[quote=Anonymous]Unless things have changed, the competitive teams basically pay for themselves.  If there is travel involved, the cost for hotels & transportation of the coaches is paid for my the competitive team, not the county.  The team fees could 100% be higher, especially if you compare them to private facilities around the area.

The comment about gymnasts finding out while they were at VHSL states isn't endearing.  It really has nothing to do with the fight.  Yes, YHS had a good year b/c they have gymnasts who are trained by the Aerials. YHS has a good swim team b/c they have swimmers who are in year round programs.  That's not a compelling reason.

That said, it would be idiotic to close the program.  DPR got into a pickle b/c they spend a ton of money to transport the basketball side of the gym to accommodate the class demand the boys team. Then COVID messed everything up, along with bringing in a director who wanted to promote only Xcel and not DP.  oops. They need to increase staffing and have been having troubles.  How about an on-site training program?  You aren't going to train those coaches needed for higher level competitive athletes, but you could certainly train up to a pre-team level for all the classes.
