Gym Recommendations In Connecticut

[Confused Cheer Mom]

After another wonderful practice with my little one once again upset, we are looking for recommendations in Connecticut. Both my girls started with pop warner last august, one a tiny mite, the other a jr pee wee. They loved it so we did all stars with a less than stellar experience, mostly due to stress caused by an overemotional coach. I am looking for somewhere that will encourage them to help them grow and progress and teach them. If you could tell what you like about your program and any drawbacks you might foresee, I would greatly appreciate it. They seemed to have picked up a lot despite the situation. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

USA Wildcats might be a good choice! or ECE CT!

USA Wildcats might be a good choice! or ECE CT!

both are good choices but may not be practical for location. The USASF has a listing of member gyms http://usasf.net/members/findgym/ on their website which can be sorted by name or location. Would recommend looking there for gyms in your area and then checking them out. The Parent Action Committee also publishes Cheer Parents 101 http://usasf.net/programs/parent/ which also has some nice information for with a few tips on gym shopping. Good luck with it.

PS. @Confused Cheer Mom , you might also like the Cheer Parents Online forum http://cheerparentsonline.com which is a newer forum similiar to the fierceboards but aimed more towards the parents.

If it's close, USA Wildcats is an amazing program. Their coaches and athletes are all sweet as pie and very respectful, as I have learned through personal experiences.

USA wildcats are amazing. Iwatched some of their teams at BATC and they were awesome. Their kids were so nice as well as the coaches!!!

Xtreme Cheer CT is also an amazing program out of Norwalk. ignore the cliche(ness) of what I'm about to say but it is soooooo very true: we are really one big family who all supports each other. <3
