competitive Cheer is awesome

Cheer Extreme from North Carolina founded and coached by Courtney Smith Pope.

There’s no easier way to start a flame war in the comments of this site than by putting Cheer and Olympics in the same sentence.

(avoid the comments on this site, if you can)

Artistic gymnastics people are (in general) very negative about Cheer.

I was too back in the ’90s when UNcertified, UNknowledgeable ‘coaches‘ were dropping unfit girls on their heads doing handsprings.

But this is 2011. The top Cheer coaches and athletes are excellent.
