My daughter is 4 (5 in October) and she currently does gymnastics (twice a week) since she was 2, and Dance(ballet/tap) since she was 3. Now she wants to try Cheer.
Great okay! I signed her up for pk sideline Cheer in town for the fall season. However she does NOT want to give anything up. (She wants to do it all)
My first question is with the activities she currently has what should we adjust in order to prevent burnout? Shes also homeschooled so we atleast have that.
My second question is what is the difference between all-star and sideline? Am I doing her a disservice if she wants to compete later on by not starting her early?
Third what skills should we work on? Does sideline Cheer at 4 even utilize gym skills or. . .?
Finally what is the culture like? Especially here in TEXAS. I dont fit in well with dance moms, let alone cheer moms. Im alt, but Hella supportive of my daughter. We show up, encourage, and do our best. I know texas. I know how they feel about cheer and football. What am I signing us for? 😭
