    Is This A Polite Way For The Gym To Say We Are Unwanted?

    I am a bit surprised by the idea that indicating on a form that asks, that you would like a level 3 or 4 team means there are some "very specific requirements". Is it ludicrous to think that an athlete might not feel she can commit herself to a level 1 team when she has been a solid 4 (now 5)...

    Is This A Polite Way For The Gym To Say We Are Unwanted?

    She has only ever been a flyer...and I assume based on their desire to have her on the NT lvl 6 that they felt she had adequate flying skills. She has a needle, a nice bow and arrow and a lovely heel stretch.... she's always solid and works well with bases. When she tried out she said she was...

    Is This A Polite Way For The Gym To Say We Are Unwanted?

    It is very odd- most of the others who are the same level are all on the non tumble 6. They are all a little confused as well, but they love stunting and like the idea of worlds, so I guess they are ok with it.

    Is This A Polite Way For The Gym To Say We Are Unwanted?

    Right- it doesn't make sense to me, so I am taking it as a we don't really want you here. My husband suggested it was more that they know we go with the flow and as a new business needed to try to place others in order to keep their business assuming we would not leave.

    Is This A Polite Way For The Gym To Say We Are Unwanted?

    She is 15, about 4'11 (4' 10 and 3/4 at her appt last week) and 82 pounds of solid muscle. She marked any team, any position, on tryout forms but I don't think she knew that a senior 1 even existed. She has her standing full and 2 to full standing. She was working on the roundoff, arabian...

    Is This A Polite Way For The Gym To Say We Are Unwanted?

    I want to add: She has had those tumble skills for several years. They are not new, emerging skills. The tumble coach had her doing a pass with her double that went corner to corner and bounced back the other way. I am not just a mom thinking my kid can tumble better than she can. The...

    Is This A Polite Way For The Gym To Say We Are Unwanted?

    They said she would still not base the lvl 1- she asked. She's rather small for her age. The only conclusion I can come to is that they didn't really want her at the gym. The coaches always told us she is very coachable, very polite, takes correction, hard worker... were they lying to us...

    Is This A Polite Way For The Gym To Say We Are Unwanted?

    My daughter's gym closed as the owner decided to retire. Some of the coaches from the gym decided to open their own facility. We decided to tryout there as she felt like she would be comfortable knowing the coaches and a lot of the kids from the closing gym were going, allowing her to still...

    Opinions On Levels

    My daughter went from half year lvl 1 youth prep as her intro to all star cheer to senior level 3. She was at a small gym. She picked up all the tumbling really easily and was tiny so they had her fly. That season she moved her tumble skills up to level 5 and flying skills to a 4, but the...

    I'm New To Posting But Not New To Reading- Hello :)

    HI. I am new here. I have been reading for a little while but decided to join the fun. I am a mom to 2 girls. One cheers, one plays softball. I hope to make new friends and become a part of the bigger cheer community. SO, hi! How are all of you?
