    Parents Does this seem accurate?

    Thanks for the info. I do t even know if we have a booster club 🤔. I just did the math and yep, the yearly breakdown for our 8 yr old on bronze xcel is: $7,240 a year (tuition, meet & coaches fees) $850 (team Leo, warmup, registration, USAG, & team bag) $8,090 YEAR ESTIMATED TOTAL Not...

    Thank you for your breakdown, I appreciate it :) Just wanted to compare a bit to other gyms to put our minds at ease and know that it these prices are similar to others. Gymnastics is an expensive sport for sure. I feel bad now knowing that my parents were struggling financially because of my...

    I can definitely see this happening unfortunately as it’s rare for an entire group to agree. I’m actually on this forum for about 6 other parents from our team as well as myself. We would just appreciate more transparency for where exactly our money goes as it is a big amount. The gym be a...

    True, maybe the cycle coach and the owner will both attend the meets. I still think $2,062 average per meet coaches fee seems crazy not to mention the $13.90 an hour for practices That’s what I’m afraid of. I feel if the entire team approached about the fees together, asking if instead paying...

    Thank you so much for this info. It truly helps. When there are 11 new gymnastic team parents and there isn’t transparency of what this huge amount of money is really going towards, questions will arise. I will reach out to the gym and let them know we are happy to pay what we need to, but it...

    Understandable about the hotel stay. The breakdown was my breakdown. They only send a list of what the fees are for entry and coaches fee per meet. I just felt I needed to do the breakdown math of what it came out to as the rate seems pretty insane. I was a competitive gymnast from 5-12 years...

    Thank you so much for ra Thank you so much for responding. What you said was exactly what I was thinking. I’m blown away! The team moms and I are going to request a meeting to to ask for more transparency into the extremely high coach fee & Leo, tuition, etc. Instead of overcharging for these...

    Parents Coach fees 1400 for 6 meets?

    Thank you so much for responding. I was thinking the tuition was higher than most gyms. Then to receive the coaches fee kind of blew me away. The one coach will be averaging $2,062 a meet. What is your average pay per meet if it’s okay for me to ask. I want the coach to make a good amount for...

    That totally makes sense. You are working extremely hard with no time off. I was a competitive gymnast from 5-12 and quit at level 9 because I had to move states & my back and knees were killing me. I still miss it to this day and appreciate my amazing coaches I had. I was wondering if you can...
