I have a serious question for all you fierceboarders out there. Would you rather attend a competition that has a good bit of talented team in all your gyms divisions and it "Might" result in your team not winning ( Or doing well at all for that matter depending on who's in your division) and be challenged as a team...........or go to a rinky dink event that NO ONE goes to and you get the win because there is no one in your division or some team no ones ever heard of?
The reason I ask is there is a trend going on in the cheer world. Several smaller gyms avoid big comps to avoid getting beat by bigger gyms in their area in fear of losing kids.....so they go to smaller events to rack up the "Titles" To me this is very selfish of the smaller gym because you are holding your kids back. I would rather get 3rd place to TOP GUN and CHEER EXTREME than take my kids to do an exhibition for a National Title. Now I do agree---we all need that "Feel Good" event to boost morale but not every event you go to....... Thoughts?????
