My daughter is 10.5 flyer and they are considering putting her on a j team next year. She’s never done all star cheer before, just a year of rec classes, but is a fast learner and great stunter. She really wants to be a flyer so j team is where she could land but I worry she will be one of the little one and not have the camaraderie feeling of a team the same as if she was on a youth team. She’s very sensitive and very intimidated by older girls at first then loves them. The j girls at the gym this year just seem so much more mature than her and I worry it’ll affect her confidence if they treat her as the little, maybe sometimes annoying, one. Maybe I’m overthinking it, I just really want her to have a positive experience and grow in her confidence and she’s easily knocked down emotionally. Idk if I should bring it up to the coaches before try outs. She really wants to fly and I guess still could if there are enough strong bases on youth. Has anyone had any bad or good experiences with their younger flyer on a j team?
