Code Black (and the CEA brand generally) is a well respected team in the industry.

they’re the reigning back to back world champions in the division!!

Jordon was not on the team last season (worlds are held in April at ESPN in Disney) but a lot of her teammates are 2x world champs

The team she’s on, Code Black, is an Open (2008+) Non-Tumbling team from Cheer Extreme All Stars in Raleigh.

athletes are paying this kind of money year round for reference, plus hotel, flights, food, and many comps are stay-to-play!!

It is up there with some of the most expensive sports, but also the most dangerous

This is not the same as NFL cheer, or dance, it is its own (very pricey) beast

one szn on a world team can cost upwards of 20,000 USD

here’s an example for the sister location of CEA Raleigh (not incl. any travel)

Hey #gymternet / #gymnastics fam 🥰

Drop your Nationals brackets if you’ve done them✨ Who do you have?

I usually do two; a realistic one and then a chaos bracket for fun! Here are mine 🫡

I forgot to post these before the beginning of #MarchMadness but this is my ‘wishful thinking’ bracket and my ‘be for real’ one ☺️
