has anyone experienced this? It's really freaking me out. This is CP's 3rd year with pretty much the same group of girls. This year is very different, though. Athletes not showing up for practices or mandatory tumbling. Skipping out on team building because of school work (hello, you've been off for two weeks, couldn't get it done?). Just a general feeling of being over it and not giving a crap. And already talking about quitting after this year.
They had their first comp of the season and didn't do well. We're about to hit it for real, and I gotta say I'm scared. Am I expecting too much because my kid is the one who has to be deathly ill to miss, takes extra tumbling, plans her schoolwork so that everything gets finished and keeps her grades up? CP still really enjoys cheer and could have 3 more years before she ages out.
As far as the gym, there have been no consequences for attendance. I'm just sitting back and shutting up, but I'm really concerned. I'd rather see a small team of committed kids than a large team of slackers that doesn't perform well. I'm at the point where I'm subtly pushing CP to look at other gyms for next year. Any thoughts?
