Do you like your current uniform or do you hope for new ones next season and don't mind the expense? Love our current uniform, heard the tops are changing and don't mind the expense.
Should they add more practice time or offer less? The schedule this year is perfect. 3 nights a week @ hrs a night.
Does your gym offer tumbling classes? Do you get a class included with the price you pay or do you have to pay for tumbling classes? Included with contract, this is smarter than making you pay for tumbling with the economy the way it is, times are tight. If we had to pay for extra tumbling, we would not be able to afford it. If team does tumbling together better team performance overall.
Do you get the option to offer suggestions about the team music? No
Do you like the make-up or have a suggestion? Love the make up this year, simple yet eligant, love the red lips
Do you like the competitions you go to? Or would you like to go to a competition that isn't on your schedule? Yes, but perfer the LA, Anaheim one so we can also plan a DisneyLand Trip. LOL!
Planned activities with the team/entire gym? Yes, these offer entire gym unity!!
Privates offered? Yes...
More Competitions or Less? Happy with this years schedule! We are doing 9
Out of town Nationals? Where would you like go? Out of town, we really enjoy LA or Vegas!

Do you like your current uniform or do you hope for new ones next season and don't mind the expense? Not crazy about crop tops, but I like the new looks this year
Should they add more practice time or offer less? I wouldn't mind more time as long as it didn't mean more days...
Does your gym offer tumbling classes? Do you get a class included with the price you pay or do you have to pay for tumbling classes? Tumbling class is included in tuition.
Do you get the option to offer suggestions about the team music? Sometimes asked for suggestions or opinions. They are always open to suggestions.
Do you like the make-up or have a suggestion? Like the make-up
Do you like the competitions you go to? Or would you like to go to a competition that isn't on your schedule? Appreciate the thought that goes into the comp schedule. It seems that there is concern for expenses when considering a comp. I would like to see a comp added that is closer to home though. (Only 1 scheduled in the home town of our gym, more to choose from...)
Planned activities with the team/entire gym? Yes
Privates offered? Yes. The scheduling is inconvenient, but there is little that can be done about that. My daughter rarely books a private because of the inconvenience. (It really doesn't help that we live 45 miles from the gym.)
More Competitions or Less? I'm open...
Out of town Nationals? Where would you like go? Vegas or Anaheim

Do you feel they should allow us to take our own video's and pic's??

I didn't know there are gyms that wouldn't allow that! hee hee Yes, I think the comp companies should allow videos and photos. :) The majority of the comps that we go to aloow it, and I appreciate that.
Do you like your current uniform or do you hope for new ones next season and don't mind the expense? I like ours but I wouldn't mind getting new ones every year. I think it's hilarious how other parent complain about the expense of a uniform in the whole scheme of things.
Should they add more practice time or offer less? whatever just don't spring extra practices and then complain when people are missing.
Does your gym offer tumbling classes? Do you get a class included with the price you pay or do you have to pay for tumbling classes? Yes and yes.
Do you get the option to offer suggestions about the team music? Oh sure....and then after I call Mike Martz and tell him to give Frank Gore more carries.
Do you like the make-up or have a suggestion? sure its fine. No opinion. Never really noticed the difference once they're out on the floor.
Do you like the competitions you go to? Or would you like to go to a competition that isn't on your schedule? Closer to home the better. Minimal Jamz please. My favorites are the ones where my daughters division has at least 5 teams in it but the comp over all has less than 30 teams total. :P
Planned activities with the team/entire gym? ok
Privates offered? I would hope so.
More Competitions or Less? our schedule is cool.
Out of town Nationals? Where would you like go? One total is best. I'd like to do something in NY.
Do you like your current uniform or do you hope for new ones next season and don't mind the expense?I love our uniforms very flattering on all the girls and I love our colors:)
Should they add more practice time or offer less?More practices would be great
Does your gym offer tumbling classes? Do you get a class included with the price you pay or do you have to pay for tumbling classes?Yes we have a seperate tumbling class that is included and they also offer extra classes at an affordable price
Do you get the option to offer suggestions about the team music?Not really, but our coach does at least pick one song that the team loves
Do you like the make-up or have a suggestion? I could care less if we wear make up or not. I think it looks good on stage. I hate the red lipstick, it really stains the uniorm(glad we dont have to wear it this season). We wear a nice lipgloss
Do you like the competitions you go to? Or would you like to go to a competition that isn't on your schedule? I love our schedule. It is not tooo full where it gets expensive and your gone 2 - 4 times out of the month. We have 6 competitions and a Nationals. We also go to different orginizations, not the same ones. Which is nice
Planned activities with the team/entire gym?Yes we have really cool and fun team building activities.
Privates offered?I dont know
More Competitions or Less?Perfect number
Out of town Nationals? Where would you like go?We go out of town every season for one nationals. So it is fun. Each season they choose the place and we know at the beginning of the season. It is fun to get to go to a lot of different places. We have been from the west coast to the east coast. Great experience for the families

I agree about taking pic's and video's, at America's Masterpiece they had a company that you could "only view while you were there"...nothing to view online :(
Do anyone know why they would get a company like that or feel the way I do?
Do you like your current uniform or do you hope for new ones next season and don't mind the expense?
**We change uniforms every two years so we will be changing next year. Ours are custom made and fitted so we are becoming accustomed to the pricing.
Should they add more practice time or offer less?
**Would like to see more practice time for the more advanced teams, but it is hard because the kids and parents want less time committment.A Level 5 should not practice less than a Level 1or 2.
Does your gym offer tumbling classes? Do you get a class included with the price you pay or do you have to pay for tumbling classes?
**Yes. Yes. We also have additional tumbling classes they make take, private lessons, structured open gyms and free tumbling clinics.
Do you get the option to offer suggestions about the team music?
**No, but the kids do get to make suggestions.
Do you like the make-up or have a suggestion?
**I know nothing about makeup. Therefore no suggestions.
Do you like the competitions you go to? Or would you like to go to a competition that isn't on your schedule?
**Yes I do. There are always short and long range goals so every competition means something significant to the gym. The only change I would like is to go to Indy, but since we generaaly take all of our teams everywhere, it would be hard to take all of our teams there without a good years advance planning.
Planned activities with the team/entire gym?
**We do this.
Privates offered?
**Yes, although becuase we have so many free tumble times not as many people take us up on this as they have in the past.
More Competitions or Less?
**Ideal is 5-6 comps plus Worlds seems reasonable.

I AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT PRACTICE TIMES..THE MORE SKILLED THE MORE TIME YOU NEED, BUT IT TAKES A TRUE COMMITMENT FROM THE PARENTS AND CHEERLEADER...I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY A PARENT WOULD COMMIT TO THIS AND THEN COMPLAIN AS THEIR CHEERLEADER IS OBTAINING SKILLS IF IT REQUIRES MORE TIME? I DUNNO?
