Well, Season 3 is upon us and there will inevitably be a few changes in store.
First off, the teams and schedule. I have already decided to shift some of the girls around to make more defined Blue, Green, and White Knights teams. That had to be done. The girls that have been with me for ages are quickly advancing and we've seen so many new registrations lately that they really can't be taught to the same level anymore. Most of the parents of the girls who will be moving times have been spoken to and they are happy with the move. So that's the Tiny, Mini, and Youth/Junior teams settled.
Now onto the Senior team, the Black Knights. These guys have been moved around a number of times to accommodate individual athletes, but that really has to stop. First we were on a Tuesday, but 2 of the team couldn't make it until halfway through training because of work and school. So we went to a Sunday, but then 2 couldn't make it because of work. So we're back to a Tuesday-- and guess what? The 4 in question aren't even on the team anymore!!
This has been more than a little frustrating for me. And so, I have made a decision to change the schedule once and for all starting in September. I plan to put Black Knights back on a Sunday from 7-10pm. The new schedule will be better for those on the team who are going away to university and will mean that Tuesdays can go back to 'Tuesday Tumbles' and be used for the tumbling teams only (and the tumblers will be shifted a bit to allow the Blue Knights more time on their own). It will also mean that Black Knights will benefit from an entire practice on their own-- no more tumblers, no more little ones. And then I can concentrate on whipping that team into a senior team I will be proud to show off if we get a visit from the 'celebrities'. :)
That's all for now...
I am going to speak to the Black Knights tonight. The changes will not take place until September, but I assure you this is the LAST move.
