What about at gyms that have a more defined "premier/flagship" level 5 team (WC [Stars], Twisters [F5], Rays [Orange], etc.)? Do athletes often get moved from these teams to others within the program?
That's exactly what I was thinking. As a boy, my team would be set--> but as a girl, I feel like it's a pretty big deal. Esp at these three gyms specifically. Stars have a separate tryout, special ceremonies, and a dedication wall for its alum; Orange has a lot more gear (hoodies/shirts/shorts) it seems like (speculation from seeing Rays at Cheersport); and I'm assuming has a number of similar perks (2/3 unis per season). I think Smoke, Ody, and Reign are all very solid teams, but I'd imagine *most* athletes would still want to be on the team that gives them the best shot at winning NCA and/or Worlds. In this case, that's F5, Orange, and Stars.
