2009-2010 COMPETITIVE CHEER CHANGES
The Competitive Cheer Committee technical recommendations to be included in the Competitive Cheer Manual for 2009-2010 include the following:

1. Allow extended stunts to brace an extension level stunt when the bracing flyer’s torso is in an upright position. This must be a double-based stunt with a back spot. The exception is the “Box-Out” pictured on p. 53 (no spotter is required). The photo on p. 54 with “chairs” bracing an extension is now legal.

2. Allow a team to perform a near and far arm cartwheel and a switch split, side split and/or triple splits in Round 2.

2009 FALL SUMMIT
Don't miss this opportunity to gain the technical knowledge you need to excel.  Whether you are a new or an experienced competitive cheer coach, additional education in coaching techniques and networking will help you and your team meet your full potential. Send your registration form in now to attend on October 3, 2009, at Michigan State University's Kellogg Center. Click here for a complete schedule and registration
