gymnastics is too expensive

How can we possibly lower the costs?

… As Patti Kupets said in an interview with IG a couple years ago, by the time they were about 15, both Ashley and Courtney Kupets understood that they couldn’t really quit the sport, Patti told the magazine, because the Kupets’s would not be able to pay their college tuition. The equivalent of their daughters’ college savings had been spent on gymnastics.

Gymblog – Breaking down gymnastics costs

On that same post Blythe links to a rant from a gym parent nwhiker: The nickle and diming of gymnastics.

Too true.

I’m trying to find ways to reduce costs for the parents at my gym.

Gymbrooke linked to that blog post as well, with this commentary:

The Dream: Your child is a potential NCAA-caliber gymnast, the up-front costs could be offset by a college scholarship

The Reality: You will have spent the equivalent of your daughters’ college tuition on gymnastics.

How much do gymnasts pay for one year at your club?
