You chose the classy way to respond Leelee...me, not so classy. With that being said, the girl that was put in due to the injury left her former gym a few weeks earlier...she was a solid level 5 athlete but the team had no openings, nor did the level 4 team...Coach Leelee happily welcomed her onto her large level 3 team. Due to an injury on the small coed team, this girl was asked to fill in last minute...during all this, the team was redoing the routine and learning a new dance...things were crazy...over site of a stressed gym owner/ coach and the name was left off the roster. Now in comes the owner of the gym where the new girl just left, sees her onstage with her new gym...knowingly she wasn't put on the level 5 team and makes the call which ultimately led to revoking the bid....devastating the team, parents ,coaches. I'm not even affilated with the gym any more but have friends there and am sick over this....just be sure to dot you i's and cross your t's because there are always nasty people out there trying to take you down...sad.

That's really awful and just mean spirited. It's not as if the gym was trying to break the rules by using in ineligible athlete. I hope this owner can live with the disappointment she caused. Doesn't sound like it was really worth it in the end. Not going to help her cause or recruitment/retention tactics any.
 
whose this michelle mastroni i keep hearing about
I believe that would be the owner of the gym the athlete in question left

TO THE GOOGLE!

And who says we never have cheer drama in CT.. :D

ETA: I'm not actually happy about the drama, btw. I have dear friends at USA who I love very much. My heart hurts for them..
 
As an athlete on USA Wildcats Senior Elite, I want to say thank you to everyone who is supporting us. My team and I really appreciate it. Of course we were devastated tonight when we heard the news, but after feeling the love this industry has for us, we decided to turn that frustration and hurt into motivation going into NCA this weekend. We cannot wait to step foot on the mat in the arena and put on a show for everyone!!! Thanks again!

We would also like to congratulate Cheer Extreme Smoex on their bid! They are truly an amazing team who has been nothing but encouraging towards us since the news broke.

I don't get this (and I'm not even talking about just this situation). If someone is cheating, the blame doesn't go to the person turning them in-it goes to those that cheat. I saw the same thing a few weeks ago regarding the PCM mistake-it's their fault for not following the rules, NOT the fault of the person that turns them in.

Do I feel sorry for USA? Yes, because I'm sure it was a mistake and it sounds heartbreaking. But I don't think this industry can determine what is an honest mistake vs intentional cheating, and bad mouth coaches that turn them in (even though this one sounds like a special breed of nasty).

Also, I do hope you get a bid this weekend and show the other coach it doesn't matter at all. Good luck!
 
thank you. we understand that even though it was an unintentional mistake, there are rules to be followed. it was just hard telling those 20 kids tonight. they were pretty much devestated. but they will just come back strong and try again this weekend.
You are the classiest team I have seen in a long time - I am sure your athletes and coaches are devastated by an honest mistake, but your grace and dignity as well as that of your athletes should be commended - we can ALL learn from you.
