A Note From Legacy Cheer and Dance About Bids:

At Legacy Cheer and Dance, we believe that every competition experience should be a positive, personalized experience that adds overall value to the lives of our athletes, coaches, families, and supporters. That’s true for each of our events in the UK, and it also holds true for when we open opportunities for our teams to compete in America.

If attending any event abroad (including bid events that we are sharing here) is a hardship that an athlete, family, or gym is not yet ready to take on, we highly encourage you to PAUSE on travel. This allows you to recover or build financial resources as well as take time to grow your skills whilst competing in the UK.

We feel this is ethically critical for us as the bid provider to note this perspective because there is a great deal of social pressure to travel to events abroad, especially destination events like Florida. However, even with paid bids, there is still a significant financial investment involved in competing abroad.

Our goal in providing bids is to support teams who are truly ready to go in terms of skills and financial preparedness so that we don’t lose families and athletes from our sport when they can’t afford to continue. The bid event trips are truly wonderful, and they certainly have a place in the positive international development of our sport, but it also relies on families, athletes, and gyms to define when they’re ready and when the process will serve them rather than drain them.

Please know that we support ALL of our teams, so let’s work together to celebrate all teams, travel or not.
