[quote=Anonymous]If the team has committed to Nationals, you should not back out of Nationals. You made a commitment to the team that you would be there and you should honor it. Despite the price tag. If you back out, you are showing your daughter that such commitments mean nothing. The absolutely SHOULD mean something.

Also, you are minimizing the impact your daughter not participating has on the team. The choreography changes are not a big deal, but the team acutely feels your daughter not being there. It affects their morale and they feel like their team mate didn't come through for them. It 100% will have an impact on the performance. (Ask me how I know.)

I get your daughter is more in it for the social aspect. You are right to pull the plug for next year. But don't make the other team members suffer on account of your decision. Teach your daughter the right thing about honoring commitments to a team. The team will remember your daughter for bailing in perpetuity, and you don't want that reputation following her. [/quote]
