What's New in Cheerleading Uniforms

Hi GK Team!

This weekend could not have been a better debut of your beautiful Cheerleading uniforms in Canada!  Great Whites warmed up in cheer tank tops and shorts, and then changed before they stepped on the Nationals Stage. Everywhere we went, teams were looking, pointing, and complimenting us on the stunning cheer uniforms.  Everyone loved them...we simply cannot thank you enough.

From the way they fit (so comfortable!) to the sparkly look when they stepped on the stage, we are absolutely in love with your cheer uniforms.  And, Great Whites were pretty good too - not only did they win a National Championship, they also were Grand Champions of Level 5!!

Thanks again!
Cheers,
Ali

Strength Training Device for Cheerleading

The MaeFlyer was designed by CoreAthletics as a core strengthening device to help develop and improve leg strength and ankle dexterity for Cheerleaders. With safety in mind, the MaeFlyer is designed to be used one leg at a time. This allows not only for athletes to safely step off of the device, but also to train each leg individually to ensure balanced muscle development. The ankle dexterity and control that is gained by using the MaeFlyer is beneficial to any athlete.

CoreAthletics was founded by Todd and Ellen Kopp in 2005. Todd Kopp has been involved in cheering for 14 years, ever since his middle daughter, Valen, first took up the sport in middle school. But it was his youngest daughter, Kelsie that inspired him to get involved in the cheer industry.

"I came home to find Kelsie perched on the arm of the couch trying to do a heel stretch. I worried about her falling -- not to mention breaking the couch -- and figured there had to be a better way for her to practice. So I went down to my workshop and started tinkering and that's how I came up with the prototype for the MaeFlyer.

A few weeks after Kelsie began practicing with the MaeFlyer her coach noticed Kelsie's balance and leg strength had improved so much she was sticking all her stunts. Kelsie's coach wanted to know what our secret was. So I told her about the MaeFlyer. The coach ordered a bunch for her squad. I took a few samples to our next competition and by the end of the weekend I had received dozens of orders. That's how CoreAthletics got its start."

To use the MaeFlyer, simply step up onto the board by placing one foot in the center leaving the other foot free in the air. The goal is to maintain control of the board while not letting the sides of the board touch the ground. Athletes who attain control of the board can then begin to practice stunts such as the scorpion, liberty, arabesque, or heel stretch while on the board.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - The Maryland competitive cheer team won the NCA national title Friday evening with a close victory over 2009's champion, University of Louisville. The Terps reclaimed the NCA crown to win their fourth title in five years (2006, 2007, 2008, 2010).

The Terrapins earned an overall score of 9.639 to edge Louisville's 9.618 in the tightest national championship race ever in NCA history. Maryland earned the highest crowd appeal score as well and was named grand champion of the entire event in every division.

Coming into Friday's finals round, the Terrapins sat in second place with a score of 9.148 to Louisville's 9.468. Maryland endured stumbles in its partner stunts and pyramid elements of its routine to suffer .35 in deductions.

Friday's finals round, usually outside in Daytona Beach, was moved inside due to an unfavorable forecast. The Terps hit a solid, flawless routine to win their fourth title. The Cardinals, who competed after the Terrapins, hit a strong routine as well.

"Before we even went over to the arena, I just knew we were going to win," Terrapins head coach Jarnell Bonds said. "The girls' energy was just amazing even hours before we went on the floor. They were supporting each other all the way through."

"Our routine today was a coach's dream. That routine was a championship routine. I have never seen a team hit a routine like that. As a coach, you usually can find something in every routine, but that routine was flawless in every sense of the word."
