Floyd County cheerleading has come a long way, but it still has quite a way to go. Everyone thinks their squad is the best, but most making that statement are not well versed in the criteria of deciding that issue. I would hope that with as interested in cheer leading as things have become in Floyd County, they might actually try putting knowledgeable folks in the elementary schools and middle schools to build programs. Then again, this might fall under the "deciding one's own destiny" thread...lol... but until the Floyd County School System wants to level the playing fields (as it were) in cheer and make a policy to be followed, nothing is ever gonna change there. Every varsity, middle school, and elementary cheer coach in Floyd County should have to take the KAPOS AND NATIONAL FEDERATION tests. Instead of coaches calling people and trying to get someone else to give them the answers. They should have to attend camps and workshops to be kept updated in tecnique changes and rules changes and so forth. Knowledge is power. The people in these positions should WANT TO BE AS KNOWLEDGEABLE AS POSSIBLE FOR THEIR GIRLS AND BOYS! They should have to judge squads and so forth and be willing to be a part of something instead of always wanting to float their own boat and then get miffed and write proposals when things don't come out for them. C'mon Floyd County, stop being such ostriches... why don't you do something? Make the connections, learn the systems, and make them work for you and your teams.
