I wonder if we will now see an increase in participation with Acro/Tumbling. CP is now talking about looking at Acro and Tumbling in college instead of cheer.
CP has struggled with blocks on and off for years. Just going by what I have witnessed with her there is no quick fix. It takes a lot of dedication and mental training to break through. What has worked for her is a number of things 1. Alison Arnold program. It is work and does not happen...
I definitely don't think you are SM. This sport is exhausting and our kids work so hard. I have been around it for a long time, long before WORLDS and every competition was important. Now kids look forward to being on a worlds team solely. It is not what parents are pushing the industry is...
The more I thought of your situation the more I can understand. The wait one more year is not a big deal, two more is. I can think of one child in particular that is my daughters friend in another state who just missed the cut off this year for a worlds team. She is ridiculously talented and...
Truthfully, I feel like CP would have felt not good enough if she didn't make a worlds team at 12. There is a lot of pressure and I think she could have benefited with another year of maturing. This is her 5th year on a LVL 5 team and I would have been fine with her staying j5 another year, her...
The Gym CP was at previously had practice on Halloween and I took her to the mall right after school to trick or treat for 1 hour and straight to practice. She was ages 4-9 levels through the years 1-5. Practices were mandatory always. CP new gym (well not new its her 4th season) usually cancels...
I'm not trying to be rude but why would
You sign a contract like that? I understand not getting any money back that you have already paid but having to pay for future costs plus a 500 rechoro fee is excessive and that includes an injured child that's crazy to me.
I would absolutely say something. Accidents happen but this appears to be more than an isolated incident. I would not want my daughter basing someone who is wet and smells like pee constantly. It in incredibly unsanitary and just gross. Why should the rest of the group suffer for 1 child. If the...
Agreed. I am ready for less travel. I LOVE CPs gym, but I wish more of these comps were drive able. The industry as a whole need to reel it in. We have 5 flights this season 4 if I am willing to drive 9 hours to the closer one. I'm one of the crazy moms working 2 jobs to keep CP in the sport...
Your CP has had a rough few months. I have ZERO doubt that she will achieve all her goals. The only time frame that matters is hers. I know its hard not to compare but trust me it will only drive you and her crazy. Looking back I would have done things soooo differently. Hindsight is 20/20. She...
