After another long weekend at a "Nationals" competition, I'm increasingly more frustrated. as a small gym that doesn't qualify as a "small gym," how do we compete against huge mega-corporations? Our cheerleaders can't try out for the elite senior teams when we may only have enough age appropriate kids for one senior team. It's near impossible to have truly on level teams because to do so would move some kids down a level (sometimes 2) and you risk upsetting the kids (well let's face it, more so the parents) enough that they quit. But more them up and you create a " below level" team. I just feel that instead of "small gym" there be a "large gym." Now of course, we can keep our competitions to very small events, but that's no fun (and why should we have to)?
Just wondering if anyone else is stuck in "not small enough" purgatory and has some advice.
Thanks!!!!
