Exactly. It's one thing to want those more advanced stunts, but you HAVE to make sure that your athletes are ready for it. Just because some girls are able to stick it and wiggle their way to "stay", doesn't make they "have it".
Also, athletes shouldn't feel bullied into doing stunts they do...

Awe - all your responses are so sweet! Thank you! I'm glad I chose Mac for my daughter. She's a level 1 in Youth White, so were not too advanced but I really debated on which gym to put her in. I went with my "gut" on where she'd get the best training in the area. We will be doing local comps...
When will you be back? We could have a play date for the girls. This year my CP is going to the Draper location, but next year she will be going to the N. Salt Lake location. Both are about the same distance towards me... but having gone to Draper the traffic going south seems to make the drive...
All-Stars, hands down.

New to this...
Is the seating at comps first come, first serve? Or are the teams permitted reserved "areas" for parents/spectators for fans on that gym in a certain section? Asking for regional, national & comps.
It wouldn't be very fun having to mud your way through in order to get a good...
Why would any all-star gym decline a bid to go to
worlds? Does anyone know why a gym would decline? I went to the website and it seems like each year there are a number of gyms that do decline the bid. Why wouldn't a gym accept it? Isn't that throwing away an opportunity of a lifetime?
I'm sorry...that's really disheartening. I had one of the older girls give me a dirty look when I was helping my daughter during a water break. I just chalk it up to her being a bratty teenager. However, that really shouldn't be an excuse. Overall though, everyone else has been wonderful and...
My daughter is going to Mac's Cheer Gym here in Utah.
Mac's seems to have a pretty decent record with a good amount of National wins & going to worlds for the 7th time, and placing 3rd in one of their divisions this year. They were the only cheer gym in Utah to bring two teams to worlds this...
