I didn’t know who they were, what SFA stood for or why this team had these unconventional ripped up purple and red sports bras on at NCA Nationals but I have found myself to be completely in awe! Maybe it was the ambiguity of the name or maybe the absolute show they put on in the practice area, whatever it was, it has left me wanting more!
SFA certainly brought their “A game” to the competition and even though they didn’t win, they certainly left their mark!
I came across a practice video on youtube today that I was thoroughly impressed by…standing fulls and a good portion of the team doing punch front tumbling passes. Maybe I just haven’t looked at enough youtube videos but the skill level on this team is right up there with some of the best!
After having a long discussion with a major league baseball player last night over whether cheering is or is not a sport, I made him watch this video! He quickly backtracked and said he was merely talking about the “competition” part of the definition of a sport and not necessarily athleticism. A couple of “wows” and “why don’t these kids just try out for the gymnastics team” later and I think I might have just changed an opinion!
