This is exactly what I am talking about. We are in the "just wait and see" mode right now. My daughter is Sr level 5 at a growing gym, but I am afraid that it is not growing quickly enough for her. It's certainly not the case about not getting on the team she wants. There are so many gyms in our area of NC that we do have options. However, we started at this gym many years ago and we don't want hurt feelings. Our concern is that girls or boys will be placed on the team to fill out the stunt groups, not because they possess the necessary skills for level 5.IMO a big red flag re: outgrowing a gym is when you are worried that there won't be a team where your CP can use their highest skills - and not because your CP doesn't MAKE that team, but because there aren't enough other kids in the entire gym w/ that level of skill to make a competitive team.
And when you got to wait to see who shows up or not at tryouts to know if this will be the case or not, that's kind of a bad sign too even if it works out one year, cause that's a sign that every year this may be a concern.
Do what is best for your cp. Your loyalty should always be to her first over the gym. How does she feel? Does she want to explore other options or is it all you at this point?This is exactly what I am talking about. We are in the "just wait and see" mode right now.

So when is it time to look for a job? Just kidding... Well kind of...should I get a new job?!?Probably very similar to when an adult is deciding it's time to look for a new job.
I feel like good coaches will want to see their athletes move on if their gym isn't ready to move up with them. And also, be wary of a gym that might push to a higher level just to keep up with some of their athletes. My experience has been that it is rarely successful, and often seems unsafe.This is exactly what I am talking about. We are in the "just wait and see" mode right now.

They will find out who their real family is if they leave.YES. I know that you might feel like a gym is your family but the last thing you want is for your gym to TRY and field a Level 5 just to satisfy you.
That's how you get a Level 5 team that is really Level 3 + a full and some layouts.
Preach.They will find out who their real family is if they leave.
