Cheer evaluations are around the corner, are you ready to bring in the new cheer year? As we all finish up our National Events, and end of the year competitions, it is important to note the stress of the everyday cheer leader. They go to practice three some times five days a week to perfect, and learn new tumbling tricks, stunts and routines. They are only doing this for one reason, to Level up! That's right, who wants to be stuck in the same old level, doing the same old tricks again for another year. The constant struggle with improving your level, while you are competing at a whole different level does get stressful and tiresome. Luckily there are a few ways to over come this. The most obvious being private time. It is worth the money, and the time to schedule privates with a coach you feel will push you to be your best. This could range anywhere from 30 min to an hour a week. This extra time affords you the opportunity to work on things at your pace, with focus on one t

When learning new tricks it is always important to remember the technique. Nothing about the technique is arbitrary, instead it is meant to help you progress in your tumbling easier. One thing that sometimes gets overlooked is the banana. Now you might be asking what does fruit have to do with it/ Well aside from eating a healthier diet, we are referring to the shape of the banana. Alot of us have see n this, and probably have done this before. We go into the handstand with a curved back, obviously shaped like the banana. It is cool because we are learning how to hold the handstand and we begin to immediately feel ourselves balancing on our  hands. The problem with this position is that it is only good for just that.  If you were to try to progress in your tumbling ability, this will actually hinder you from learning properly, and could lead to some awkward looking tumbling. This is because there is less activation of the body's muscle for your lower back and your core.

There are times an athlete struggles with progressing in their tumbling, there are numerous factors that come into play into helping the athlete achieve their goal in tumbling. One of these factors, as I have noticed, is how well the athlete can perform the handstand.  When doing the handstand the athlete is not only just holding them selves with their hands, they are engaging in complex movements that the whole body to work together. The athlete is developing strength as well as communicating with all the muscle in their body to help control the handstand. We get lots of athletes that come in and are having trouble progressing or even landing their trick, and one thing we have found in common is that they were not training their handstand. If you were to break down the anatomy of most tumbling tricks, even the most basic ones, you begin to see why the handstand is vital to achieving success in tumbling.  We will use the cart wheel for example. There is a point in which the a

Big waves are coming, and they plan to hit hard. Of course we are not talking about actually waves, but the metaphoric wave that describes the Pacific Beach movement across the U.S. Within a short year, the brand has introduced itself into the mainstream cheer world, and has obtained 3 locations. Two in the San Diego Area, and one in the High desert of California. It wasn't long until It was decided that a fourth location was necessary, due to popular demand, in the heart of Austin Texas . Sure this wave is coming in like a Tsunami, but what does that mean for the brand? Pacific Beach Sports, prides itself in creating, and maturing athletes in the profession they love.
