COA's new and improved logo
COA (Cheerleaders Of America) used to be the most prestigious competition in the cheerleading industry located at the Gaylord Palms in Orlando, Florida. Now it's a complete joke. This past weekend Top Gun all-stars participated in COA and completely swept the competition. COA made very impressive improvements this year to attract more teams...it didn't help. In my opinion, I believe there were less teams and the competition was extremely disorganized. Usually, the awards are in a separate hall, this year they were on the competition floor. In the past years there were three competition rooms, and last weekend there was one. In most divisions teams competed against themselves...that's more of a showcase if you ask me. Some teams traveled all the way from Columbia to compete against themselves. Now that is a disappointment.
JamBrands now owns the rights to COA. The only changes COA had this year were a new logo, a different score sheet, and smaller trophies. Although I was impressed that the first place team received a trophy with every team members name on it. Other than that, the whole weekend was a disaster. COA has absolutely no hope in becoming a major competition again. I hope Top Gun does not choose to go to COA next year, if they do they can count me out.
