Crossovers

[Molly]

How does everyone feel about crossovers? I understand having a couple girls/guys having to double up on a team... but what do you feel about two teams (small senior 3 & 4) having the same people besides 4 girls?

Some small gyms do not have a choice. Unless you have coached or cheered at a small gym (we have 40 members), you may not understand. We provide a place for anyone who wants to cheer, and in order to do that, we have a large crossover % between our senior Level 3 and Level 4 teams. As a coach, if it takes a lot of my kids doing 2 teams to not turn away other kids who want to cheer- who are not ready to be at a level 4, I don't see the problem. It's not for the purpose of stacking a team to win all year, its about allowing my more advanced atheletes the shot of being on a team that challenges them and pushes them to grow, and allowing all members the ability to cheer.

**It also provides a chance to do other things. I have a base on level 4 who is our point flyer on level 3. She's not ready to fly level 4 skills, though she can base and tumble level 4. Level 3 is giving her the chance to gain more experience in flying. Vice versa, one of my level 4 flyers, bases on level 3. They love that aspect of crossing over as well, allows them to do different things.

Unfortunately many large gyms use crossovers for other purposes... Man, I've been good lately and haven't gotten into any arguments on the boards...can we down vote this thread before I get myself into trouble?? :banghead:
