There are coaches out there TODAY that are stupid enough to have kids on their team that are too old to compete on a Worlds team, and the coaches know they are cheating. If coaches are doing it this year, chances are pretty good that they could have done it last year. Cheerleaders at other gyms are not even trying to keep it a secret that they have teammembers that are over age. I don't understand it, but it is true. I have heard from fellow cheerleaders at three other gyms that are chancing it and competing with over age people. It isn't going to stop and there is nothing that anyone can do.
