Is it wrong to try out for two different teams?
My old team isn't having Spring Camp this year and tryouts our in two weeks, but there is another team (different club) whom is having Spring Camp for three months then tryouts.
Should I do both, and hope nobody finds out, and quit/not tryout for one later? I feel awful having to make this decision. I've always had amazing cheer experiences until this last season, where my coaches basically ignored me and when they didn't, they treated me awfully. I went from double ups, switch-ups and layouts in my tumbling...to full ups, an extended lib and a round off back handspring as my highest skills. My entire stunt group suffered (one of my bases has never cheered before and my backspot refused to go to open gym, and missed all the key practices) leaving myself and my other long term base helpless and frustrated. None of them are coming back next year, but I can't help wanting to try again.
I feel like maybe doing Spring Camp and getting those key skills back, I could evaluate from there where I want to go. The other Club definitely would be harder to make at tryouts, but they train really well, and even if I wasn't at there level at the end of Spring, I would be where I was last season and make it onto my old team.
So should I cross my fingers and hope I make the different club in a few months, go with something I know and dislike (fingers crossed the coaches decide they like me again) or do both? (In doing both, I'd either have to:
A. Quit my team, tryout for the other team.
B. Stay with my team, and not tryout for the other team.
Thanks!
