    High School Is it legal for a high school cheer coach to legally put coaches fee/similar on our payment form for cheerleaders?

    In CA there are some exceptions as long as a student is not excluded for non-payment, and "camps" are a legal exception. Most states have some type of conflict of interest policy in place where coaches can't make additional money from their athletes, but cheer coaches may be arguing there...

    Watch the team(s) she would be eligible for next year and observe the skills they are competing. When it comes to the athletes in the gym, the coaches are watching them all year long and have a good idea of skill level, coachability, and maturity long before tryouts. Good stunting skills, the...

    All-Star The death of the Large Divisions

    If you have time, could you share your thoughts on why you feel its dying? Is it because high school aged athletes often stop or move onto new, different, or HS sports? Is it more strategic for a gym to field a small and medium versus a large? Solely from a parent/athlete perspective, I can...

    All-Star The death of the Large Divisions

    I may be wrong, however, I believe the age grid with Open and Global may have impacted many of the gyms and they way they structured their teams. I looked at Stingrays Open, Intl Global and Sr Coed Teams (I did not include Apple, Neon, Peach, Orange) and they currently have: This years Open...

    All-Star IEP/ Summit Bids

    I'm only assuming from my business experience but, it could be for a few reasons. 1) When you have callaboratives with other companies you don't have access to their data. Therefore, you rely on them to get the data to you by a deadline or they aren't included in announcements, advertising...

    All-Star Small Senior 3

    I looked at Summit 2023, and it had 15 Level 3 Sm Sr teams versus 38 Level 4.2 Sr Sm teams. It (4.2) has ended up being a great place for Sr strong level 2 athletes, not as strong level 3 athletes, along with blocking higher level athletes. For those reasons, I can see how it would reduce the...

    All-Star Possible sale of Varsity Brands ($6 billion valuation) 🧐

    The key point is it generates $400 million BEFORE INTEREST, TAXES, DEPRECIATION, AND AMORTIZATION. The SGB media report dated Feb. 9, 2023 is reality versus the creative financing stated in the above article that doesn't remove all expenses. (article): “Varsity’s operating performance has...
