and unless I am mistaken about what you are describing (a video would be good..), you are going against known skill progressions with training like that. not saying it can't work but there are methods for teaching that 'feeling' that provide a safer environment for the bases and top.
This is one of the ways the cheerleading world speaks out of both sides of its mouth.
We are two weeks removed from a thread where people lost their minds saying that having tryouts without outside judges opened you up to litigation.
Then we completely ignore proper progressions in teaching skills because “this is my way.”
So my question is: which would you be more likely to lose? A frivolous lawsuit where a parent is butt hurt over their kid not making the team, or a lawsuit where an attorney can say “this coach was in charge, this is the established skill progression that was ignored, this was the injury suffered, and these are the damages we are seeking.”
