this is a perfect point of people not always knowing the truth. huskies was already started prior to courtney, but hurricanes was not only courtneys idea but she went to HPR for permission to start it. we are lucky to have her as a couch and no affense to any parent couch who have put a great deal of time and effort into voluteering their time and effort ( thanks for it we appreciate it!!) we would not be to the advanced level we are now without courtney's help. yes the girls are great, I love and respect each and every one of them but they do need someone like courtney to get to the next level if we ever want to go to nationals or keep winning at states for that matter. you girls are awsome keep up the hard work we believe in you!!!!  good luck for these up coming competitions. love ya nannie

This is for teamplayer: I have been stating in my posts that everyone should be going to the head of Parks and Rec and people need to be adults about this whole situation. I think he is wonderful and handles things quickly. I think if this was brought to his attention way before now that there would have been a solution already instead of the unneccesary drama going on.

GO HURRICANES on Sunday! Cheer your butts off and be that TEAM that we know you are!!!

the reason the same senario keeps playing out is because we are working with girls around the age puberty that by nature will not always get along with everyone who have overly protective mothers. all little girls think they are the best, get catty, have falling outs, have little social clicks, freinds one day not the next. but then what can we expect of them look at how catty and nasty the parents are, the truth of the matter is when you have more than 3 girls or 3 women together you run into drama!!!! the key is learning what to ignore, learning not to gossip, and to make sure we don't talk in front of our girls. if it wasnt courtney it would be someone else you guys would be bashing, cause thats what harrington does!!! finds your faults and rips you for it so they feel better. lets just all let Bill Filasco settle this, mind our own business and don't believe everything you read here or hear on the street only 10% is true.

I find it very hard to believe that a child grabbed a beer out of a parents hand.

Enough already!  I think we can all read between the lines and figure out who's who.  We need to have a parent meeting and all get on the same page for these girls as THEY have a competition on Sunday.  Not the parents-them. Guess what-the girls are fine.  The two girls who had a falling out are fine.  We all know the minute that parents get into girl drama, things are said that can never be taken back.  Also, the parents of the two girls were seemingly fine until this all came to light today.  The parents of the girls that are left on this team need to come together as a team.  I will support these girls, the coach, and H P & R no matter what because my daughter loves cheerleading and loves cheering for the Huskies and the Hurricanes.  As her parents, her father and I will do everything to support her interests.  Just as I'm sure all of you will.  We are all in this together for the love of our children.  So let's regroup and be supportive of each other and our girls' accomplishments.  Look at how far they have come!  Go girls!!!!!

One more thing-ALL of these girls work hard at every practice and every competition.  No one child is better than another.  Cheerleading is not an individual sport.  The girls depend on each other to be the best they can be.  Some might be stronger in one area than another-which is what you need on a team, be it baseball, football, or cheerleading.  I would like to thank all of the girls for their hard work and an enjoyable cheering season.

lady's, how about we all just call it a night and let the people directly involved in it handle it  . how sad it would be if they shut down cheer. Parks and Rec know what / who the problem is . just let them handle it . :P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P

I agree with what these moms are saying about the girls handling the problem between themselves but as a mom when my daughter made a call to me I did take proper actions and still nothing is handled. I think its bad enough that the lines have been crossed but they really were crossed when you tell girls on the team that your daughter holds the team together and they would go no where without her. How does that make all the girls feel when they put all their heart into it and were teaching them that there is no I in team. I am a parent that loves all these girls and they all deserve the same credit and respect from all parents and especially the coach. There has been parent after parent taking the proper actions and still nothing is done even though we are told it will be. We have a lot of great people in this program but things need to change before its to late and the coach just needs to be honest with the parents and stand up for her girls on the team and not her friends.

Oh yeah the answer to the drama is to shut the program down. How is shutting the program down beneficial? Because some parents come on here and trash talk the coach or other parents? The coach has never done anything to my child and my child adores her. She is an excellent coach and has brought many trophys back from many competitions. You absolutely can not believe everything you hear. If I see something with my own eyes then I handle it like an adult. Shutting the program down hurts the children involved in the program.  So dang, parents are arguing and bickering with one another and now they have brought out things that now are bothering them and the solution is to shut the program down so how many girls can not cheer? Makes absolutley no sense to me why that would be a solution...sorry my opinion.

I don't feel that the city needs to shut the program down.  I think we all need to sit back and let the director handle things.  He is more than capable of looking into the allegations and making good decisions.  We need to give him a chance to do that.  Also, when these allegations took place there really was no director in place at the time.  This is a good program-both the huskies and the hurricanes.  They have come so far in a short period of time and it always seems that it is 1 or 2 disgruntled parents that ruin it for everyone else.  WE were all looking forward to a good week prior to competition and now yet again drama.

The fact that someone would speak about someone else's child is appalling.  You are speaking about a child between the age of 11-14.  Unbelievable!  While I do realize there is drama among the girls, we are all going to have that.  These are girls.  However, we are the role models for our daughters.  Going online and bad mouthing someone on the internet behind some screen name is a form of bullying.  In case anyone has forgotten, it is a criminal offense if done to children on myspace or facebook.  If we don't want our children to engage in such behavior, then we shouldn't be doing it ourselves.  I think we need to remember that we are all adults and perhaps we should start behaving like such.  We are not our daughter's friends-we are their parents!  If anyone has a problem with anything going on during cheer, the coach is the one we should go to.  If it is not resolved then, the Parks & Rec director will be more than willing to hear any concerns.

The reality of the situation is that the proper channels should have been followed. The coach of the squad should have been notified as well as the Director of HPR. The Director should have been allowed to investigate the allegations being made and determine who else should be notified.

This is not the first forum that the cheerleading parents have started nor will it be the last. It seems there are many issues among the parents that is spilling over to the children. Perhaps this comes from parents talking in front of their children and children partaking in conversations that truly do not pertain to them.

Now for the meat of the problem - this is not the first time there have been allegations regarding this particular coach. Yes the girls look up to her but at some point parents need to ask themselves whether or not this is who they want as a role model for their children.

I personally feel that there are parents out there that are aware of the issues that have arisen and are afraid to speak out. As we all know we want our children to succeed but at what cost?

This is not the place to speak out and air dirty laundry - take these allegations to the proper people and allow them to handle the situation.

WOW! You know what kudos to that Mom who came running! If my child called me upset and crying, I would go and see what is going on also. Yes children need to hash out there differences, but when it gets to a certain point then a parent or adult need to intervene. Maybe it was wrong of her to yell at the children involved, BUT the very next practice she apologized to the children. And apparently some of the girls knew they were in the wrong for the fact they called the parent and apologized for the way they acted. You know you are on here calling an innocent child a trouble maker. A child! What makes her more of a troublemaker over the other girls involved? They all go to school together, they all see each other at football games, ice skating and so on. They don't have to love each other but we want our children to get along with others. Not one child is any more innocent or a trouble maker as another. BUT like I said if you had an issue then take it up with the adult involved, the coach or the head of Parks and Rec. He is an easy person to talk to.

what went on in that bathroom was between  hurricanes  not huskies. the child called mommy and mommy can running . i think it is time for all moms to step back and let these girls deal with issues that are between children. if one looks at the other the wrong way then she should deal with it not call mommy. maybe she know that if she called mommy mommy will come down and yell.by the way the child always plays that way alway runs to mommy saying that all the girls are picking on her when in fact she is the biggest trublemaker. she thinks she is the best of the best .

WOW! Absolutely crazy that a parent would post things on here and not take them to the person they have the issue with or at least go to the head of Parks and Rec and talk about it. We are supposed to be adults that teach our children the right and wrong, the in's and out's of life. We don't go on the Internet and post nasty evil things about others. We wouldn't want our children to go on myspace or facebook and be cruel to another child. The coach of Cheer leading is not perfect. She makes mistakes just like everyone else.....BUT....no matter how you feel about her, the Cheerleaders adore her. If they didn't they wouldn't keep coming back to be coached by her. If you were unhappy about a situation that occured at a competition then YOU as a parent should have taken care of that instead of leaving it up to the coach. That child is yours and you are to be responsible for her AND for your actions.

If another parent yelled at your child at practice and you were upset about that then YOU as a parent should have went to the coach and if you didn't like her response or the way she handled it then you should have went to the head of Parks and Rec. To come on here are throw names out in the open and say nasty things does nothing. It shows immaturity in the parent that is doing the name calling.

I have by far have had my issues with Parks and Rec, Courtney another parent and so on...BUT I did not come on here and make a nuisance of myself saying peoples names bringing things up that children should not have to read. BUT I would do anything for my child and my child wants to cheer with Courtney because she loves her and what she does. The parent that yells at the girls, well she has been a parent volunteer and coach for many years and it was never an issue all those years. She is awesome and the girls love her, and her daughter. The lady that gave out beverages that she shouldn't have offered, yes that was absolutely wrong, but that happened during Huskies season and should have been taken care of during Huskies season. Good luck to the Hurricanes this weekend at there very first competition. We will support the team, the coach and all the kids on the TEAM because they are a team!
