DEA used to be a strong program with a true family atmosphere. The coaches knew the athletes and…read moretheir families, and there was a sense that the kids genuinely mattered. Unfortunately, that version of DEA no longer exists. Since the sale of Full Out, the program has steadily declined. Routines were criticized as boring, yet nothing was done to improve them, and results reflected that lack of effort and direction. There are also serious concerns about how the gym is being run. Coaches have reportedly gone unpaid for months, and multiple experienced staff members have been let go. Most concerning was the firing of the athletic director just three weeks before Worlds--she was one of the only consistent, reliable coaches who showed up to every practice. Meanwhile, other coaches had outside jobs that prevented them from attending practices regularly. The program itself is shrinking quickly. Last year there were 8 teams (4 prep and 4 elite). This season that number was cut in half, and since the season ended, many athletes have already left. At this rate, it's hard to see how the gym will sustain even one strong elite team moving forward. Athlete management is another issue. There are no real tryouts for positions, and athletes are placed where coaches decide, regardless of readiness or comfort level. On my daughter's team, athletes were made to fly even when they were clearly scared, which raises concerns about both safety and coaching judgment. At this point, DEA feels unstable, disorganized, and in decline. If you're looking for experienced coaching, consistency, and a program focused on athlete development and safety, this is not the place. The only thing it still offers is a sense of familiarity--but even that is fading as more families and staff continue to leave.
