I think pyramids are often taught last because it's pretty easy to dumb down (but remain level appropriate) if it's not hitting, and easy to add to as the year goes on. Plus you don't need every group to be doing the hard stuff, you have your bracers and you can put the weaker groups there. With stunts it's harder, because all the groups have to hit the same thing at the same time, and if certain things aren't hitting there's really not another level appropriate thing you can do that's similar, at least at Lower levels... Like you can't dumb down your extended lib in l3 to a Prep lib, because you aren't going to get points for it, so you have to completely change the stunt.My CPs team always learns the pyramid the week before their first comp (December). I guess after 4 years I have learned that the pyramid must not be too difficult if they learned it that quickly. They typically add difficulty to it over the course of the season. Right now everything is about stunting, tumbling, and jumps!
you are way ahead of CP's team. they have showcase that same weekend, and no work has been done on pyramid, elites are going up at belly, not prep (level 2 team) and are shaky and incomplete. We have yet to run a full out with tumbling. No one on the team has ever attempted to cradle from extension or throw a basket toss.We're a little over a month out from our first competition (October 25) and my kids haven't done their pyramid yet. We've worked on all the pieces, but have yet to put it all together. We haven't done our elite stunt to music yet. We just started doing everything else to music about a week ago... After a month of rotating kids in and out of the team (added a kid, another quit, kid we added quit, had to add a crossover to salvage stunt groups) and changing stuff around, I was in a total panic, absolutely sure there was no way we'd be ready. Everything suddenly seems to be falling into place now and I'm way less nervous about having a missing piece left to hit.
This part of the season is always stressful and I don't think there's ever been a year, whether I was a coach or athlete, where I didn't have a moment where I thought we couldn't pull it off. Every year, I've been wrong... It always works out!
