Ok, you know I need this tea, asap! ;-)I am so excited, my daughter missed cheering so much and decided she wants to tryout...Yip-pee!
Back to same gym? Or trying a new place?I am so excited, my daughter missed cheering so much and decided she wants to tryout...Yip-pee!
Yep, due to her late August birthday, she's a 12-year-old this season. This will be the start of season 8 of cheer for her.CP is JUNIOR aged?!?!?! omg no. She was a tiny with pigtails like yesterday. :(
Good luck to her in tryouts!
I remember this well. Good luck on finding a great fit for CP on your move!Start of season 5 for my CP. Hard to believe... I remember when I first wrote to @SharkDad requesting access to the parent board because I was now a cheer parent when CP was a tiny and he was like, what do you mean, now a cheer parent, did you suddenly acquire a child??? (I was a coach long before CP was ever born.) Ah, good times. She just did try outs here and was placed on a level 2 workout group, but we're leaving in the middle of the summer. I'm hoping she will get a chance to be on a mini team in her last year of eligibility - looks like the gym where we will land is likely to have one for the first time ever.
I was excited when she mentioned going back to cheer, but I had that long convo with my daughter after coming down from:cloud9:... I told her to cheer for herself, not to make me happy... I really started feeling like she wanted to do this for a Mother's Day gift or something..Back to same gym? Or trying a new place?
And You said..... Of course, May 12 of 2017 or 2018?Not an all star tryout but the struggle is the same:
A coworker's daughter is trying out for her HS team (she does not attend the school where we work but a neighboring private school.)
People know I coach so they like to ask me for tips and such.
This coworker emailed me today:
"Need advice about Katie's tryout? She needs a backhandspring. Never tumbled but she can cartwheel. If we start lessons today will she have it by tryout time?"
Me: "Hmm. It's hard to say. When is her tryout?"
"May 12th."
:deathdrop:And You said..... Of course, May 12 of 2017 or 2018?
Another thing is why would you want to force or rush a skill that you have not perfected in order to make a certain team. Chances are you will either lose the skill or plateau and not be able to move on because it is not done correctly. Then the athlete will be upset all year because they won't be contributing to the team, and the coach will be frustrated because the athlete isn't performing to the expectations they put forth at tryouts. Wouldn't you rather be the STAR of the team because you not only perfected the skill that you had on the lower level, but you are working on the higher skills and will be able to do so at a comfortable, realistic pace. I have seen countless athletes do this and all of them have been very successful.
didnt know where to put this...
