So, as I've posted we are preparing to move mid August. We had to make a trip to our new place for the closing on our house so we decided to pop into DD new gym. We thought since we were there we might as well go in and see if there was any paperwork we could take care of. Much to our surprise, there was a gift basket waiting for her. They planned on giving it to her at first full practice.
Inside this basket was some goodies, a book, a hoodie and the team practice leo! I have never heard of a gym doing such a thing. Mind you we have never been at any other gym but know families who have switched. The basket came from the booster club. My DD was so touched as were we.
Our current gym will have a small going away party at the end of her last practice. And that means a lot to us too!
I have received my fundraising funds and the balance of the tuition for August that she will not be there.
We also checked with the new head coach about all the events planned that I mentioned in a previous post. He suggested which ones would be the most beneficial for us being new and thankfully it's not a ton.
Pretty excited about the move and some of my previous worries have been eased based on the input I've received here on Chalkbucket and the fact that in the big picture...we are moving HOME!! It's been nearly 20 yrs since we have lived in our home state!

With all the intense talk about opinions and thoughts on gym switching lately, this is a very welcome and refreshing story. I know that handling a gym switch because of a family move is an entirely different circumstance than switching gyms because the gym isn't a good fit, but this story still proves that things can go very smoothly. You just have to be lucky with finding the right gym, and meeting the right people associated with it. Good people tend to gather around other good people.
