Hi Cheer world! I need help with this - as I am wondering if my assumption is correct about tumblers as you get to higher levels. My daughter is in her 7th season of allstar cheer. She was at one cheer gym for 5 years and left 2 years ago because she wanted the opportunity to fly. We moved to another gym and she flew on a L3 team. That gym didn't have a L4, so she tried out at another gym & made a J4 team. The coach told us she had a great chance of being a flyer and they would ensure her success - whether she flew on her J4 team or they moved her to S3. She had the elite flyer position on J4 and they JUST took her out of it. Now she isn't in elite or pyramid - not flying at all. I completely understand that they moved the other girl into her spot, but the fact she isn't flying at all is disheartening.
The bigger challenge - she's small and never based at her old gym and now still is a pretend back or front base and just tumbles because she weights about 80 pounds, isn't strong and has the body of a flyer. If I am looking at her path and she wants to be on a worlds team - what is the likelihood that a higher team would put a strong tumbler on it if she can't base??
