Looking at the three larger schools we work with (we have about 12 currently), each one has close to 50 percent fulls or more. The one that placed top 10 has several kids with specialty to fulls, double fulls, standing fulls, cartwheel fulls. On that team over 3/4 of them cheered for our gym at least two seasons BEFORE they went to High School. Most still take private lessons with one of our staff members. We are in effect their feeder gym...lol.
If we could retain those athletes just from those three schools - all within 15 minutes of our gym we would very easily have at least a large and a small Worlds division team, and make it to day 2, if not finals. But the way Illinois is set up....
