Is baton twirling a team sport?

   Yes, but the sport of baton twirling is not as limiting as other team sports.   High school students can participate at their school's majorette team.  Many of these teams compete for trophies.   There are also many private companies/ studios that offer baton twirling teams.   The teams may participate in only parades, compete or do both.   Be sure to do your research on the websites that host the competitions these groups participate.  A win can seem more impressive than it actually is.
    The great thing about baton twirling is that you do not need a team to compete.  While many solo competitors are part of a team, it is not necessary.  Some coaches will teach the students who wishes to compete on their own.  Other competitors have parents who twirled as children and choose to teach their own child.   It is possible to teach your own child even if you do not have prior experience.   You just need the ambition to do you research and practice, practice, practice.  There are numerous videos out there to choose from.  I plan on doing a review of these videos at a later date.

Please feel free to ask me any question.
