I had a lot of fun when I was on half year. We started in December and got our routine around late January, early February. Before we got our routine we worked on stunting and tumbling and jumps and it was a great time for people to get new tumbling(my toe touch went from barely off the ground to almost hyper extended). The practices weren't too stressful, and it was a great way to get into the all star cheer world without the full commitment right away. The tuition at my gym for half year (well at least when I did it) was 80$ compared to 140$ for full year. The tryouts at my gym are the same for full year and half year and it's more like evaluations than tryouts. It's like an open tumbling class. At the time of try outs I barely had a standing back handspring and I was put on a senior 2 (along with people with no tumbling at all). This past season my gym had levels 1-3 for half year and there were many people without level 2 tumbling on the level 3 teams. The competitions were "local" (one 30 min from my house, the other 2 and a half hours) and they were a like a mix between all star and school competitions. After the competition season was over, we still had practices and worked more on stunting tumbling and jumps. I'm not sure if you're planning on eventually switching to full year, but I felt that when I switched over to full year the next season I had an easier start than someone who started out just with full year would. Sorry for how long this is oops hahaha
