[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, and OP -competitive gymnastics is an expensive and elite sport, and there is zero reason for the county taxpayers to be subsidizing this at the level it has been.

Either pay the cost, or go for one of these allegedly cheaper private options that didn’t exist last week when your boosters were fighting to save the program,  but apparently do exist now that you don’t want to pay something closer to the true costs of staffing it. [/quote]

I didnt mean to start and argument. I also never said i wasn't going to pay or was not able to pay.  Just curious what folks pay for sports and look at what a participation landscape would be with higher fees.

The argument was never that private gyms dont exist, it was that they dont have spots available. That is still true. Especially for boys gymnastics. Where there is only one gym within the beltway that can take a handful of kids at higher levels. The next closet gym only takes top level atheletes and requires homeschool (or at the very last only going to school a half day)

But anyway, that was never the intention of this post.
