All-Star Furthest Weekly Commute

I believe that girl eventually stayed with a host family

She was on Senior Elite for 2 years. In 2011 she flew back and forth and 2012 she stayed with a host family.

Didn't that Aaron guy who cheered for Cali coed 2 years ago fly from Detroit

yep! He's been on Michigan extreme small coed the past 2 years but aged out this year.

She stayed with a host family in 2011 as well. I remember it well.

If I ever asked my mom if I could fly to cali/Texas/nc for practice she would look at me like I was crazy.

If you live in Florida and fly out to Cali/Texas to cheer there...why not just Top Gun?
I understand why for some people, but if you're just flying out there to be on a Worlds contender...isn't that what Top Gun is...

Very different routine styles,coaching, etc.......... Maybe it wasn't a fit for them?

I understand if that's the reason, but if the sole reason is to just go there so you have a really good chance of winning Worlds, why not ?

We can't judge other people's decisions. Just because it's not one you would make doesn't mean it wasn't the right one for them. Personally, I would NEVER have flown to cheer. My mom would have laughed in my face. She complained about my 30 minute drive. But if someone has the income and the willpower to do it, more power to them.

 

[laughAlittle]

I would rather put my money in a college fund.

As a mom, I could not imagine having my child fly to practice or live with a host family..I would miss her too much

One of the kids I heard of had thier tickets booked out for a year. That way it was relatively inexpensive to fly in and out weekly.

If you're a level 5 and you want to cheer for a certain gym you don't let distance get in your way. Isn't that part or what cheerleading teaches our cp's - work hard for what you want and don't let anything get in your way of achieving it?

I wish my parents had this attitude.

 

[Eyes On The Prize]

Didn't Bucky travel from NJ to FL to be on Top Gun Co-Ed?

 

[WisconsinIsFierce]

If this is what they have to do to achieve their dreams and they can make it happen, why not? Obviously it's not for everyone (money, time, etc.), but props to them for going after what they want.

Florida to NC? Really? My dad gets mad when i ask to tryout for a team thats an hour and a half away.

 

[TheVipersMom]

I wouldn't let my child fly but I most definitely would move for her to cheer!

When I moved I could only choose from San Antonio or Orlando (because we moved away from Jaylen's dad I needed an excuse or the courts were going to laugh in my face but now i'am out of TN i can go anywhere... Lol) and but yes we did move here because cheer is better then in TN.

But if my daughter continues and this is something she loves and wants to do then I would definitely consider a move to Dallas for CA or Maryland for F5 because if she one day has the skills and she wants a worlds ring and if CA and Twisters or who ever else are still hot and if her gym can't provide her a worlds win and if that's what she wanted it would not be out of the question!
