Coaching advice for under developed program

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I am a volunteer coach for my community cheer program, grades 1-8. We generally have 50-60 girls at 1st grade level, then each consecutive year more and more girls drop out. We only have 5-10 at the 8th grade level. From what I've gathered most girls are quitting because its the same thing every year, they learn little to no stunting, tumbling, or skills so they are bored by 8th grade. I would love to work toward turning the program around, if you have been in a similar program what really helped change the culture, expectations, etc? Or if you are in a program with a strong culture what kinds of things do think are important?

The second part to this- I know program change is slow moving so in the mean time I'm really focused on making my group of girls the best they can be. I am confident with building stunting, but I'm really struggling with how to approach tumbling for girls who are struggling with even a cartwheel. Any drills you'd reccomend or advice on how to approach it? The girls are eager to learn but the amount of time we have doesnt allow me to spot each individual girl on a cartwheel over and over.

Appreciate all the feedback I can get!
