Competition Team

When Alison got asked to join the Varsity cheer team, she was originally supposed to be an alternate.  However, her coach left the door open to move up depending on her progress with her tumbling and her attitude.  After the cheer camp that the varsity girls went to, the coaches apparently decided to revamp the squad.  They were going to formally appoint the “competition team” and the alternates, and the alternates would have the opportunity to go down and join the JV squad so that at least they could compete.  Alison said if she was going to be an alternate she would just stay on the varsity team and not compete because to go down the JV would require her to do double practices and learn two routines.  So in addition to her school schedule, she just thought it would be too much. 

Well she doesn’t have to worry about it, because Alison found out today that she made the competition team!  She is very excited, and Kris and I are very happy for her.  She has put a lot of work into making the Varsity squad, and it has paid off!  I’m not sure who else has made the competition team with her, because she had to run off and do stuff with her friends, but I am sure we’ll find out soon enough.  Congratulations Ali!
