I think putting these level 3/4 athletes on a level 5 or 6 team brings up a few counter productive things. It first and formeost has them training stunts and tumbling they may not be ready for which is a safety issue...and Worlds aside theres plenty of level 5 and 6 teams across the country that while they may not be Worlds competitors have at least squad fulls and are well rounded teams why make teams that are grossly disadvantaged? And I know there are those that would try to push, up skills and advance too quickly...I cant even imagine having to teach a double full basket to to someone whose most advanced basket was a toe touch or kick full...thats when I think crazy coaching and unrealistic goals come into play.
I see it at my own gym and I see it a lot at other gyms I travel to and do camps or choreography at...Kids who've graduated and are going to the local college or university one of which may not have a program and the other whose program lacks organization and structure, or sometimes even just a matter of scheduling and time constraints.
Shutitdown...how does this division effect the large senior and unlimited coed divisions?
