After 4 YEARS, I have had enough and let me tell you why.
Many of us parents decided to get our kids off the couch and into something more healthy and fun.
That is how it all started. ASI is an amazing place FOR LITTLE KIDS. My daughter started in bronze and then finally getting a test for the girls' team.
I thought this was strange as I have never seen "professional coaching". I always have felt it was more a fun thing.
My daughter loved parents night out and the other activities and we would at times spend up to $65 in extra activities, bringing my out of pocket expense around $145 (4 hours coaching 16 hours fun), well worth it.
As my daughter did get older she would complain that other kids weren't taking it seriously but was never focused on them.
THEN 1 DAY a "coach" approaches and ask if I would like her to try out for the team and we were like great. My daughter has been talking about it for months now as the "coaches". Well, the day came and when she was tested and they said she was ready, GREAT!
THEN $$$$$ At that point we were paying monthly $80 and now team is $176 + material. OMG how did we go from $80 to $176 and the coaching hours went to 4 to 8?
Now I am asking myself really what is the point of this business. It's not about bettering the kids is a scheme to get the parents to pay more.
After visiting another local GYM and seeing the other kids. OMG, ASI is like Little GYM compared to what is out there.
In conclusion, if your daughter loves gymnastics like my daughter then go somewhere else. It is like night and day and the skill level the kids have.
After YEARS we are done ASI
PS read other reviews like this one:
My daughter has been attending ASI for nearly 2 years.
The location, coaches and facility is great. The price is okay (could be pricey if you have other children in other activities.)
What I dislike about ASI (particularly this location) is the lack of communication. The meets are disorganized and overcrowded.
I wish there were more of a parent involvement from ASI so we could fully understand about the value of our tuition and time. Those whose children whom are seriously taking this sport to the next level need a full understanding on what ASI offers.........
She's spot on!
