Okay, it really infuriates me when parents feel like this. It's NOT an individual sport and everybody plays a role. All it takes is for one person to not be there and a stunt doesn't go up or part of the pyramid doesn't go up. Most parents work and have a life outside of cheer, but on practice days you need to make sure your child is at practice. I realize stuff comes up, emergencies happen and sometimes a child has to miss practice. However, if you can't get your child to practice on a regular basis or you "don't feel like it" that to me is a problem. Granted cheerleading isn't the most important thing in the world, but you made a commitment and it effects the other members of the team and it's not fair to the program as a whole for you NOT to be dedicated. I just don't understand why some parents feel like practice is an option. Even though it is an extracurricular sport, it comes with responsibility.
