The top 3 large gyms in the area that you will see at most competitions will be CA, SOT, and Champion (in no particular order), so you have some great options as a level 2-3 athlete.
A big factor to remember is traffic! Mapquest may say they are the same distance miles wise, but be sure to visit the gyms during the afternoon hours when you hypothetically may have practice to see how feasible it truly is to get there during that time.It may take 30 min to get to CA from across the metroplex at 11pm, but during rush hour it can be 2 hours.......
Additionally, remember that SOT has 2 gym locations in the metroplex. You may be commuting to one vs. the other because they only offer certain teams at the lower levels typically, so factor that in. Be sure you can make the commitment to travel to both Coppell & Arlington if needed.
