Here's one of my gripes....kids who take, "the summer off." Really?
Because summer is straight up, hard core conditioning, individual skills development and learning new stunts. Our J4 only does lv 4 stunting for about half the stunt time in practice, after that, it's all level five and yesterday they introduced two man stunting (which none of our kids have done before, we have a few that do true unassisted single based, but everyone else has only ever been in groups of four).
I'm no expert....but, it seems like you should BE there for that kind of thing. If you show back up at choreography is the team expected to wait while the coaches have to do remedial stunt training for you since everyone else learned it, practiced it and got it over the summer workouts you skipped?
This annoys me. :/
