My daughter is almost seven and we just found out her coach is going into the navy in August. My daughter is just starting the team in a few weeks. I am concerned with how she will take it. She does not do well with other coaches. I have told her that she needs to try with other coaches. This coach has been her biggest supporter in 4 years. I am not going to tell her until a few weeks before. Is that a good idea?
Medic---I would start introducing the idea of her coach leaving sooner than later. One thing about gyms is that nothing remains a secret or quiet all that long. I think it would be better coming from you than something she is told by another child at practice. You can certainly tell her you will also miss her coach and plan on how to keep in touch----email/letters/pics etc. Maybe she could be the one to plan a going away party at the gym? Also it will give her some time to talk with her coach and get some "pep talks" before there is the last minute crunch.
The kids get very attached to many of their coaches and the seperation is so hard. Hopefully you and the coach can work together to make it a little easier for her.
Gym law-
I actually threw the idea out today and asked her if she would still love gymnastics without her coach and she said that she loves gymnastics no matter who she is wth..but still loves her coach also. Its hard because she was hand picked by this coach to move up. This coach has always advocated for her. I hope they transition the kids. I am going to insist upon it. I think the going away party is a great idea.Thanks
I just had a going away party at my gym and everyone had a great time. we caught up with people that we hadn't seen for a while that we really like. here is what we did:
we had the coaches that are moving make the guest list and we called everyone on it and got all the food, etc.
we also brought sand toys and footballs, soccer balls, basketball, etc. we had a great time and the coaches and everyone else really appreciated it. i am not looking forward to the goodbye, it is going to be a very hard thing to do. i do not know how well their daughter (2) is going to take it when she realizes Rae Rae isnt going to be at gymnastics and she cant go over to Rae Rae's house to play very often. She is such a sweetheart and I love her so much. She is pretty much my sister. I wish they didn't have to leave.
My coaches left and it sucks so much. I love them so much and they are gone. I miss them so much and I am missing the girls grow up and that makes me so sad. I miss them so much and it sucks because there is nothing I can do about it. I know they didn't want to make me hurt so much when they left but I just wish there was another way. Another way that would allow them to stay. I miss them so much. that one is what my days are like a lot
