In regards to the different gyms blaming Cali for their problems. All I'm going to say is this: Cheerforce, in my opinion, are a better program than Cali. always have been, always will be. They have phenomenal kids at every level. And for how close they are TO California allstars, they do a dang good job of keeping their kids. They are a family there. They also have A worlds medal or two and harbors one of the best small senior 5 teams back in the day, BEFORE CALI. They're doing their own thing and clearly succeeding. PCM is entering it's fourth season... Only fourth, and it's only a few athletes smaller than Cali. They have harbored five worlds teams, all five of which have very strong chances of placing top ten. They don't really need to complain - the owners have raised their kids from mini level and are now reaping the benefits of their merger.Cali seems to have the formula that works. They are able to run a great gym and a successful business at the same time. I dont know why there is so much back lash coming from everyone. If i have to pay the large some of money it takes to have a child in this sport i want the best i can give them. These other smaller gyms need to start working on getting the formula perfected for their gym instead of blaming their troubles on Cali.
As far as the comment regarding free tuition...all gyms do that and probably have a large # of athletes not paying on their worlds teams. And dont think those costs are not somehow passed down to you when you pay your tuition fees.

Power has been a phenomenal gym for a long time - longer than I can remember.
There just seems to be a precedent of a up and coming program who harbors amazing talent FROM these programs, it's a fact. I personally believe that Cali sees gyms doing well and opens gyms near them. It clearly works for them. I know personally I'm not complaining - you can cheer or coach wherever you want in life, that's the beauty of this industry. But I don't see one location of theirs which wasn't opened as a strategy to pull kids from other gyms. Feel free to disagree, just my belief. It's not changing. It doesn't take away from the fact that they have a great program - it's just how they do things.
