I truly think CEA is a great program and if CP was given the opportunity to practice once a week and be on more than one team, I am sure I would be all in and CP would, too, but CP's team just won Summit Y3 this past season. CEA's Y5 won Summit, too. I know worlds athletes can only compete five to a Summit team but can GP be completely made up of YE and the kids basically get two rings? (Which they have to earn, not a given.) Just curious. Mine ages out of youth for this season and not every gym has the opportunity to offer more than one strong competitive youth team, so a little unique to a gym that is able to field so many youth teams, too. I think as has been pointed out, you just need to be on a team that is that good anyway and don't worry about what everyone else is doing, but. . . And, also, I saw on IG not too long ago where a few teams from some of the CEA locations were being geared more towards Summit teams. Maybe YE is not one of them. I don't remember. I do remember a Y3 was because my CP was currently on a Y3. If this was next year and my CP was still on Y3 and she was going against a bunch of level 5 youth, I might feel a tad salty for her true Y3 team. Not against the rules, and, again, I am positive we would jump at the chance if CP had same opportunities. Maybe I'm just jealous!! :D
