We have a situation occurring in our gym that is causing some problems. I don't really have a strong opinion one way or another but it's causing enough grief that I'd like to hear some outside opinions.
This season we've had a shortage of coaches. That situation will be over once some new hires begin working but for now, there aren't a lot of options as far as substituting. Our optionals have their practices cancelled or shortened quite often....at least three to five times each month. And of course, as team members, the girls don't have other classes they can use to make up the missed practices.
I know there are some parents who feel that at these levels, to appreciate any time off. But some parents feel like it is too much time off and that the coaches should either schedule time to make up missed practices or offer a reduction of tuition.
It has become a big enough deal that it played a part (not the whole reason, but a part) of one of our families leaving our gym.
So please chime in. Share your opinion, experiences, and stories!
