I messaged you. :)

I totally agree with LemonLime and it will depend what practice group your daughter is placed into. My daughter trains at TD but is not on the "Dream Team". She still has great coaches and while they can be tough (like any coach training high level athletes), she has never experienced anything...

Just so you know, I've been a gym parent for 6 years and half the time, I still don't know what's going on! I've only joined Chalkbucket recently but have "lurked" for years and it's definitely helpful. If your gym is anything like ours (and many other people I know), they are generally not a...

This is so helpful - thank you! I agree about the renting and am trying to convince my husband that this is the way to go. Glad to know you love Texas Dreams! It's certainly one of the names we've known forever but I wasn't sure if it would be too hard to get a spot on one of their teams...

Oh wow - good to know though I'm cringing. I think I probably just need to resign myself to spending A LOT more time on the road. Maybe we should just get a less expensive house and a much better car. =) In my current town, there is really only one gym to choose from if you're very...

I'm not sure where I'll be working or living yet but kids and husband will be at Greenhill School so I hope that we'll be living within 15-20 minutes from there and would love to have a gym that's not too far as well. (Homeschooling is not an option for us.) So many gyms! I'm on overload. =)...

I've heard great things about Metroplex and saw them compete at Chow's Challenge last year. Thank you!

Dallas Folks! We're re-locating to north Dallas from NC next summer and I'm researching new gyms for DD. She's in 5th grade and will be competing level 8 this coming season. She does a modified school schedule right now so she can practice 12:30-4:30pm but I'm undecided if we'll want to...
