Do you think that there should be more or less practices per week? do you think that enough things get done @ practices? I personally think we should have more practices next season, because I don't feel enough gets done. Whats your opinion?
R u crazy? I think there is plentyof practice each week!!! Just make sure it is productive when u r there!. We want to have time to do other things in our lives as well as cheerleading. We need to be well rounded and I think Cali is finally showing that you can do well and still be able to do others things besides cheer and still be awesome as a cheer organization! We don't want to live in the gyms not do we????
I agree with you "nope", I don't think there is enough time at practice to get everything done. I do also agree with "wut?" that I do want time in my life to do other things, but if 2 hours doesn't hurt, then why would 3?
I think we have plenty of time. My team (Motions Maroon) works very hard and we get everything done that Nelson expects us to. Every night that I leave Motions I have a satifaction of knowing that my team works hard. We may be lazy sometimes and granted that is unnacceptable but we have plenty of time to practice. If you're saying that there isnt enough practice time for those without handsprings to get handsprings or flyers who cant pull scoprions to pull them at practice, then sure. There really wouldnt be time. But the fact that you can work on your scorpions at home and take privates to get your back handspring remains. Use your practice time as an advantage of being with your team. You've got plenty of time. Trust me, you dont want to be in the gym for 4 days at 12 1/2 hours a week.
my team does practice 4 days a week and 12 1/2 hours. I dont think its too much i think its perfect.we get everything acomplished and more. as they say PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!
We practice 3 days and 7 hours MANDATORY total, but of course there are those who put in more time over and above that. But yes, more is better, can't argue that one.
As for the well rounded aspect? Hmmmm, I get good grades, have a PT job and do a FT sport. I am prepared for my career at a young age. IT doesn't get any more well rounded than that. The hardest part for me? The summer vacation from the gym! I don't know HOW those other girls do nothing all day!!! The mall is B-O-R-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!!!
well, 'allstar', I also practiced 4 days a week at a total of 12 1/2 hours last year, and we didnt win a single national championship in the level 5 division. a lot of the time we didnt even get to run our routine full out. if you are one of the people i think you are, then you know that i am right. i think it doesnt matter how MUCH you practice, but HOW you practice.
Bryan, I do agree with you. I know that if you have a team that talks a lot, then it wont make a difference if you have more practices or not. But, my team is not like that, and I think that if we have more time we could polish our routines even more then we couldif we didn't have more practices. And, my team doesn't practice as much...we only go in 2 nights per week, and only get to stay for 2 hours. So I understand that you feel you don't need more practice time, but you have more time to practice then most of us. Just my opinion!
even if your team doesn't talk a lot, if they don't try to work full out, then it would be a waste of time...But I don't think that sr. maroon is a lazy team..I think it is just all about if the team wants more time or not!
