We live in a small city about 2.5 hours away from a very large, well known, successful gym. My daughter has been cheering (all star cheer) at her current gym for four years now. She has outgrown the gym and is looking for a more competitive team that she can continue to grow in. She is on a level 3 team (which is great but the highest level they offer) and has level 5 tumbling skills. I knew at some point she would want to go to the bigger gym 2.5 hours away because they have worlds teams and that is her ultimate goal...so how far is too far to drive? She is only 9 and in 4th grade, so if we start driving next season I'll be driving for years until she could drive herself. She is at the gym 5 days a week and totally dedicated to this sport. I want what is best for her to reach her highest potential. However, driving 2.5 hours one way a couple of days a week at minimum is a huge commitment for me. Is 2.5 hours away at 10 years old too much??
