    Parents private coach for gymnastics- is there such a thing?

    Hi all, I was wondering if there is such a thing as a private coach for gymnasts similar to Coach Up for other sports. I understand it may be more taboo in gymnastics than in other sports to get private lessons outside the gym. I recall reading a post at least a year ago on this forum about a...

    DD has such a wonderful coach and I wanted to get her a gift to say “thank you” for all the positive ways she encouraged and invested in DD. Looking for recommendations from other parents or even coaches on some of their favorite gifts they have received!

    WAG Coach leaving and taking gymnasts with him

    What are the ethics, non- compete clauses, etc. associated with a coach leaving one gym and going to another. Is it just poor form or actually way worse to recruit gymnasts from the gym to take with him. We had already left gym A for gym B, and the coach is leaving gym A for coach C. He...

    WAG Best time of the year to coach: right after season ends

    I feel like I make this thread every year but... man, I LOVE coaching right after season ends. The girls have spent the last few months cleaning up technique, and there are so many skills that they're ready to learn, but haven't because we've been focusing on routines. And then season ends, and...

    WAG 3rd Canadian Coach suspended after sexual assault allegations

    http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/toronto/mississsauga-gymnastics-coach-sexual-assault-charges-1.4510152 While I’m SO glad that victims are feeling brave enough to start speaking out, the fact that this is the third in less than three months leaves me feeling uneasy. How many more do we not...

    WAG What if your gym hired an abusive coach?

    What would you do if your gym hired coaches with a known history of abuse? This happened at our gym. By known history, I mean you can google the coaches’ names and read multiple legitimate news articles. They are Geddert-type abusers. Without googling the coaches’ names or really listening to...

    Parents Deduction for a coach assist?

    Hi all. I have a question I hope some of you could help me out with. Dd has her first level 3 meet coming up. I was wondering about the deduction for a coach assist. Is it the value of the element PLUS 0.50? Is this standard for all assists whether it be for the back handspring or mill...

    WAG An Open Letter to My Daughter's Coach . . .

    So, this is a weird sport. We've been around it for a while and I tend to be a sponge and soak everything up without saying much. When I have concerns, I address them with the coach; otherwise, I just sit back and watch. I frequent CB, though mostly as a troll reading through other people's...

    Hey everyone! I have a question(s) that I'm hoping you all will have some advice for... I should give you a little history I suppose. My DD has been absolutely obsessed with gymnastics since she was 2. We found a tumbling acrobat kind of gym in our neighborhood that would start kids at 2.5...

    Parents How do I deal with a difficult coach?

    This is our 11th year with the gym and have never had issues with a coach until now. In August, my daughter’s coach told her to “Leave!” practice 20 minutes early. She was unhappy that my daughter wasn’t pushing herself enough to try new skills. In September, she told my daughter that she was...

    Big Girl vs Ankle Injury vs Head Coach

    There’s this one older girl on my team who has had a reoccurring ankle injury ever since she pulled 3 tendons in her ankle a couple months ago. She’s 16 and a sophomore in high school. She typically does fine at practices with minimal pain. She wears an ankle brace at each practice and makes it...

    WAG Coach "Shunning" Xcel Girls

    My niece is an Xcel Platinum. Her coach limits their floor routines to 50 seconds, won't let them take their "touch" warmup before events, and only lets them take one vault, even if the first one is bad. The coach seems to have this attitude that the Xcel girls are a waste of time and barely...
