Question
i am on a cross over team this year! i dont think i have enough time to do both, but i feel like i need to


Answer
Hi Jenna,

   I know its tough when you feel pressured into doing something, such as a crossover, but you have to really think hard about what is going to best for you and what you can really handle. Talk to your parents as well. Figure out exactly how much time will be required of you if you do this. Is it just a bit more than one team? Or, is it a ton of extra time you don't have? If you look at the situation and you really think you can't handle it, then its best to say something now before a routine is built with you in it. So, the only thing to can do is think hard, and talk it over with your parents until you decide what to do. Good Luck!

Happy Cheering!
