i really think Woodward is great, but from a coaching stand point it gets a little crazy when kids sign up for several weeks and have to miss practices because of it. then, they get "tapped" so they get them to come back for yet another week!
now don't get me wrong - i think it's great that at least if they are missing, they are working tumbling and getting better, but it's equally important to be at summer practices too.
i just had a mom email me because her daughter was at Woodward last week & she got tapped & the week that she would have to go back for is when our routine choreography is. and the mom asks me if it's ok for her to miss, because of course the kid really wants to go back to camp. i did tell the mom that choreo comes first. but it's such a tease with the tapping.
