Hi All,
I was looking for some advice on how to handle new structures that have been implemented in our hs cheer program.
I am the head coach and this past year was definitely a trying year. We are hoping to restructure our tryout process and varsity team as a whole.
This past year was mine and my assts. first year as head coaches. The previous years before that they would select majority back handsprings but would take some girls here and there even if they didn't have backhandsprings. This past year we selected them because they had good skills over tumbling.. and were on varsity before.
This upcoming season in an effort to be more competitive, we are planning to send out a memo stating that it is strongly encouraged that to make varsity that you have tumbling.
The snag we are running into is, we are scraping the barrel for backspots. All of the backspots that are supposed to be trying out do not have tumbling and have no intention on getting tumbling in the near future. (Money reasons)
What would you in a situation like this ?
and how would you handle girls making JV that were on Varsity before and received a varsity letter?
