Cheer is not the time to F around. Stunts and tumbling can get dangerous

We had a high functioning girl with disabilities try out for our high school dance team every year. Every year she was told she did not make it. The kid loved to dance, and that’s great, but this team was full of highly skilled dancers and they compete. As the years went on, we could definitely see that her mom was the problem. She absolutely could not see the difference in dance ability and was not realistic. To the point where her first year of college, she tried out for the college dance team. It was heartbreaking to see this child have a mom tell her she can make it, and knowing the reality that she can’t.

Why not volunteer to form a cheer team for students with special needs? find sponsors, talk to the board, and get involved. My kid is on the Special Olympics swimming team, where most assistants are volunteering parents. the same coach is now doing soccer.

I saw the OG a few months ago, mom also admitted that she had some special accomodations that the team would not be able to meet, but still expected her child to "at least try out".

Inclusion creates so many problems for the kids that don’t have any disabilities. Life is unfair but that’s how it is

ill never understand the whole "you dont have a lot of followers, your opinion is irrelevant". all it tells me is that the point was too strong for someone to fight back at

This. I bet it is a safety/supervision issue. Depending on the severity or limitations of the disability the disabled person will need specialized equipment, monitoring, and/or instruction. Safety first. Find an adapted program for her.

My autistic butt couldn't get on the squad and many other things even well into high school, when juniors and seniors had some extra "last chance" privileges. I was crushed because I loved it but 20 something years later I know why 100%.

I's said it once and I'll say it again, not all sports are for all kids. And there is nothing wrong with that. I've worked for a Youth cheer team for years and almost every year we have 1 child whose parent wants them on the team but for whatever reason the child is just not able to keep up with the rest of the team and it's just not a good fit. Is it a bummer? Yes. But it's a competitive sport. It's not safe not is it fair to drag down the rest of the team because a parent wants their kid to be a cheerleader. More often than not the parent is the issue and it sucks seeing these kids being stressed out and dissapointed when they realize it's not just shaking poms on a sideline and there's so much more involved.

As a special needs mom, I know my child cannot do certain things. Does it upset me? Yes. Would I ever attack other children bc of it? No. We found an adaptive sports group for him and he loved it! But he couldn’t do it with a normal team. It’s just the reality of things.

i was on the step team with someone on the spectrum. my school does let them on the team but these parents don’t realize how far we fall behind waiting for them to catch up. the teacher having to repeatedly tell them to stop asking others to stop what there doing just to show them the same 2 steps a million times. they ended up just standing on the sides of us doing the dame pose the while time??

Draken from Downtown :
For the record I have no children. I would feel like 💩 if I knew the only reason my child was on a team was because they were special needs; I get wanting everything to be accessible/fair but if their disability prevents them from actively doing the work as everyone else, then they shouldn’t be on the team AND we aren’t in the day & age anymore that parents can bully their kid into organizations

Paid a crazy amount for my daughter to get my daughter like a tutoring type 1:1 & 1:3 tumbling lessons for her to physically keep up w the cheer team she joined for a year. Same when she was in a Hip Hop team (but that was way cheaper, however that dance teacher was my old cheer team member from when I was in uni). Cheer abilities or just 4x the practice + extra sessions. Probably needs outside school dance lessons. Ik sooo many cheer girls have been in dance since they were 3 or something

Dang, that’s messed up. I’m autistic and tried out for cheer… I didn’t make it but they at least let me try 😭 ironically I didn’t make it because of dyslexia 😐

As a teacher, this sort of parent is very tiring. We don't get paid for these extra curriculars. We take them on because we want to provide them for our students. Sometimes these extra curriculars are competitive and so it's a matter of picking the best people for the team. Sometimes they're straight up dangerous! Contact sports, high energy cheer, etc. and we couldn't guarantee the safety of a child who needs extra assistance. As heartbreaking as it is, not every thing is for everybody. Those girls deserve to have a competitive cheer squad without being held back by every cheer needing to accommodate for someone who objectively cannot do any of the proper cheer moves. Harsh but true. I had to cancel our local drama club because it was an after school club, and every special needs parent in the schools decided that meant it was free after-school babysitting. More than half the club were kids who usually required 1 on 1 support in-class, and I was one person and couldn't support all that. Not only that, but they weren't capable of doing any of the regular activities and they didn't have a great interest in drama in the first place. Of the couple who did, they would throw these massive tantrums every time they weren't the main character in a scene (despite not being able to even read out lines) because a lot of these parents have never told these kids NO. The result wasn't integration, it was that all the kids who loved drama, quit the club, and it became an understaffed special needs daycare. I ended the club and then had to deal with the same guilt-tripping "but they just want to be part of it" nonsense when casting our school production the next year. Sorry, no, I'm not casting your special needs daughter who likes to bounce around to the music and can't remember a single line as the main actor of our school performance. I'm gonna pick a kid that can act. They earned it.

One of my high needs students was on the highschool cheer team. BUT her family was very involved to support and it was understood that she couldn't participate in certain things due to safety. Our cheer team also didn't do tumbling. Why didn't mom try to actually work with the adults involved and see if there was a way to accommodate? Those kids were not involved. 😮💨

There are standards for athletic competition and anybody should be able to try out, but there are minimum standards. So if you can meet them, you should absolutely be able to try out.
