I wanted to start a discussion about both how often/ how realistic it is to kinda start at the bottom as a cheer newbie (and maybe be on a tiny/mini/youth 1) and actually progress through to level 2, 3, 4, and finally on a worlds lv 5 team at a gym.
I say big gyms because these are the gyms that would most likely offer most if not all levels in their program. Like I'm curious... how many Panthers came to CA w/ maybe only a roundoff and front walkover? How many girls on Rays Orange actually learned a backhandspring at Rays? Things like that.
I know lots of athletes kinda start in gymnastics and learn lots of skills there first or lots start in smaller programs first and then kinda feed into larger programs for the higher levels, but roughly how many kids have strictly learned their tumbling/ jumping/ stunting technique and skills through one program?
Just curious. Athletes? Parents? Coaches? Care to share?
