I am not 100% sure, but I wouldn't want to take that chance if I were a current parent/cheerleader..That will apply to all levels this season right?

If I were a parent or it were MY cheer career, I WOULD be that crazy. Maybe if people were just as 'crazy', waiver 'issues' wouldn't even occur because they'd be avoided from the get-go.Agreed! We are definitely looking very carefully. We are visiting 3 gyms besides the one we're at before tryouts. I have a list of questions a mile long. People act like I'm crazy, but at least I won't be stuck trying to get a release in a few months!

I'm leaving CEA! Enough is enough! Maddie has been point for way too long, I keep waiting for my "big show" and get shot down everytime. You think being their number one fan, they'd atleast let me run across the mat during a performance, or maybe give me a fist pump while watching in the VIP section.........but NO!!!!!! Thats it. Craptastic Allstars for me!

I think the people who stay and say it's a place where they're 'home' or 'family' would say they DON'T feel obligated to stay due to loyalty. I think once those feelings are around it might be time to reconsider..many of the people in the previous situation have a team they're happy with, feel their growth as a cheerleader is normal, and the gym is a safe, fun environment. Sometimes, of course, growth occurs faster than a gym can hold and if that's the case and they could do better elsewhere, a family should be excited to see one of their own grow and prosper..I've seen pictures of girls from my old gym who appear to have gone elsewhere and the ties are as strong as ever!Gosh there is a ton of things to consider that I haven't thought about until reading the entire thread. Do you all feel obligated to stay I guess a loyalty thing?
My thoughts exactly. When my daughter decided to leave it was one of the worst things she has ever been through. The entire staff turned their back on her and said bad things about her to anyone who would listen. I had seen they way the gym treated kids who had left before so I know what was coming.
Needless to say it only helped solidify her decision.
If you are switching gyms, and you look around at several gyms to find the right fit for your cp and your family: is it appropriate to ask about position on the team? For instance, if you cp has always flown, can you ask if there is a chance they will fly? Not guarantee but give you a chance? Would a gym tell you if they already had established flyers and it was unlikely that your new addition would get time in the air?
