I believe that if nor cal cheerleaders push them selves hard enough they could make it to worlds this year. Worlds was an amazing experience. its soo amazing to see all of the east coast teams performing. this year i think that more nor cal teams could have what it takes to go to worlds. i think that there could be a cheergyms.com team at worlds either this yr. or next from what i have been reading and hearing Mortions is doing very well this year. Also i think South Bay has a chance at worlds this year. Every team sould set the goal of going. Even not getting 1st place you still get the experience of competing with the best at a top level. So keep working and you will get there. Set your goals high and WORK. Good luck this season and i hope to see some more nor cal cheerleaders at Worlds.
WOW this subject is losin strength, lets get it going again, we need to keep the momentum up for comp season............Go NOR CALI!!! We are so awesome!! yeah BABY!
A bid is a bid....No matter from what company!!! I think we can expect a lot of out of state teams to venture out to the west coast and compete for the bids out here. There are no rules or limitations that say they cant. Texas Lonestar got their bid from USA nats 2 years in a row, I think thats going to start being the trend...see you all on the mat!
Funny how one would think that a gym wouldn't go to worlds if they didn't have a chance to win it. Does anyone realize what you have to do to GET a bid? It's an honor to even win that bid let alone go to worlds where you compete against only the best. Football teams don't go into the playoffs thinking "why are we here, we won't win anyway. Let's just stay home." ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. Worlds is IT, baby. If you're not there, then you're not "there" yet.... Having a negative attitude before you even get a bid will just get you NOTHING.....
I am sorry if i came off negative in anyway. that wasnt the point of the question at all. we all know there are more and less prestigious cheerleading companys. i was simply wondering if teams that are used to geting 3rd and 4th at nca are gonna have the "will" to go to a competition like JAMZ just to win. we all know there are dozens of nca teams that could hang at the competitions on the west coast and probably win. Personally i do not think that those teams will want to go to jamz simply because if they want a bid, i bet they will want it from a 'bigger' company. but thats just me. everyone is entitiled to their opionions
I'm not sure that I agree. I think that it is goign to be a challegen this year. I think that everyone is going to at it this year to get that bid. I don't think that it would matter where it comes from just at it is a bid and the teams that get know what they are doing and are able to fight to try and win or at least taste at 2nd or 3rd palce. You are right about thing though everyone is entitled to their own opioin.
When you all have a contract with JAMZ to attend all of their competitions, will your scores be base on your talent and ability, or will it be on the fact that you have a contract with them and bring them a lot of money???? I have loved the sport of cheerleading sense I was five and it makes me sick to see what it is coming too. I think that Worlds was an awesome thing to create, but not when large gyms can bully their way around with their check books.
I know my daughter works her butt off, she goes into practices when her back is hurting, she's not feeling so well or there are many other activities she could be attending. Yes, she loves it, so I don't even have to ask if she'd rather attend her cousin's birthday. But to imply that her & her team (who also work just as hard while making as many sacrifices) don't deserve the scores they get is just incredibly mean!
I can only hope that you are not an adult, and therefore haven't the full maturity to think about what you are saying or WHERE you are saying it. Many kids of all ages read this message board and don't need to have that kind of garbage put into their heads!
Please remember the rule about "Anonymous Arlene", you don't have to leave your name if you are going to be NICE.
wow,,,,,, I dont' think that person meant that as mean. just was wondering. I don't think that it happens at all but that's no reason to attack that person for wondering if it were true.
I was reading it as someone throwing out a random thought until they wrote, "but not when large gyms can bully their way around with their check books." That statement is negative and is indictative of their true feelings, which is not curiosity(sp?).
I am not sure if this goes on, but I have heard of this before, where big gyms or organizations get higher scores because they write one big check to the organization so to keep them coming back they reward them with good scores. Again, i am unsure if this is true but i have heard it from some pretty reliable sources. If this is not true it's a horrible rumor, but if it is, it's a pretty low thing to do.
