My children were at Indiana Elite for 7 years, and I was a 4 yr board member up thru late 2011. I paid IE about $60,000 and donated about 4,000 hours of my personal time to help them over those 7 years.... nothing was expected or received in return. In their effort to go hard core in 2011, they treated my older daughter terribly, and when she quit, they kicked out my 10 year fully knowing she would be heartbroken and damaged from the experience. My little one went thru this because I 'knew too much'.... so she became 'expendable'. Bethe & Karlette are too wrapped up in becoming a powerhouse and are not focused on the best interest of your child. They even posted their own positive reviews that trash their competiton (SuzieQ) and posted bad reviews for Speed Athletics to drive their ratings down. They are much too focused on business than they are on children... unless you are deemed a 'favorite'. If you go there, you'll be enticed by the flashy new facility and won over for a little while, but after a while you'll feel different. I do have to say there are some great coaches working there, but my kids have great coaches at their new gym too.
