I have written frequently about how involved in cheerleading my 7 year old Annabel is, this year my 3 year old Riley has also begun to participate in the All-Star program.?They are both on the same squad together and they love it.?This squad is fairly small and they will travel locally to places like Raleigh to compete a few times a year.?Their first competition is in November and lately the parents of a few of the other children have decided that it just isn?t important to bring their daughters to practice.?Practice is one night a week for 2 hours and my daughters have only missed one during the summer when the season began in June.?I do not think this makes me perfect but I do know that this is a TEAM and they are in the middle of learning a routine and unless all of them show up all of the time things are just not going to work.
So this has meant that we have had to have extra practices which means I have had to rearrange some of the girls plans in order to be there on Saturday morning.?This isn?t fair at all to those who are always there during the week and a few of the parents had the nerve to bring their children in late for the Saturday practice and leave early. Myself and some of the other parents were highly upset by this.?We all pay for our children to participate and unfortunately All-Stars is not very cheap. The girls who are there work very hard and want to do well when it comes time for competition but this is not going to happen if everyone does not show up.
I?m at a loss truly on what to do.?My girls love to cheer but I don?t want them looking silly because the other children aren?t showing up.?I wish these parents would realize that cheerleading is a team sport and that we need them to be there! I guess we will see what happens this week? wish us luck!
Have you ever ran into this type of situation when dealing with team sports? How did you handle the situation?
