hannah made her cheer team for next fall 7th grade!

cool!! i did color gurad in high school!

That is great! Does Hannah have an OBPI? If so, how does it affect her cheer movements. I was a former Jr. High and High school cheerleader and my 8 yo. old daughter is interested, but feels that she will be at a disadvantage due to her LOBPI. She can raise her arm overhead (although it is not perfectly straight) ,but she cannot really put her hand on her hip--which could be a problem. Just wondering if you made the coach/judges aware of her disability or not? Just interested b/c I have thought of these things when wondering if my daughter might try out when she gets older.
