Those outfits are pre-rhinestone. Come talk to me when they've been rhinestoned.
You dodged a bullet financially. I can't really complain because my daughter loves it and although there aren't any material dance scholarships for college, if the dance team is under the athletic department she will get most of the perks and swag that Div 1 college athletes get.
You got it. Soccer dads are weak. Those dudes no absolutely nothing about being the only dad filling in during a hair, makeup, or fitting session either.
That I did. How do you deal with the insane amount of glitter? I feel like I'm still finding that stuff everywhere and it's been six years!
My dd did the dancing bear and was 100% a no after her one and only dance off.
Funny thing is that soccer team tactics are super easy for my kid because she’s been on a dance team since she was 5. Transference, I guess.
My wife and I loved watching her dance and she look so cute. However, she did not like it at all. It was the moms that got to her Dre.
Not a ton a glitter at my daughter's studio, more about the rhinestone's and those are like having quarter's laying around...they get picked up quickly.
Major respect for you MacDre. Our family is divide an conquer. My wife does dance with my daughter and I do soccer with my son. Regardless, there is no way my wife and daughter would allow me to get anywhere near my daughter's hair and makeup. My only responsibility is getting her Dance Duffel (aka garment rack in bag) down from the attic before competitions.
Spot on.
Discovery was intended for small clubs that aren't able to get into MLS NEXT or ECNL to have a top league for college scouting. Like all intended good things, the big clubs come in with their 3rd and 4th teams to ruin it for the small clubs. Then they are forcing it on younger groups like 6/7/8th graders now too because Big Clubs want to sell it to the parents of the 3rd teams that they have been developing their flight 3 teams and they are no longer JUST flight 1/2/3. 2008 and 2009s playing Discovery is not worth the drive. Discovery should not allow teams in unless they are playing successfully in flight 1 summer tournaments. Hopefully, all this talk of consolidating down to good teams only for next season will happen for the small clubs. If not, the jump back to CSL and other leagues will happen. Centralization was intended to allow college scouts to come and see these smaller clubs with great teams. They also need to rotate locations in order to make the drive easier for teams and local college scouts.
One of the requirements to apply for Discovery SHOULD BE (Edited from my original post) is that your team applies to play in the top flight of any tournaments they enter. You don't necessarily need to win or even do all that well. But if your team is going to sandbag in the 2nd (or lower) tier of a tournament- your team shouldn't be applying for the top division in this league.
It appears the league is not enforcing such rule regarding top flight.
The good life you got bro. My son hated the coaches that yelled and was turned off at early age from soccer and baseball. HS football he loved and was first team all league.
Meant to say that "one of the requirements SHOULD be...."
I blinged dresses for my older daughter for 6 years and coached AYSO for the younger one for 2. Oldest is done with dance but still finding ways to spend my money, while I just film for the younger one now that she has keeper coaches and head coaches.
Sells itself. Fly or drive every weekend to play beach flight ii teams.
