We do open gyms before hand and express to candidates that they can "schedule" a stunt private for an hour with two veterans (one of our choice) and one of theirs...then workI'm thinking that implementing open stunt clinics throughout the spring prior to tryouts may be the best idea. Generally we have large numbers come for tryouts. With backgrounds of "I've never seen a stunt" to "I can do a 1.5 up stretch." The returners are the easy ones, I know what they're capable of. It's the rest of the group (that largely outnumbers returners) that makes it difficult. For us to have not have full groups of rookies, our veterans would get pretty over worked. Open gym to at least get some of those new kids in and familiar with basics sounds like a great idea! I may also limit it to only those trying out for varsity have a stunt requirement. That would take care of a lot of the newbies, since most of them are not going to meet the varsity requirement anyways. Thanks for sharing!
