Im curious as to opinions in general. At this point in all star cheer, is there a place for youth level 5? Given that 5 year olds can be on a junior team (not that it's really changed) what would be the incentive to make a youth 5 team?
My daughter was on a youth level 4 team last year and honestly it was frustrating as a parent to pay all this money and go to the majority of comps where they had no competition (we had one comp with competition outside of summit). I imagine it's much the same for the youth level 5 kids. Why not add some junior aged kids and make it a junior restricted team?
I'm not saying it's right or wrong, just looking for perspective from a gym owner or coach -- I'm just a parent.
