I've always been against politics effecting team placements or spots in cheerleading, but i've been caught up in it anyways. I just want some re-assurance that what i'm thinking of doing is right. Or maybe someone needs to tell me i'm crazy for thinking of doing this!
The deal: Girl A has zero tumbling (almost everyone else has a tuck, all the rest have handsprings)
Girl A keeps getting concussions. They are easy to get after you've had one.
And Girl A is not a pro stunter, good, but not irreplaceable.
Her parents are HUGE in the booster club, and have helped make the program what it is today. I've been coaching her since she was in 6th grade, she is now an 11th grader.
Girl B has a tuck, and is a fine stunter, not fantastic, but gets the job done just as well as Girl A.
Her parents are very disconnected, and are totally fine with her being off the mat. Her parents played sports in college and understand you have to work for your spot.
I want to take Girl A off of the floor, and put on Girl B. Is it worth the drama? I'm not sure.
