Today DD's gym sent out an email saying that USAG has a rule forbidding individual gymnasts from giving coaches gifts. I have searched for a while for this rule but all I can find is a Safe Sport policy saying coaches shouldn't give gifts to gymnasts.
I'm just wondering if anyone has actually heard of this rule or if it's really an internal gym policy that they don't want to take responsibility for. It's a little irritating because we've always done a gift for my daughter's coaches and teachers, and my daughter has already made her card for her coach, something she put a lot of thought and time into. We'll obviously respect the gym's policies but I was just curious if USAG really has some kind of regulation about this.
