@Kris10boo From what you have said about your cp, she seems pretty advance for her age. She started cheer at 5, with no skills and exactly 1 year later, she is a soild level 2. If she keeps going like that, she has a possibility to have level 5 before she hits double digits. I know on another thread, you said your cp has the skills she has because she pushed herself to get them. I believe she would progress and could be a stand out at any size gym because she works hard, in fact, it might make her push herself harder, because she sees kids her age or kids a little older than her with advance skills. And FYI, I don't think you are one of those crazy moms who pushes her daughter to be in a sport that she hates or doesn't have fun in. ;)
I agree with this.
@Kris10boo My cp was the same....started at 5, had a BHS in two months and had her running tuck at 6. She's 8 and as of last Saturday is working her double. We are at a small gym and she does stand out at times, but that isn't a motivating factor. And if we were at a larger gym where she either did or did not stand out, I wouldn't necessarily want her pushing herself because other people were better. That's just my thing though, I'm really hung up on personal achievements vs comparative ones.
I can understand your concerns, but when it comes down to it, you'll end up visiting all gyms you're considering and finding the best fit. If it turns out after a season, it's not the feel you're looking for ,you can go elsewhere.
