I just want to share my experience with the Dynamic Silver Bullets. My daughter was part of one of their All-Star squads in 2008. She was there for about 6 months. She loved cheerleading and loved being part of the squad. The week of November 3rd she had the opportunity to try out for the JV squad at her school. She was not sure what to do because she wanted to do both, but the Silver Bullets did not permit the members to do school cheerleading and the All-Star squad. I told her to try out for the school team and what ever decision she made I would support her. To her surprise she tried out and was asked to be on the Varsity team at school. She was in 8th grade and was delighted and honored for this opportunity. She was so disappointed because she really wanted to do both but had to make the hard decision. She thought long and hard and made a Pros and Cons list and made the choice to join the Varsity squad at school.
On November 8th she was competing with the Silver Bullets in Buffalo. She went to the competition and her team took 1st Place and Grand Champions. On November 10th I called the coach and told her my daughter's decision. The coach was very short and rude with me. At that time, I felt bad so I wrote her an email to finish up my thoughts and to figure out the money part of it. I offered to pay for the 2 days she was there in November, asked for the fundraising money by daughter made to be transferred to another family at the Bullets. I also explained that provided I receive the lollies I paid for I would return the uniform. Two weeks later, I received a letter back from the Bullets in response to my letter. They stated that they would give me the lollies I paid for as soon as they came in. He also responded by saying No to my request to transfer my daughter's fundraising money to another family who had a few children at the gym. Next in this letter, he stated that because my daughter participated in the November competition I owed $75.00 for gym rent. Lastly, he asked for the uniform back or he was going to charge me $278.00. I spoke with him a few times on the phone and he stated that his daughter was upset because she felt used. I explained that they are a business and provide a service that I paid for and they can not take things so personally. He said he would give me the lollies and to call it even on the gym rent. I tried to make several attempts to me with him to trade the uniform for the lollies and 2 of the 3 times he told me to meet him and he never showed up. Finally the day of December 14th I called to see if they were at the gym so we could exchange items. They said they were at gym and they had the lollies and my fundraising candles. I show up 20 minutes later and hand him the uniform and a Thank you card for everything they did with my daughter.in front of a room full of other parents, he says with a smile he decided not to give me the lollies. I became a bit upset and left the gym. I called him back and asked for the contract that I signed and he told be I would have to pay 25.00 to obtain it. I at that time told him he would be hearing from my lawyer. I contacted small claims court and went to court on March 5th and won the case in the amount of $45.00.
He at this point has still not made payment to me for the money that is due.
I never intended to leave this way and tried handling this in an adult matter but it did not work out that way. Please read at your will and conclude from there.
