ABOUT THE GYM:
Its a first year program with a great facility and pretty good coaches.
BACKGROUND:
So its a new new team with new people. I've heard not to try first year programs but I didn't listen. My mistake. It is a senior 4.2 with 21 girls. We have ad three people quit already. Unfortunately my mom has cancer and i feel like it is putting stress on her.
PROBLEMS I HAVE EXPERIENCED:
1. Attitudes- hmm we're teenagers yes we may have an attitude some days. But there are a select few girls who have some nasty attitudes. We have a long chat every practice about attitude. But it is always indirect more of a just in general type of talk so the attitudes continue.
2. Arguments- again we may argue about something but it seems like every few practices there are always people arguing about something. We have had one almost full out fist fight at practice. And there were no punishments given.
3. Attendance- Not the biggest problem. Hey people may be busy some practices. Not until recently we really didn't struggle with attendance. We had a Saturday competition that ended around ten o'clock and most of us had an hour or more drive home. We also have Sunday morning practice that wasn't cancelled and we had a total of five people not show up. We had to remark the routine without them because we had another competition the next Saturday. Not the biggest problem but there more.
4. Stunting- I understand as a base you get hit sometimes and may even get hurt. But we have had maybe a total of three maybe four concussions just in this season. I have gone home with major headaches from getting hit so much. As a 4.2 you have to double down. One of our flyers who is also my flyer, has no body control and will refuse to double down. But the coaches tell her to try it anyways. The main base in our group got knocked out pretty hard and I was nearly knocked out with her feet. Main base felt dizzy so they took her out and our group isn't going up and half of pyramid isn't going up. With competition tomorrow.
5. Passion- Since i have come to this gym i have lost my passion for cheer. I go home complaining to my mom about things she shouldn't be worried about. I nearly regret going to practice because of the things that happen there. It's not fun for me anymore. I just don't enjoy it like I use to.
6. Payments- I understand cheer is very expensive but we pay $310 to have all these unnecessary problems. My parents give up a lo to pay for cheer and to take me to practices and competitions.
THINGS THAT MAKE ME WANT TO STAY:
I have a phenomenal cheer little sister that I absolutely love to death and would do anything for. She is honestly the only reason I stay. But could I quit and still support her on the sidelines? I think i would just feel really guilty leaving her. She is a burst of joy.
THANKS TO ANYONE WHO READ ALL OF THIS! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK!
