I personally won't allow my CP (who is 11 and pretty well developed already) to be in just a sports bra. I prefer the tighter tank and spanx. The tank is preferred so she doesn't have her shirt flying over her head when tumbling. Plus the shorts are like the uni shorts so they have to learn to leave the wedgie alone... It's only 2:30, you won't die if you don't pick it!What are people's opinions on sports bras vs. tank tops? I love the way sports bras look (though I'm not a fan of them on Juniors and Younger), but too many teams order bras that are too small and don't cover enough of the chest. I personally love Smoed's bras for this reason (although Nike is WAY too expensive).
What site do you use?I like the Reebok play dry line for sports bra and compression which I only buy on sale for about $10 (online free shipping). My older Cp is the only one that has the Reebok sport bra (everyone grew and she gets the new stuff ) which she wears under a tank (she said she loves the feel compared to her old cotton ones). The younger 2 wear cotton sports bras (still under tanks) I bought at Khol's - they like them of course they have not tried big sis's Reebok one. I can say both the sports bras from Khol's and the Reebok compression shorts wash and wear GREAT. I have passed down the compression shorts/jog bras from kid to next kid and they still look new and the compression shorts are worn not only for cheer but my girls like to wear them under shorts and dresses and skirts for school. I have been REALLY surprised at how well they have lasted. Given that I use them for each kid I would even pay full price because they get so much wear.
I use richard's Sporting Goods because if I have an issue I can return it and I almost always find it on sale online when it is full price at the store. (Okay it is auto correcting the name of the store and can't figure out how to get around this store name is not Richard's it is D then ick's)What site do you use?
Good point.I believe one can brand their gym without mandatory practice wear. I do think that specific practice wear should be provided and worn at certain times but in general there are quite a few 'big gyms' who branded their gym without having their athletes wear practice wear or their logo.
That's an interesting way to put it, no wonder kids seem to take themselves more seriously in a uniform/matching attire.Our gym only has practice wear for certain teams. My CP's team is not on one of those teams. They did give us the option of buying it if it wasn't mandatory. My CP said she didn't feel like she had "earned" the right to wear it if it wasn't mandatory.
