Hi all,
We have just done a big recruitment drive after loosing 4 girls (from a team of 19). We have recruited a lot more than we thought, could be as many as 13 as we had a lot of talent come over from a feeder programme that does sideline.
Two of the girls that left after comp left unexpectedly and have since voiced to other members of the team that they didn't feel that they were part of the team as there are a group of 8 or so girls who have been cheering together for 3 or more years and are very close.
I am wary that recruiting so many new people could lead to a divide of newbies and oldies (especially with some of the newbies cheering together in the sideline team) and wondered if anyone had any tips for how we can integrate them seamlessly.
At tryouts I set them up with 'buddies' so each newbie had a current team member to look after them.
All suggestions would be fab! i am positing in international as thought that you guys might have more of an idea of things that would work with small programmes (we literally only have one senior 2 team!).
