I head to Orlando later today to judge UCA All*Star Nationals. It should be a fun weekend.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.

Tomorrow I head to Atlanta for the world’s largest cheerleading competition, CheerSport. It should be fun.

We have 5 weeks before the World Championships in Finland and I no longer think there will be an American team in attendance.

We have about 7 weeks to the IFC World Championships and little has changed in the past week. I have talked to the coaches for the coed team, but no reportable progress on the all-girl team. The coed team has the potential to be legendary. All of the alumni I talked to are interested in participating, even moving forward despite the uncertainty. My guess is there will need to be significant progress over the next 2 weeks otherwise we will have to start working towards Germany in 2009, forgetting about Finland.

The United States is sending teams to compete in the World Cheerleading Championships in November and I may get involved with the organization. The teams are sponsored by the Unites States Cheerleading Federation, chaired by Stephanie French. The Championships will be held in Helsinki, Finland in November. I’ll update my site when I have more information.
