I think it's different because Cheerleading is all year round... while other sports such as swimming, basketball, and soccer etc only last a few months during their season.Honestly I don't think cheerleaders practice all that long compared to other sports. So double teaming or triple teaming (from a time perspective) may not be much more than a sport like swim team where the kids do 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening every.single.day. If a cheerleader can manage his/her school work and gym time.. more power to them. That said...I don't think it is ok to pick and choose to skip certain teams practices because "you have too much homework". If you sign on for all... you treat all the same regardless of level. And truly I think the real problem is when a double/triple teamer gets hurt. Then you have 2/3 teams looking for a fill-in.
Your coach should know your limits and how many teams is too much for you. I know for a fact that when my coaches ask kids to crossover they take into account any popwarner programs, school teams, ect. that the athlete does and also academics. I know that they try to stay away from high school freshmen crossing over because they already have enough stress with a new school, one allstar team, and maybe even a school team. Your coach should know what is too much for each athlete and discuss it before any 'crossing over' is official.
She doubled from Sr 5 to Sr 4, and she said she would never do level 4 again because level 4 is harder on her body than level 5 is.
That shocks me. My kids are on level 2 & 3. They haven't gotten to level 4 yet. Why is level 4 harder on the body than level 5? I thought it would have been the other way around.
Let me get this straight. Averaging 3 hrs per day for 5-6 days per week is NOT considered a gym rat?thank goodness my sched isnt nearly as crazy anymore i think im only in the gym 15-18 hours a week I think this is much better for me and i dont think anymore days/hours/teams would be a good decision.....although i will admit i miss being a gymrat
