shelf but heading there for sure. Love the fierce Dads. Still a hot mess. sorry. Still waiting to see what we saw in 04-05. They are going to be a decent competitor by nationals. I wouldn't count them out. Coaches need to set a better image for their kids, what most of the coaches wore on day two was not classy for a cheer comp but only to go clubbin!

FAME - Please see italicized portion of Royals critique. Then add time for a hair cut already. That boy is so talented but it's hard to look past juniper bush on his head. Again....not much interested in unis but Fame's are BEAUTIFUL! I like the hair!!!   I really liked them. And the boy, who cares about his hair, he got you to notice him.    Parents acted a little too much like the Raider Nation when they won, storming the front of the stage like raider fans do in their rare few wins. Win with class..

ONE ATHLETICS - Hmmmm this may be the future of Sac area cheerleading. Are they gonna give Power a run for their money in any way shape or form this year? Uhhhh nope. But the future could be a different story. Remember when you discovered PF Changs? Not really a need any longer to bother with the inconvenient non english speaking waitresses at the local Fuang Ling Chengs right? On the down side, all of their music was a bit coma inducing. It was tons better than most teams but for the skill level and choreography it was just a bit blah. Cool uniforms.   Who knows if this will be the up and coming gym. Those that jumped ship from power may jump back next season. I think there will definitely be some highs and lows for this club. TOO MUCH HYPE, NO SUBSTANCE

ALL STAR ELITE - could they be the cinderalla gym of the season?   They looked good at this competition. And we all noticed the cheer groupies in the crowd - POWER.   ARE YOU SERIOUS? This is funny...

hahahah
