Coaches and Owners,
I am curious about how you think about gym growth. If things are well in your program, there will be growth. More kids entering at the preteam (and even preschool) level, less attrition from preteam to team, less attrition from compulsory to optionals and more kids wanting to transfer in.
How do you look forward and decide where your growth should come from and/or how do you limit growth if you become limited in space/time/coaches?
Do you have a vision for "how big" your program ideally "should" be?
I imagine there is a worry for growing too big too fast and losing the caliber that was the catalyst for growth in the first place (for example becoming strapped for coaches and having less experienced coaches and potential for more coaching turnover).
I am seeing it is a complex situation, but it is on my mind as we approach states and there are a consistent flow of potential new parents meeting with prospective coaches and the developmental have try outs, etc
Some gyms we see at competitions are seemingly huge with 20-30 kids at each optional level and 60+ kids in the early compulsory levels. Just looking for insight into the "big picture"
