Does this seem like alot of cheer practice or is it normal?

Question

im in jv cheer-i have monday, tuesday, and wednesday practices 3:30-6 or 5:30, then games on thursday at 7:30-9:30, then i have to be at the varsity games for a quarter on friday nights. does this seem like alot of work, or just average? im in honors math and spanish 2 and word civ. how do i manage my time?

Answer 1

get over it in actual sports (like football) you actually have to be at practise every day and be at all the games the whole time

Answer 2

I personally don't think it is. I think it also depends on how you view it:  as a sport or recreational time? In sports, in order to be the best, its better to keep at it. Most teams that keep at it are winners.

Also, you're getting closer and in to the real world. This means you are going to have to learn to multitask. As you get older, and go to college (if you choose so), you'll have to multitask, however this is a more laid back environment for some.

Either way, you're going to have to start to learnt to multitask difficult things, and I think you should be looking at this as the perfect opportunity to do so.

You can either drop one of the things you've listed (class or cheerleading), whichever one you think is least beneficial, or you can learn to take on the challenge and figure out managing it all.

When you get into a good job, you're going to have to do the same thing, and especially if and when you add on a family.

You're going to have to learn to balance it all sooner or later, so you may as well do it now since the opportunity presents itself.

(as for "how do you do it?", I honestly cannot answer that. i'm a homemaker and I still haven't figured it out. lol)

Answer 3

That seems pretty normal for cheerleading. That's about the amount of cheer practice I have, and I am only on the middle school team.

Answer 4

I don't think it is bad at all

My volleyball team practices a lot more than that

and My soon - to - be 7th grade sister has practice for 4 hours Sunday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and 2 hours Monday and Tuesday  

Answer 5

its very normal. You actually don't have it as bad as i do. I'm also a cheerleader and at my school we have practice monday through thursday. And then on friday we cheer for jv then have to wait there afterwords for the varsity game. And sometimes we have practices on the weekend.  

Answer 6

No, it's not that much.  My daughter has gymnastics practice from 7:00-8:30 every morning before school; after school she has cheer on Mon & Wed from 4:00-6:00; games on Thurs 7:00-9:00; gymnastics on Tues & Fri from 4:00-8:00 and Sat from 8:00-1:00.  And she takes all honors classes.  If she can do it, so can you.

Answer 7

I had practice at 5-7 am in the morning during summer

then when school started 2:50-5 Monday- Thursdday

Friday's are varsity so we had a choice

Saturday's was jv games

i thought my schedule was alot and it was but it kept me active and out of trouble

What you should do is when your in class you need to focus and on school and don't worry about unimportant things because the more u focus and listen the more u realize u don't need to study as much because you listened in class and you know what thier talking about

Plus you should do all ur homework on the day they assign it and projects early

i realize you have Saturday's and sunday's free if you have any extra homework that needs to be done do it first then take the rest of the saturday and sunday to relax and chill or take care of important things
