Obviously our bodies did not evolve to flip and twist on a regular basis. How many times a week is too many?

It was, but I welcome any and all responses from all-star parents.This was posted in high school cheer - was this question directed solely to high school cheerleaders?
At his point in the season the varsity squad does not go to any tumbling classes; not sure if they ever did as a team.
Cp used to go to tumbling at all star gym once a week but stopped when she joined varsity in November as the times conflicted and it was just too much betweem hs and all star practices.
I think the answer to this question is going to depend on how competitive the team is. With my experience, Middle School is a harder division than varsity. The reason why I am saying this because usually the top 5 middle school at Nationals can compete against any varisty squad and do extremely well.So what would be the ideal number of times per week for middle schoolers vs high schoolers?
So true! Lots of tucks and some fulls. It's hard to bust that out when they're so young.I think the answer to this question is going to depend on how competitive the team is.

That being said, team tumbling once a week at a gym, then there is tumbling during practice and additional 3 nights a week.....and this is for all squads MS and up. Our rec squads take tumbling with a private tumbling instructor at the school.
The important thing, I believe is that you have to train your body to do certain things and when you stop tumbling (you are older now) you should continue to do some sort of a work out and you should be fine; like riding a bike.
Last week my daughter came to help out at practice and one smart mouth girl that she was helping with her tumbling said after she corrected her on something "I am doing it right, if you could do then show me' and I was shocked that she just stepped up and through a RBHS tuck.....she haven't tumbled in 4 years and just had a baby that is now 4 mths.......
So I think if you take care of your body and do some sort of physial workout (walk, streatch) I think the body will will be fine......
Funny fact: I started taking tumbling classes with my girls at the gym when I was 40! Yea me! and I stopped after I got my BHS. Haven't attempted that in years and I doubt that I could throw anything right now.
