Need some insights from some seasoned cheer folks. My daughter is 10yr old and was on a youth 1 prep team last season. This season she tried out and made the youth 1 full year team however, so far, she has no tumbling parts in the routine. According to her, she bases for one stunt and is a front spot for another. She doesn't do jumps either. She comes home upset that she stands in the back so much. As far as I know, the routine isn't finished though.
Questions:
Questions:
- Is it appropriate to ask the coach whether she'll have a bigger role or wait and see what happens when the routine is finished? What's the best way to approach this, if at all?
- Is it possible that she'd make the full year team and not tumble at all?
- She did a lot of tumbling on the prep team and they had a very successful season. If her skills weren't good enough for the full year why not leave her on the prep team? There are 18 girls on the team so I don't think it's a numbers thing. And I don't think it's a money thing either since not all prep girl made the team. But I'm new so I could be totally naive.
