When To Switch Gyms

[SJScheermom]

I would say let your daughter grow her skills and gain some confidence. Once you switch you will see kids the same age that are probably aggressive about the sport. Larger gyms usually have kids who have cheerleading in there blood and eat sleep and breathe being in the gym. Be prepared for that.

I say stick with your current gym... As suggested previously if you want to see if you CP is ready for additional challanges, try taking a tumble class at the "larger" gym or do some privates with a coach at the larger gym. Right now my 12 y/0 CP that has been cheering since she was five is taking tumble classes at 2 different gyms to see which one she is interested in trying out for next season. You CP is only 5 there is not need to rush it now, particularly as USASF is changes its tumble rules and such.
