Completely disagree. A lot of these kids are good friends with each other and are excited that their friend just won worlds/nca whatever. my cp is isn't a worlds athlete but she has friends from diff gyms across the country and even canada. they facetime, they follow each other's social...
I agree, plus it gives the expectation that teams aren't set until end of workout group and movement can happen so kids don't get as disappointed as if they are announced on X team then get moved to another team.
Does anyone else find it interesting that the big gym trend of doing workout groups for a month before team announcement is no longer? Seems like they have all gone back to announcing teams within a week.
@diazmomof1 as the majority of experienced parents have already recommended, i second the notion of light makeup and hair done. it doesn't have to be curled and teased but maybe a cute side braid with a high straight pony and bow.

Get Waze, it's amazing and can re-route you if there is heavy traffic. I am sure if you are looking at the gym I think you might be there will be carpools. We have a carpool for our 2 hour with traffic commute. I drive maybe once every 3 weeks and it's amazing. I spend way less time in the...
Agree, and I think the main issue is that CL never said we are giving paid bids at these comps across the country. It's just fishy that this itty bitty comp in Delaware that no one has hear of gives out a FP paid to one team in a particular division and only one team in a particular division...
Don't get me wrong I absolutely LOVE me some Supers and I agree kudos to their coaches for registering them and them receiving the bid. I just think it's shady that CL never said they were giving away full paid bids so other teams could go for them and it seemed like Supers were invited to get...
And regarding big gyms not paying reg fees, totally not true. The only worlds team that I know of that went to CL for free was Super Seniors - they had their reg fee waived and hotel rooms taken care of. They did earn a bid at a super tiny mostly rec comp in Delaware where they were the only...
I find all of this super interesting considering CL was such a cluster f**k this year and has gone down hill since it's first year. I get the vibe that gym owners are making a stand and have chosen this over CL - they all must have communicated about it before all signing up.
