[quote=Anonymous]My DD did Cheer and there were several girls with ADHD on the squad. I will be honest, it was tough because we had practices later in the evening and the kids were just spent after a day of school , after care/homework, hungry, and most of the time their meds had worn off. In the beginning, Cheer can be very repetitious with a lot of static moves at this age with less moving around than you think. It takes them a while to get coordinated arm/leg movements down. And there can be some waiting around if there are not enough co- coaches to work with smaller groups. Once they get the moves down, it does require focus and attention to execute the moves as a group. This again is a lot of repetition of the same exact part of a routine many times so it can quickly get boring. [/quote]
