No, it's not. Some kids progress faster than others. Some take longer. Some just don't want to progress. Personally, I think that if kids progress a level a year, they are going to backtrack at some time or another. That's just based on what I've seen and read over the years. It can take a couple years, or more, to feel confident in your ability and to really perfect your skills. That's perfectly OK with me.

Hey Dawgshow, I am kind of stumped by the comments you made about kids not wanting to progress to the next level... Isn't this suppose to be 'Competitive' cheerleading? Why would anyone be content to stay at the same level year after year, and furthermore, if this is your child, why not put them in a sport that is less expensive and can be more like a hobby ('Recreational' Cheerleading)... Additionally, I still consider myself a newbie in this sport- (2+years), Explain why a child who was progressing level to level each year will need to backtrack at some point...I can see, reaching level 5 and hitting a ceiling, but needing to back track...I just do not get it!!!:confused:
