My
experience
with
Pride
of
Illinois
when
it
came
to
my
children
I
had
there
is
this.
At
first
we
loved
this
place,
loved
the
coaches
my
children
had,
felt
that
we
mattered.
One
of
my
children
left
the
program
due
to
an
auto
injury
and
was
talked
negatively
about
by
her
"teammates"
who
forgot
to
remove
her
from
their
"group
chat".
This
of
course
did
hurt,
but
wasn't
enough
to
make
a
big
deal
out
of,
or
make
the
other
child
not
be
in
the
program.
Then
as
time
went
on
my
other
child
started
to
not
feel
the
same
about
the
program
and
felt
maybe
it
was
time
to
look
elsewhere
for
a
better
fit.
It
seems
to
be
a
great
place
provided
you
do
not
expect
your
children
to
advance
and
possibly
move
on.
We
felt
we
had
to
hide
certain
things
when
it
came
to
what
my
child
did,
like
visit
another
gym,
or
go
to
an
open
gym
at
another
facility
or
school,
we
also
felt
any
issues
we
had
we
could
not
freely
speak
to
management
or
coaches
regarding
them.
Seems
some
coaching
may
have
been
done
through
fear,
which
was
a
huge
turn
off
for
us.
My
child
felt
as
though
they
could
not
speak
up
about
any
matter
without
being
in
"trouble",
not
sure
of
another
way
to
put
that,
that
is
how
my
child
explained
it
to
me.
The
moment
they
feel
your
child
may
move
on
you
are
treated
in
a
way
different
manner.
Up
to
your
child
no
longer
being
welcomed
there,
when
exact
same
scenario
happens
with
another
child
and
they
are
welcomed
to
the
facility.
I
realize
favorites
will
happen
anywhere,
but
would
prefer
it
not
be
as
obvious.
They
may
want
to
advise
on
advertisements
regarding
open
gyms,
that
children
from
other
gyms,
are
not
welcomed
to
attend
Pride
of
Illinois
and
make
that
consistent
with
all
kids,
not
just
pick
and
chose
which
ones
are
allowed
to
attend
and
which
ones
are
not.
This
spills
onto
the
athletes
and
causes
them
to
also
be
negative
to
other
athletes
that
may
no
longer
be
a
part
of
the
Pride
of
Illinois
program.
I
would
say
this
place
is
good
for
your
younger
kids,
but
once
they
are
a
little
older
and
moving
up
in
skills
this
may
no
longer
be
the
place
for
them.
We
didn't
hate
our
experience
here,
but
at
the
end
we
also
didn't
love
it.
If
we
had
to
do
over
again,
I
would
still
have
sent
my
children
here,
but
would
have
moved
the
one
that
remained
to
another
gym
once
their
skills
advanced
and
basically
outgrew
what
is
offered
at
Pride.
I
feel
bad
and
almost
compare
it
to
if
I
let
my
child
repeat
5th
grade
even
though
they
passed
with
all
A's
just
because
I
liked
the
teacher.
I
wish
I
would
have
read
a
post
similar
to
this
prior,
so
I
hope
being
honest
here
helps
others
to
make
the
right
choices.
