I guess it could work. The tumbling aspect wouldn't concern me as much as having inexperienced flyers/bases attempting Level 4 stunts. Although I think Level 4 basing seems to be more feasible to me for a Level 1 kid to learn and progress in than flying.
It just seems odd to me that such a large gym is plugging new kids in at such a high level rather than at the very least, a Senior 2 if nothing else. Is every new kid (as in never cheered before and has Level 1 or even no skills) at CEA placed Level 3 or higher?
Any other gyms placing Level 1 kids on 3, 4, or 4.2?
I can totally see that some kids can come in and pick up skills at that level in no time (especially younger kids) but what about those who can't?
Last year we had a j1 and a senior 4.2 so we had several brand new kids on our 4.2 team and they were pretty successful.
This year we have a j1, j2, and a 4.2 their team placement depended on the kid and how they pick up/progress.
We have other teams also and out of the eight competitive teams we have, four are levels 1/2. Which has been awesome because there is a spot for everyone even if they have never cheered before.
