Gary Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 You can see them in action at the peace cup at half time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightsamericancheer Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 You can see them in action at the peace cup at half time! I hope so, Gary. This rain today has me worried, though. We can't stunt or tumble in the rain or on wet ground. Thanks, Legion. The photos are on my web site, so I will try to add some here. Yaaayyyy!! It works, of course they're huge. Sorry, I don't know how to shrink them. Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightsamericancheer Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Wow great pictures. Never thought youngsters were so energetic.stt Thanks! Our kids are amazing. They really love what we do and they really work hard at it. Jake was extrememly brave to go out and do a solo routine infront of such an enormous crowd and the girls were incredible-- they have never peformed in front of more than say 50 people. The girl who is actually in the air in two pictures (this is called basket tossing) is 8 years old. The girls who threw and caught her (her bases) are 9, 11, 11, and 12. This kind of thing takes an enormous amount of structure and discipline to teach. I am a stickler for safety and skills progression, as well as age appropriate skills. That's why it has taken us so long to compete. I won't take them out until they a) can do what they need to do safely and will walk away proud of their efforts with a sense of accomplishment. These girls took 3 out of 5. The top two teams had higher level skills that we did, the other teams did as well, but suffered deductions due to falls and/or wobbly stunts. I played it safe this time doing only what I knew they could pull off even with the nerves and we had no deductions. Not a single point! That in itself is a major accomplishment. Stunts can and often do wobble, even if they have been perfectly still for months of practice. I also threw in a picture of our senior team at the church fete. This team is made up of girls and boys ages 13+. It is a small team of only 13 kids, but we are hoping to change that this season. This team probably struggles the most during this time with holidays and summer jobs, but they are still working hard at it. I hope to bring at least one stunt team from their group to compete soon. I'll keep you posted. Unfortunately, the wet pitch kept up from performing yesterday. The kids were very disappointed, but I do plan to bring them out to another match in the near future. We are starting the new season now (new routines, etc.), so I have opened up registrations again. If any of you are interested or know someone who might be, please get in touch or pass on my details. As a non-profit organisation, there is very little advertising money, so we rely mainly on word of mouth. Thanks! Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
