    Yes current gym says you have to be perfect to considered for USAG comps. New gym says its up to the parents as it is more $ so she lets the parents choose (this is a novel idea to me that they would allow the parents to have a choice)

    Parents The Dreaded Gym Switch! HELP!!!!

    I didn't like the idea either but they do both AGA and USAG. If there was no USAG then I would be looking somewhere else. I think that being my daughter is 6 the idea of being able to design her own routines right now may just bring the sparkle back. She very fast at learning routines and has...
