It is so hard to go from spring floor to hard floor. Hard floor can be tumbled on safely but it's a completely different training. Without the correct coach that safely knows the difference it can definitely tear you up. I am completely against hard floors. Spring floor is just all around so much safer. I could see hard floors hurting more than helping the growth for sure!This year has been my oldest daughter's first year in school cheer. She HATES it. Not the sideline part, not the hours upon hours of practices...but tumbling on the HARD FLOOR!! She has already said there is NO way she's cheering for her school next year. Very said considering she really loves it. But the hard floor is just tearing her up. 2 hours of practice on the hard floor wears her out more than 5 straight hours of practice on the spring floor. If all star cheer moves to hard floor, this will be one family that moves a different direction...
She has even indicated that she no longer has an interest in cheering in college either because it's hard floor. Very, very sad day for this momma. :'(
