we try our best not to cut people, but there are on occasion people who just are no where close to fitting on any of our teams.
Last year our youngest team was a Youth team and we had a 4 year old wanting to cheer, Very talented for a 4 year old, but she had the attention span of a 4 year old. So we told them to wait out a year and take tumbling classes. She still has a minimal attention span but can keep up for the most part with our mini team this year.
This year, we had a 16 year old who couldn't do a cartwheel to save her life and had a bit of a frustrating to work with personality. Our only Senior team is a very strong level 3 team, I can't give the no cartwheel 16 year old the spot over a 14 year old with a speciality through to tuck.
So we don't advertise that we are no cut, but when asked if everyone makes it, we do say that it takes an extremely unique circumstance for someone not to make a team.
