Have you seen this TV show?
Click PLAY or watch the extended trailer on YouTube.
I’d assumed it was yet another teen drama of very little acrobatic interest. Yet it’s gotten some really good reviews.
Hellcats is an American cheerleading comedy-drama series for The CW starring Alyson Michalka, Ashley Tisdale, Robbie Jones, and Matt Barr. Based on the book Cheer: Inside the Secret World of College Cheerleaders by journalist Kate Torgovnick and described as “Election meets Bring It On” by critics, the series follows the life of Marti Perkins, a pre-law college student who has to join the cheerleading team, the Hellcats, in order to maintain her scholarship.

A good edit posted by GK Elite Sportswear.

Top Gun is one of the best clubs in the world.
Whether or not USA Gymnastics should get hooked up with Cheer is a controversial topic. But everyone agrees Cheer coaches need to improve, their safety standards be set higher. This video helps. Thanks Shawn.

USA Gymnastics sanctions NCATA Cheer
September 3rd, 2010 — cheer, safety
I’m not sure this is a good idea:
Sept. 2, 2010 – Earlier today, USA Gymnastics and the National Collegiate Acrobatics and Tumbling Association (NCATA), formerly known as the National Collegiate Stunts and Tumbling Association, announced that USA Gymnastics will sanction NACATA events. NCATA has the goal of establishing itself as a sport within the NCAA framework.
“This is a natural extension for USA Gymnastics to work with the NCATA,” said Steve Penny, president of USA Gymnastics. “This sport combines many of the skills taught throughout gymnastics disciplines. Currently, six universities have teams in this sport …

Watanabe – advanced bwd handspring
July 29th, 2010 — cheer, floor (men), Gymnastics, Power Tumbling
Naama Arad, like me, was challenged by this Gymnastics Minute instructional by coaching legend Mas Watanabe.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
… My advice to Naama is to consider this an advanced technique. Beginners should perfect long, low backward handspring series first. (Think of a rock skipping across a lake.)
Manjak has gymnasts do many sets of 5 normal ffs every day, for example.
Much, much later you can shape the skill for specific reasons, as Watanable is doing here.

These girls are great. While watching, I had an epiphany:
If Cheer didn’t tumble, Artistic gymnastics coaches would enjoy the sport. Enjoy it as much as Acrobatic Gymnastics.
The turn off for Artistic is dangerous tumbling.
Am I right?
