Hey Lex… well being in the cheer world for 22 years i must say that non officially there have been a steady increase in injuries due to lack of preparation.. teams in all star and in many school teams as well see things and just skip steps to get to that skill… so rushing tumbling and stunts and even jumps can and are causing Knees being popped and hips and groins etc to be injured. You can look up info on the usasf website and the national fed of highschool sports. my background is one of cheerleaders, coach judge instructor you name it.. feel free to email me with any other questions…at catscheer
