Lol my daughter goes to open gym's at one of our rival gyms. We really do love their gym and coaches and their open gym. However, I think our coaches are amazing and we have no desire to cheer elsewhere.
Well on Thursdays my cp goes straight from practice to their open gym. The first few weeks I didn't think about her practice clothes saying her current gym on them. Anyways we were walking out and one of their coaches said jokingly, "next time you come in wearing a Stars shirt I will give you one of our shirts and you will have to wear it"...
I thought to myself oh crap I didn't think much about that. So now she just takes off her shirt and wears a sports bra when we get there. He has a point and that was never my intention!!
Although our rival gym is perfect for tumbling they don't treat my daughter any different. They work with her and push her to get new skills and they hug her and take pics with her like she is one of their own. I can appreciate that because it is obvious they love coaching!!
However, when we go to our gym I feel like a black sheep. The coaches know we go there and even though they don't say nothing I think it makes them mad. I hope they know we are loyal to them and my cp is getting better for her team!!
