I don't know if I have a right to post here. I coach an All-Star team but its a small team and we compete locally. We are not Regional or National material. My Co-Coach and I do this to give our girls something to do in our small town, I know when one of our girls finally reach the ability to do a standing BHS or ROBHS they are so proud of themselves. We are a team that would benefit from half+1. But then again, we don't go to USASF Comps., but we do follow USASF rules for the Comps we attend. We don't teach Tumbling, the girls go elsewhere. We know how to spot them but we don't teach them. I personally don't think taking it away is the answers and maybe there is not a direct answer. But the bigger deduction is one possibility even around here. We have Coaches that push girls to do more tumbling that they are not ready for or to even "fake" it for a higher score. I also think if you take away from one part they will just start pushing the envelope elsewhere and the injuries will still exist. But I would also love to see more classes offered. I don't know about a weeks worth, that would be hard for most people to attend. I hope a reasonable solution is figured out and the Sport continues to grow. Thanks, SmallTown USA
