I totally agree. If enough modern cheerleaders see this they may add a little here and a little there so that a trend to revive old material comes back.
I have LOVED these videos of yours!!!! I hope that you have more of them, i have been watching them all weekend, ever since i saw a link on fierceboard.... Do you have a large collection of these? I grew up in marietta Ohio, and cheerleading-school was strong ther back in the 80's to mid 90's..I had all of these recorded, but lost them in a move about 15 years ago....Made me sick! I love watching these to see what cheerleading was, and how difficult it was back then, and how far it has come!
Illegal in cheering simply means according to the rules of what ever organization you choose to join. Make a new organization and you have new rules. The organizations who dominate cheerleading today have shown they don't really care about cheerleading, and are only in it for the money. If they cared they would create a developmental program to progressively train athletes safely, like the USAG does for gymnastics.
Sherrie, So do I. I am a stunt gymnastics coach of 30 years. My background is competitive acrobatic gymnastics. I have followed cheerleading in that time and have worked with various squads. Regrettably when I try to teach gymnastics technique for partner stunts I have been refused because it is not NCA or some other way. What you see in these videos demand the right technique. That is why I posted them, to remind cheerleaders what they can do.
lopito, If this is encouragement, when I was 48 I competed at the USAG Acro Nationals in a Men's Four because my 19 year old base got his girl friend pregnant and quit. I lost body weight and lifted weights to get back in shape. I tumbled, but did not have to do a round off back handspring. My encouragement is that you can do sports when older, but you have to properly prepare in training.
Yes, I am an acrobatic gymnastics coach of 30 years. I have tried to work with cheerleaders in the USA but they are not interested in year round training which gymnastics requires. Back in the '80's these kids trained year round.
Eighth grade sucks for everyone, where ever you go to school. It is one of the hardest times of life for all people. Hang in there. Life does get better if you make the right choices.
They were very creative with their choreography.

Very astute observation. Those were coaches who understood real stunting.

That was absolutely fantastic. A great example of coaching and tremendous discipline.
The cheerleaders back then are better than the cheerleaders in this decade.
damn all about the ripples, hahaha i think cheer was better back then. they were so together
You also had a great cheerleading team when your mom performed.
No sound ? 😢

Lopito37 - You are watching all my videos! Thanks. If nothing, I hope these tapes stimulate ideas for everyone.
@cheercoach1984
Sorry, I don't have anymore. I uploaded all the routines from that era that I have.
Yes these are todays moms and dads. They did some very cool stuff.
What kind of handle did the pom poms have?
these accents are ADORABLE!!!!!
Tell others from your school about this video. I hope cheerleaders will remember the great routines that began the modern industry.
I always loved that routine. I cheered against them on the Ocean Springs squad.
Absolutely amazing!!!
