My Cp's AS mini team practices less than her rec team.
AS = 2 two hour practices a week, and 1 sixty minutes tumble class. (she usually does at least one more class on her own) . During a week with a Saturday comp, she only has one practice, plus tumble.
Her rec team practices 8 hours a week (4 two hour sessions) during the summer, and 3 days (six hours total ) in the fall. They are also required to cheer at a game on Sunday and she competes at five comps or pep rallies during that two month season. They are usually on Saturday or Friday night. Somewhere in the middle of all that she does one or two tumble classes a week too...I love her organization, but we pretty much are expected to eat, breathe and sleep cheer in Sept and Oct. There are probably about five other team events during that time too. like the kickoff BBQ that she is expected to attend!
