it is a difficult decision to make ... especially with the new age grid ...she's nine with a ro bhs tuck and can fly or base so a youth or junior team is fine with us ... it might be the schedule that weighs in most[/quote
Make your decision also by the gym and how comfortable you feel. Just because a gym is talented doesnt mean that you will feel comfortable and that it is a good home for your child. Also, the drive consider when there are extra practices added and other activities that happen throughout the year. Here is my personal input..... Cheerforce is great I love Casey and Jen and they have been in the business for a long time. Cheerforce SD is always clean and sharp. I know that they treat their athletes like family. CA San Diego is limited on teams, but maybe they will have more this year? CA San Marcos is very talented and their best location, but if you personally want your child to grow level wise, I dont think this would be the right fit. It is also a large gym and it can be overwhealming sometimes. PCM is probably to far for you (someone metioned it so Im giving my input), but we have tons (I coach two teams of them) of kids ages 7-10 who are level 3 -4. We are also a very close family. I would suggest you try them all out and what ever vibe you fell is right for your child then that is the correct decision.
