I have a daughter on one of the teams that was coached by the person who will be heading up CEA IL. She is an amazingly talented coach (my opinion). I wish her and CEA IL best of luck! I do not know what happened and I honestly don't need to know. It is what it is and all my CP can do is...
I have heard an athlete say that once she gets all of her tumbling she is going to try something different...a L5 athlete at my last gym left because she had a higher tumbling level than what is allowed in cheer. Maybe sometimes athletes are ready for a new challenge.
My daughter's gym had 1 qualifier on the schedule. We attended and her team earned an At Large Bid - they are going. We are all very excited and proud of the team. I believe that the EP only gave away 1 paid and 3 at large bids at that event!
There was an AWESOME parents team out yesterday! They where throwing Standing Tucks, Layouts and had fierce stunting! Not sure what gym they where with but kudos to the parents and gym!!!
