I'm not thinking of those who moved here. I don't know of any at our gym who moved to be here. I'm thinking of those who tryout, get placed on a wonderful team, and agree to fulfill the rules and obligations. Then 3 months down the road realize traveling 2, 3, 4 hours one way is expensive and time consuming and then tell me they will only be at half the practices. I start day 1 telling parents to think about the year as a whole. It sounds sexy now, but how will you feel that second month of school when kids are tired, bogged down with hw and the gas bills are rolling in. Plus you haven't competed yet so the hard work from summer hasn't been really seen yet.
We are not lacking for athletes so I doubt our owner would agree to that. But now that our alternates have moved to other teams or programs and choreography is done its trickier. I really don't think most parents who leave work early or miss another childs activity to get one to practice would be okay with someone missing half the practices because they just realized how time consuming it is to be in all star.
I didn't mean to come across as ugly I just wish some people would look at the big picture when they commit. I certainly don't think every commuter behaves this way.
