[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$13/class is absolute insanity.  DPR could easily increase that and still meet demand.  Also, I agree about higher fees for out of county residents.[/quote]The same is true of AAC.  If youth sports that don't recover fees were looked at holistically, there's a way to spread this out more fairly.[/quote]

Why should costs for a competitive gymnastics team be spread out more fairly?  What's fair about that?

AAC and competitive gymnastics shouldn't be run out of the County at all.

The role of a parks and rec department is in the title.  Rec.[/quote]

This. Why can't the county JUST run a rec gymnastics program. If there is a coaching shortage, why not have all the coaches teach rec. If there is interest in competitive gymnastics in the county,[b] then people can start a private gym.[/b] It's never been explained why, if there's so much interest in competitive gymnastics, that's not an option.

Note to readers, when you see this comment know that the writer doesn't really have a suggestion b/c it's not the same as you can just start create a new soccer league.  Read the letter from another local gym owner about what goes into starting a new gym.  The facility alone makes the bar very high and means a long lead time.  There is no need to start a new gym when a perfectly good faclity exists.  While I will concede that turning the left gym back into basketball is apotible path forward, leaving it empty for a year is beyond idiotic and makes me wonder why anyone would think that's a good idea.
