Turns 1

Nothing is as impressive as a group executing a perfect turn sequence. But how can you train
your group to master fouette's, axles, or box pique's when they can't seem to hit their doubles? Start by learning the basics in this four week course.
Why is proper technique important?
If you or your team can't do a proper single turn, there is NO way the doubles and triples will come. You may be able to fake it, but won't get the precision that wins the medals. Don't lose hope trying to "unteach" bad technique. Use the combinations provided to reinforce the right way to do things.

Small Town Teams

dTe gets a lot of requests for help from coaches and officers facing challenges as a result of being in a small town which offers little in the area of talent and resources. Coaching a team in a small town presents unique situations and challenges for a coach or team leader, especially when that coach is new or inexperienced, or if the team is new. "Innovative Ideas for Small Town Teams" has been designed to offer the newest, most innovative ideas on running a successful small town team. Often small town schools lack coaching candidates, and appoint a parent or teacher as the director who has absolutely no experience in running such a team. Then they throw them to the wolves to figure out what to do. Whether dealing with starting a new team, working on a bare bones budget, or trying to work with a bare bones team, you will find creative, real life solutions to these situations and more.
