So glad I am not the only one who thinks this. Its not just with thier lvl 5 teams though. Some moms and I were just duscussing this the other day. I feel bad for those kids who have talent and could help create a great team but are not competing at the appropriate level and it shows in their...

Really I think this whole thing boils down to the fact that for years CAC was the only gym on that side of town and now they won't be. They could do whatever they wanted and there was not a close option when people get unhappy because their kids aren't progressing or their teams aren't good and...

Why is it that everyone hates CEA? Could it be that they are better than CAC? How can anyone make comments on how CEA runs or if they teach kids good life lessons if their child doesn't cheer there? why is everyone so concerned about what Courtney does? She runs a successful program that just...

Forgot to post about recruiting...many more gyms recruit than you think. this is to to anyone specific BUT just because you are not aware of it at your specific gym does not mean it does not happen. Especially those of you who state that it does not happen at your gym...

What does it really matter? Anyone can open a gym anywhere they want. Obviously Courtney knows what she is doing with her athletes considering she has 70+ driving to Kernersville, so now the kids in Charlotte or at CAC have another option right down the road. Of the kids that do drive I am...

Regardless of what all the information is in this story the truth IMO is that really they do not have the financial problems she is stating they have. If in reality the family was on food stamps, they are living in a friends house and she is not working where is the $ to drive an hour and a half...

I am always amazed at how some parents let their children act. It is our job as parents to raise our children to be respectful and hard working adults so that they are successful members of society. Do parents not realize that if they dont nip it now they are going to regret it later? Neither of...

Wow, this is the first i have heard of something like this. It is shocking to me that this happens! I love my kids but if i cant pay my mortage for ONE month cheer would be the first to go! My daughter loves it and would be heartbroken to have to leave but i am pretty sure she would be more...

carolinagirl1823-what team do you know that is "flattered" that the other team "is excited to edge them out for first"? thats just a silly statement. There are actually teams that are excited to win second and do want a moment to celebrate their place. Especially in the story i posted above...

Nothing botehrs me more as a parent when sitting at awards and the second place team gets called and then at that point first palce knows they won and they are off their feet and screaming so loud that second place does not even get one sinlge moment to enjoy their place. The worst was at a mini...

I think the answer to this questions depends on the child. Some kids do great with one on one instruction and others do not.

I agree that regardless of what level your Cp is they should show progress in some area of cheer each season. It shouldnt matter which area just somewhere. It could bebetter jumps, a better stunter or just in better physical shape. I would compare it to paying for private school. If i paid all...

As a mom I would let her pick 2 activites. let her make the choice. she is old enough to make a decision about what she wants to do. Give her time to really think about all the things she wants to do and give her a deadline by when she has to decide. Be supportive and help her through the...

I had a friend who had a daughter that had a terrible mental block. It was so painful to watch her try to tumble. She did not want to let her team down but she could not make her body do it. once the season was over and she was just doing open tumble and the pressure was off she made so much...

I think that if a family is not hapy at their gym then they need to be somewhere else. In our gym if you don't want to be there, we dont want you there. The last thing I want to hear or have my child exposed to is an unhappy parent saying nasty things about the program we love. There is a lot of...

I think it is encouraging to see such young kids setting goals and pushing themselves to obtain those goals. Ita a great life lesson for them. I do think that it is the coaches job to be sure they are learning their skills properly and not let them get to a point where they are pushing...

IMO too sick to compete is when your Cp does not want too. Even your youngest child will refuse their favorite activity, ice cream etc if they are too sick, so my advice would be to see how they react. As a parent you should know your child. I know when my Cp is really sick. If she sleeps all...

I stated this in another post "if you look for a negative you are going to find one in EVERYTHING!" Either this board has a lot of angry people, or people that just think they can do it better. Parents sure seem to think they can run a gym better or coach a team better. But the joke is on them...

I am very interested in my daughters life as well but if she is happy I am happy. If she doesnt come home every practice upset and saying she hates her caoch, team etc life is good. Kids need to learn the tough life lessons like they will not always be in the front, there will always be someone...

what you are unaware of is that I have had experiences with both CAC and CE and I was just giving my opinion on the program we are happy with. This parent was just asking for suggestions on programs and since no one was able to give any valid information on CE I felt like she deserved to know...
