I really don't understand what defines "rec" and I wish there was more clarification.
Locally, there is a team that started out as pop warner. They cheered pop warner football games and competed at their respective state, regional, and national championships. When their true rec season ended, the entire team went to a local all star gym and continued practicing. They gave themselves a new name, added/got rid of some team members and began competing under the all star gym's name in the rec division. Now, are they still a rec team? What constitutes them being a recreational sport? Some of them cheered for football, but not all. They started out as a true rec. team, but then they became more of a half year all star team.. except they kept the same routine so wouldn't that just make them a true, year round team? I just don't get it.
