Sad that cheerleading ends after school and that it isn't recognized as a competitive sport post college. These kids put so much into training, and then it all drops off. Could be an incredible sport for them to build careers in post college if they had that opportunity.
I never realized the effort that goes into cheerleading. It’s crazy to think some of those flyers are actually putting their lives on the line going out there.
I think it should be, if this went to the Olympics I'd actually watch them. The athletism and team work is insane. These girls & guys deserve medals and far more recognition and respect for their sport. If this isn't sport I don't know what is!
Just a guess, but it's probably not existant after college because they train so hard all their lives that their bodies are pretty much drained after a certain age. I'd say that past the age of 25, the body just can't handle the constant stress and pain anymore, the performance drops and the injury rate goes up. Not saying that you can't cheer anymore after that, just not on the same level these college kids are at.
forget the cheer, forget the dance - this is hardcore high level gymnastics performed by some incredibly talented athletes. This needs to be renamed and put in the Olympics.
Not sure if you know this but gymnastics is already in the olympics. Cheerleading isn’t cheerleading without the cheer and dancing, and it deserves a place just as much
I do have to give it up to that second girl who fell, something weird happened midway through her pass that messed her rhythm and footing off but she stuck with it and almost completed the pass even though she was way off. She may have fell but she saved it from being a LOT worse with her determination.
cheerleading should be an Olympic sport.. especially if gymnastics are?? Confuses me how gymnastics are & cheer isnt.. cheer seems to be a mix of gymnastics, dance & so much more!! Nothing against gymnastics but like.. whyyyyyyyy isnt cheer in the damn Olympics already!! Its 2020!!
The Olympic Charter indicates that in order to be accepted, a sport must be widely practiced by men in at least 75 countries and on four continents and by women in no fewer than 40 countries and on three continents. ... These rules have kept chess, automobile racing, and other recognized sports out of the Olympic Games.
they got a second because the blonde boy broke his ankle and had a hard fall they automatically don't count that and they judge based on the performance before the fall excluding the fall, they let them warm up and have a second try because it wouldn't be fair to judge them because of the harsh injury
Monica you are an absolute inspiration. As a therapist in DC I know that what you are doing is not just changing lives but building generations of heroes. And you are one....
The girl at 4:03 is an absolute POWERHOUSE of a performer. Does anyone know her name? Her performance gave me chills, especially as the middle flyer. Of course, she has insane technical skill (they all do), but her power, enthusiasm, expression, and fearlessness moves people in a way that can't even be fully be described. THAT is what the best of cheer is all about--making the crowd feel powerful, making them feel pride for their team, and in awe at the greatness of people. Cheer is pride, passion, culture, unity. She makes me feel powerful, and I am at awe in the power and fearlessness of human beings.
Kris I Her name is Clarissa Morales!! Her instagram is clari_sa 😁 She’s an amazing flyer & cheerleader! I cheered with her in high school and she’s always been such a hard worker, i’m so proud of her for coming this far
*MONICA WAS DEFINITELY MEANT TO BE THERE FOR THESE KIDS!* ❤️💪 *I don't think anyone could have done a better job.* *Mad respect for cheerleading... because it's not just about looking cute, cheering, & pompoms.* *IT'S SOME SERIOUS....* 💩
So, is it only Navarro and Trinity competing against each other every year? Or are there other Community/junior colleges - we just don't hear about them? I'm here and curious after CHEER on netflix :)
Navarro and Trinity are in the same division. So whoever wins get National Champ. So once they get that title all the National Champs compete to get Grand National Champ. But they don't really compete for Grand.
I think junior colleges have their own category, so there is always a junior college winner but then there is also a grand champion category which is all colleges combined, so it’s possible to win the JC category but not the overall category but also possible for them to beat all the colleges including 4 year if they take the grand champion title.
It was over all a OUTSTANDING routine but you can tell that they struggle a lot with tumbling I watched it one time and out of the corner of my eye I was at least 3 tumbling falls
Is the competition here broken up between universities and junior colleges? Navarro is a junior college, so anyone can get in with a hs diploma. They're basically pulling the best of the best around the country for this team and you would have to enroll in at least a class or 2 to be eligible as a student. I'm just wondering cause navarro being a junior college gives them opportunity to pack their roster; kids can come specifically to cheer for a year or so, while other colleges have to rely on who gets accepted at the college. If the divisions are seperate though, I dont see a problem. If they aren't, doesn't that seem a little unfair? And community colleges involve less studying. Idk it just seems like this would be an extreme advantage
Anna Leigh No they’re about the same, but since you’re working for a degree that’s considered “higher” your professors are going to want more from you. Also community colleges in Texas are big on not overwhelming the students.
Im sure your tumbling has no errors 100% of the time. America has seen her do tumbling 5x harder than this one. She made a mistake, BIG DEAL. I know it’s a big deal for this snobby perfectionist of judges, but in the real world and how they grade is so unrealistic.

I think it's because it's not a sport.

I‘m here after netflix series “cheer“
Cheer*
Saaaaame
U finally changed it lol
NyxX // Sofmethod I changed it 1 week ago 😅
me too i thought i'm the only one
After watching the show all I can think of is how much pain most of them are in during this. Beautiful, but ouch!
forget the cheer, forget the dance - this is hardcore high level gymnastics performed by some incredibly talented athletes. This needs to be renamed and put in the Olympics.
Yes, lets get the chinese and russians compete and make it a world sport.
I mean, the cheer and the dance are the crucial parts of cheerleading. lol
Not sure if you know this but gymnastics is already in the olympics. Cheerleading isn’t cheerleading without the cheer and dancing, and it deserves a place just as much
Cheerleading is part gymnastics and dance though…having to do those things in a 2:30 minute routine is what makes cheer a sport

Netflix brought me here but Monica made the Netflix show must watch TV. I binge watched the whole series in one night.
this was the year that broke monica- those 2 falls never happened in practice 🤷🏼♀️ just shows you can never truly be prepared
i only saw one tumbling bust. there was two falls?

what about dance
Ava Pitcher I would honestly love to see dance and cheer at the olympics
Mara L But Ice skating is considered an art but it’s still at the olympics
@@sewingconfidential oh so the olympics are sexist. great!
I saw someone fall, maybe that's why they got second.
I saw 2, one in the beginning and one a little bit before the pyramid
Yeah, two falls actually and on relatively easy tumbling elements.

Eu também estou vendo a série no Netflix aqui no Brasil, parabéns pelo trabalho. 💪👏👏👏
Cheerleading is the one thing that will always give my body chills. What a sport
Beautifully executed!!!🤩🤩🤩

Wow! This was amazing.
Omg the girls at 4:03 flipping so far up and landing on the girls shoulders/ legs had me saying “woah” out loud had to rewatch it 3xs 👏 👏 👏
Rebekah Flagg her name is Clarissa !! Definitely one of the best cheerleaders ever.😍❤️
Amazing coordination and super fun.
Jerry has my ♥️! love Love LOVE him, his energy and positive attitude!
I still dont get why this has to end when you finish collage, dont make sense you put your life in a sport to ending so young
Megan Grady but u can’t really make a living off of all star
amy i bet it’s just a loss of money :(
@@amy-kn7ke If they made things for Cheer tho it could go on
It’s doesnt just end after college there’s Allstar cheer but have to be on open teams like open (coed, international, senior)
I Love navarro cheer
This was the lost that monica was like never again....
yep...
Did she stop coaching?
@@marlenemendoza4711 she is still coaching
I took my grad pics where you had your interview omg
Alguém do Brasil aqui??? Amo esses cheerleades ❤️
So sad that this just wasn't their year. But they always come back stronger
Did anyone see that girl fall out of her running tumbling? She landed on her head on a backtwist!
My dream is to be in Navarro
Good job Monica
Corsicana here I come!😍😍

Hi I have seen your vids and I do cheer
So, is it only Navarro and Trinity competing against each other every year? Or are there other Community/junior colleges - we just don't hear about them? I'm here and curious after CHEER on netflix :)
Jennifer Brown just them!
@@OwenBrayden this season there were 3 competitors in the division. Garden City CC was the 3rd team.
@@CoachAndrewV also Texas tech University
@Kyton Mendoza Incorrect. Texas tech is not a junior college and was in a different division.
Navarro and Trinity are in the same division. So whoever wins get National Champ. So once they get that title all the National Champs compete to get Grand National Champ. But they don't really compete for Grand.

Gabi butlur is my idol🤧🥰
I thought the show said they lost in 2017 but this said they lost “last year” ....
They lost 2016 and 2017
Are there only 2 or 3 junior colleges that compete. Are they competing with the 4 year colleges as well?
I think junior colleges have their own category, so there is always a junior college winner but then there is also a grand champion category which is all colleges combined, so it’s possible to win the JC category but not the overall category but also possible for them to beat all the colleges including 4 year if they take the grand champion title.
@@shritchie which ones are they winning? Junior college or the overall for everyone
Vees&Things&Flowers they win the junior
Vees&Things&Flowers they have won the junior 14 times and have won the grand title 5 times
It was over all a OUTSTANDING routine but you can tell that they struggle a lot with tumbling I watched it one time and out of the corner of my eye I was at least 3 tumbling falls
POV:your watching this trying to find your coach because you know he graduated 2018
They got 2nd? They looked way better than Trinity did they should have gotten 1st
It's weird that their pyramid is almost exactly the same as the 2019 one. Shouldn't they change it up?
to me its a lot different

@@sloane6362 Juinior Colleges and Universities do not compete against each other.
community colleges definitely don’t involve less studying you can get the same general education at a community college as a state college!
@@xxloveyou77 yes they do, I went to one. It is pretty much like high school

Wtf if up with the corny music in the background.
Girl falling from tumbling...likeeeee whhhaaaattt you’re tumbling get it together.. not acceptable 💁🏼♂️
