Not to fear. This is a discussion about the exception not the rule. Most of the time the gyms are participating in good faith.

That's the assumption I'm making. I've seen petty behavior in every sport in which my daughter has participated, and when my daughter switched from gymnastics to cheer, we were warned by a handful of people that it was aggressively competitive and full of catty people-- mainly parents. However, our experience has been 99% great. I think the worst stuff I ever saw was in 8 year old girl's slow pitch softball. So maybe glitter *is* the answer.

Were the people warning you part of cheer, or were they speaking from an outsiders perspective.

Three cheer parents (two ex) and two gymnastics parents at gyms that had cheer programs. None of the five were from our state (CO). But again, our experience has been really good, so I worried about it for nothing. Our gym had all three of our teams at ABKC this past weekend, and everyone we ran into was polite and respectful, despite it being a very large event.
That said, I hope that this recent roster crackdown makes gyms think twice about cheating, and that gyms who don't cheat knowingly but are careless put a little more effort into ensuring their teams comply with the age grid.

Oh come on. Let us have a little fun. If we can't scare newbie parents, what is the point?

I'm not scared. But maybe I'm just not smart enough to realize I should be scared.

Didn't mean to ruin the fun. If I watched that show maybe I would have caught on. [emoji41]

Like he said, he's new...he really has no clue how horrible we really are ;p However, the Parent's section does offer brownies and wine, so there is that.
