We always have new kids joining the team, and we give odur flying spots to the best flyers, new or not. This has been a problem with some of the parents who do not feel that a 'new' girl should get to fly when her daughter is a retiring team member, but when all is said and done, a good coach will do what is best for the team, notout someone in the air for being a veteran team member. Hopefully you will have the same findings at your new gym. Good luck!
My brother (who plays HS volleyball) has switched gyms all the time, especially since some change year to year whether or not they'll have an allstar boys team (Depending on signups/interest). He's played for several different clubs and he's never had a problem from ANY of his coaches after switching. Granted, they know he switches to wherever his HS coach wants him to be, so maybe they just get mad at coach. :p Maybe with other sports since there's such a turnover year to year, you don't really notice it?i always have found it odd that leaving a gym for another one is such a BIG deal in the all star world. in other sports its perfectly ok to try out for another team esp. if that team is just plain better.
I remember dancing and being thankful a girl didn't come back to competition..granted she was I think 12 at the time, had little parental involvement, and she swore like a sailor with a rotten attitude to boot. I remember one of the things she said about our dance instructor (the woman who would pick her up for competitions/practices/etc)..wouldn't say it about someone I hated!@Trilogy obsessed - gotta disagree with you on this. My son plays travel baseball - it is a big deal when players leave one team for another team. You can have all the same drama that plays out in cheer gyms -"oh, how could they", "they're not a team player, only looking out for themselves", etc. etc. Then you'll have the parents who will no longer speak to other parents.
(of course, I also have to admit there have been instances at both my daughter's gym and on my son's teams that you are GRATEFUL to see a kid and their parents leave - "yah, the diva and her mom are somebody else's problem" or "god's gift to baseball and his dad are gone". -----Gee, that was harsh.:oops:
I'm not exactly sure if I'm staying or leaving. I have made a list of reasons to stay and reasons to go, but I just can't decide. I've been going to open gyms at some different gyms and I think I've found a new one, but it's pretty expensive, and my mom doesn't know if she can afford it. I would miss all the friends I've made at my gym now, but things have just gone down hill this year. I don't think it would be a happy season next year if I stayed. And I went to open gym at this one gym where they had me throwing fulls the first day he saw my layout, so then I asked my self "why have I been doing privates where I cheer now for almost a year and still not doing fulls?!"
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!
