I Started Cheering in 6th grade for a rec team about 5 minutes from my house. I did that for two years and then started in 8th grade doing Middle school cheer and started taking tumbling classes to get my flip flop. I'm a strong believer in school cheer being considered as much as a sport as Allstar, but my school's team is a disgrace, to put it lightly. (:
I cheered for my high school freshman year and still worked on my tumbling. I heard about an allstar team close to my house and wanted to do it, but still tried out for my school team sophomore year and forgot about allstar. When i went to the tryout, i was warming up my flip flop and twisted my arm. I spent the night in the ER and found out i tore a ligament in my elbow. The school coaches let me try out two weeks later, but because i couldnt even straighten my arm, jum, or tumble they wouldnt let me on. (it was stupid).
So i was kinda forced into allstar because i wasnt gonna go a year without cheering. The gym only had one senior team, so i was on Senior coed 4 even though i only had level 2 tumbling.
after that year i switched to the gym im at now and i'm on a senior 3 team. I almost have both my standing and running tucks.
Anything you wanna know or need help with? ask me (:
