Oh! That must be their Restricted 5 that they had last season. Do you know if they're Restricted again or just 5?

Just 5. No restricted 5 teams in Kernersville this season!!!

mstealtoyou I really tried...I promise I'll try to be more blunt next time instead of the hints

If you notice, all of the ______ Elites are out of Kville

The _________ X teams are from Raleigh.

Except IOC

Somethings that work for one gym may not work for others. At try outs there were 197 level 5 athletes that tried out alone. This season coming up in the K-ville gym there are going to be 7-8 level 5 teams alone. Now add in level 1-4 mini to sr age teams and your talking a ton of athletes. This meeting was the best solution to house the athletes and parents for one major parent meeting. If you know courtney she loves ceremonies which i think is amazing. When you get older and look back you may not remember every comp of the season but you will remember your first meeting of the season with 2000 new friends and family, finding out what team your on. It also allows parents the chance to ask questions face to face with the staff and not over phone or email. A little personal touch done with class

It was actually so sweet and special of them! My daughter's mini team had her name in Disney font and a Mickey Mouse sticker on the back and this certificate that gives you a feel of importance for being chosen for that team-regardless of level.

You coming back to Kville anytime soon? Btw, I'm the one you met at the gold party who thought you were IOC

The more I ruminate on this the more I like it. I imagine coaches would be aware of the athletes that might be disappointed with team placement and will keep an eye out for them, ready to swoop down with a hug, an explanation and a way to make them feel important to their team even if it wasn't the one they had their heart set on. Similar to CA making personal phone calls to all athletes. They both handle an extraordinary amount of athletes and appear to make each one feel recognised and loved. Kudos to those with a vision.

Exactly-plus if a parent had any questions as to their child's placement they could speak to any one of the coaches directly about it then and there.

And for some kids, its going to be horrible and a nightmare. Not that I think people shouldn't celebrate victory, but some kids are going to be upset that they didn't make a certain team or level. Yes, you can argue that life isn't fair and kids need to learn this, but its alot easier to learn it in the privacy of their own home than out in front of 200 of their closest peers.

It wasn't a requirement to attend and find out this way; however, most of the CEA family loves special touches like this and it was a good way to address all of the parents at once regarding the decision making process and the upcoming season

I'm very nice and welcoming. Ask anyone. Just didn't see the need for the tone of your post, so I commented.

You're the only one that gets to be harsh??

I was not being harsh. The problem with emails, texts etc is that the person writing the message and the person reading it can be in a totally different mind set and it mean two different things. Believe me, if I was being harsh, you would have known. I was there last night. I saw alot of kids very happy (including mine) and thats great. They have worked hard and deserve everything they get. But there were a few that you could tell were upset. As a parent, I feel for those kids. It breaks my heart to see any kid hurt or disappointed. Sure, it happens and everyone has to deal with it. But the kids are hurt and somewhat embarrassed as their peers were running around screaming and yelling. If you think I'm being harsh for feeling bad for these kids, thats your problem. Not mine.

I have a very strong personality and I'm rather opinionated....those things tend to leak out. What I found, is when I was new to the board, I really focused on ensuring my posts and tone etc. we're as positive or neutral as possible when weighing in on a thread simply because people didn't know me yet. Now that I've been around a while, I don't tend to be quite as OCD about ensuring my personality is kept in check (given the things you said about posting, emails and texts etc.) because I think people know me and who I am well enough to "get" my tone without me having to apply it with a sledgehammer.

You said, if you were being harsh we would've known...I think that's the issue we just don't know you yet anymore than you are probably familiar with ACEDAD who is one of the most positive, awesome posters on this board.

So my suggestion is to build a positive reputation first (which takes some work) to not only benefit your experience on the board but to not give whatever gym you're associated with a poor representation either.

It's just a thought.

Thank you. I will keep that in mind. But it works both ways. Give the new people the benefit of the doubt. Dont say stuff like "Good screen name. I encourage it's use. " when you don't know someone. And don't jump to conclusions about someones tone of a post. If you think they are being harsh, ask them why they are upset about something instead of trying to start a fight. Most people are here to make friends and learn more about Allstar Cheerleading. At least, thats whats this Shy Lurker is trying to do.
