How many practices do they have during the week?

Normal schedule is 1 weekend practice and 1 weeknight practice.

Im not bluecat, but i am a mom whos daughter does 4hrs each way

Lol it takes lots of discipline for the athlete. But i will say it has taught my daughter to learn to manage her time wisely and to be very responsible.


Homework is done in the car on the way up and most of the time sleep the entire car ride home.


This is our 3rd year doing it.
We get home on week night practices about 130am. And school starts at 715am. it takes discipline and the right mind set for sure to make it work.

Practice times vary during the weekend. And usually worlds teams practice 730pm to 930pm during the week. So leaving shortly after school lets out is a must to make it by 730.

I will say its 110% worth it!

Bless your soul & props to your daughter for managing her time so well!

How many people commute a far distance to CA? How far is the farthest away people travel from?

I heard rumors about people that fly back and forth to be on a CA World's team. I don't know if that is true or not.

CA Charlotte had a girl flying in from Savannah GA for almost 6 months.

Plano had athletes commute from the Chicago area for a while. They both live in Texas now.

I know I've said this before (probably in this thread) but I'm stunned gyms like Top Gun and Cheer Athletics don't have a billet program already organized.

TG has families willing to host kids and pretty sure the Jag House is still around.

Four. Hours.

oh my god. I could barely handle a 1.5 hour drive to my old gym. Thats crazy!!! But I see you've made it work!

I am with you on this one. CP had a gym a few years back that was over an hour away in traffic and I wanted to pull my hair out three times a week.

In comparison, I am ready to lose it if my son's tee ball games are 40 minutes away on a weeknight. I bow to you.

Can you purchase the CA 2015-2016 practice wear in the pro shop yet?

I just can't get over how expensive it would be to fly in for practice, or to drive multiple hours to and from the gym. I have no doubt that it's completely worth it for a lot of families, and I'm impressed by the dedication, but the cost would be incredible...
