Yeah, my older DD quit 2 years ago for the same reasons... she couldn't balance all these things.

She does on occasion. Back at the beginning of school, she got the flu and didn't go to school all week. She only attended practice Friday and Saturday. She also has activities she is needs to attend here coming up like band concert and a science fair night. Both are within the 2 weeks of...

How are kids suppose to complete other activities ? Like my daughter plays in the band at school. She has a concert that is worth 500 points and she must attend. Of course this is the week before one of our meets in November. So, her choice is to either lose 500 points in school or she...

Yes, same at our gym.... I was actually looking for a larger one for my DD to compete this season but ughh no one had one. So, she is squeezing in for the next few meets LOL

So, if the child is sick before a meet they aren't allowed to compete ? Do you lose your meet fees and such ? I guess I just don't understand the reasoning for it when the girls spend 20 hours in the gym unless there is a major absentee issue.

No, not a big gym. I would say maybe 10 girls on their optional team, and prob about 20 on compulsory. I'm not sure how many rec kids.. Your thoughts are exactly why I keep ignoring the policy LOL We aren't out much at all but when she is out, she will normally miss a few days in a row...

See this is exactly how I feel. It isn't like they are only practicing a few days a week. They are there almost every day. Sometimes they do on Tuesdays also for extra tumbling practice. The poor kid is doing homework at 10:30 at night and in the morning before school. I, along with some...

I just tried to edit the post with this info... couldn't figure out how. What our gym policy is trying to do is you are not allowed to miss more than 3 practices a month. We practice 5 days a week (Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri 6-9 and Sat 10-1). If they miss more than 3 they have to pay for a private...

OK... I understand. Do they have a policy for the rest of the year or only during meet season? What our gym policy is trying to do is you are not allowed to miss more than 3 practices a month. We practice 5 days a week (Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri 6-9 and Sat 10-1). If they miss more than 3 they...

How do they break down the 90% expectation ?

What kind of attendance policy does your gym have ? And I guess how many hours/days a week do you practice? Our gym has been trying to implement an attendance policy since the beginning of the summer and it is just unfair IMO at this point. Luckily, they haven't been to strict with it. I was...

Wow, that is pretty extreme IMO. That would drive me insane. What happens if girls have short hair or whatever ?

No, we don't. We do have a facebook, which I love... but unfortuntely our website really sucks LOL

Illegal ?? LOL We do LOTS of uptraining at our gym.
