Sooo, yesterday was the first day of tryouts for the HS team I coach. I am happy to say that we have over 50 girls trying out! However, because of the competitions we attend, we will probably take 20 on Varsity and 15 on JV.
My co-coach and I took everyone who tried out last year, and ended up with 25 on Varsity and 14 on JV. This year we want to be a bit more selective and have minimum tumbling requirements for each team. We expect to have full team tumbling on Varsity, and majority on JV.
My question is: We want to make 2 competition teams (JV and Varsity competition) and have everyone who doesn't make a competition team be apart of the sideline teams. Girls who make competition are also required to be on their respective level sideline team. Essentially we will have:
JV Sideline
JV Competition/Sideline
Varsity Sideline
Varsity Competition/Sideline
This ensures that everyone who tries out makes a team, but those who are exceptionally good represent us at our state and regional competitions.
Has anyone ever done this? When do your sideline girls practice? Do they come in less than the competition girls? Do you choreograph them in the routine (in the back) and have them practice the routine with the girls, even though they most likely won't compete?
Advice is needed!
