You have to be creative! A LOT of the stuff was donated by supporters, parents and friends. Our budget for the entire season was $60 a kid. We got all of that with that budget. Ask local companies to sponsor them. Write a very heartfelt letter asking for help.
I wish I still had the video. When my CP was on Sirens (Fame) the first year they got the bid to summit, the team mom went ALL OUT (she went all out the 2nd year too but she definitely set the bar for other teams). We had a team fund that everyone contributed to at the beginning of the season...
I have taken my CP to a few other gyms to tumble. There was no problem whatsoever. Her coaches/gym owner knew also. I think it all comes down to loyalty. It also comes down to integrity of the gym you're visiting. As long as they're under the understanding that you're simply there to tumble and...
Then if you choose to take the vacation, take whatever consequences may come from it. A bonus at work doesn't negate responsibility. Visiting a family member who maybe doesn't have much time left would warrant a conversation with the coach to explain the situation. (I don't consider that a...
Then don't commit to a sport as demanding as cheer. Play soccer or softball. While those are also team sports, your absence doesn't hinder the teams successes. If you're committed to the sport, be committed. It's one thing to plan ahead, it's quite another to ignore a schedule given to you and...

ok? But they still can't tumble so what's the advantage? And don't say stunting because literally, that's the whole reason for the NT division...focus on stunts, dance and motions.
exaaaaccctly! That's how I see it. The mega gym is not going to dismantle their successful teams to make new little ones. I don't see the appeal in that and doubt it would happen. But take Fame for instance, they have 9 locations, but our beach gym doesn't have a world's team at all. All of the...
(I have no dog in this fight so this is strictly from the outside looking in) Please do not take these questions as argumentative or condescending in any way. I am just trying to understand both sides.
1. What would be your suggestion for D2 gyms in this situation?
2. Would you suggest...
