This March, RAE took several teams to Nationals. Fame was one that faced several challenges. Tumbling mental blocks, at least a third of the team was down for nearly a full month with either a bad flu, bronchitis or pneumonia. The team had only 2 full team practices in over 2 months to gear up for competition.
In a situation like this, coaches have to consider pulling the team from competition or letting them hit the stage. The illness was not the kids fault, fever’s were high and they had to miss practices. After sitting with our RAE family we decided to allow Fame to take the competition floor.
We are very proud to say despite all their challenges they still took home 3rd. Now to some of you third may not sound great. But you need to understand these kids had only 2 full team practices and had to change every stunt group due to some members being out on competition day.
With all these challenges they should have scored very low, but they hit the mats with pride and scored just 1 point behind second place and 2 points behind 1st. Imagine if everyone was healthy and able to make all the practices and hit the floor with the original routine. Well, we will hit the floor one more time before the season ends. Congrats to FAME and See you at internationals!
