[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Should the county have a competitive gymnastics team - NO. This program has a million things wrong with it and mostly Carly. For a county sport they stack the teams with older kids just to look like a winning team and play favorites, the favorites being whoever would suck up to carly the most as well as go on her little fun trips where she posted pictures of teen girls in bikinis. They take the winning side too serious its a county gym and the county resides should be allowed to be on the lower levels of the team. Whe my daughter went there we had to try out three years in a row when other commercial gyms would take our kid. We also had to pay for lessons at other gyms. There are plenty in the area. The parents on the board are the worst a lot of elite rich women who think money is no issue just because it is not an issue for them.  I hope they just kill the program all together and build a community center. [/quote]Your issue with the program is a single person?  That's just a grudge.   :roll:

Arlington already hosts competitive swim (including spending on the ridiculous facility that is Long Bridge) and host fields space for a million other competitive sports.  [/quote]

The swim team, AAC, is also ridiculous.  The County should not be employing coaches and paying for competitive teams.  They run rec leauges that are first-come, first-serve and that should be it.  [/quote]

AAC is half to one third of the price of comparable club swim programs. I realize the privately owned clubs need to make a profit, but it isn’t 50%! As a taxpayer I’m paying twice for lane space simply because I couldn’t sign up fast enough for AAC.

In an effort to be all things to all people, APS Parks and Rec ends up serving very few people. If they can’t get these programs to self fund, it’s time to shut them down. There is literally no limit to demand when you are charging next to nothing. [/quote]
