Wow. Really? Coaches' kids here are free, and can join any class and basically hang out anytime in the gym.....We are debating whether board member's kids should get maybe a 50% discount...
Hi everyone,
For those who are part of a non-profit gymnastics club, run a by a Board of Directors, do you offer any perks to their kids? Free classes? Discount?
Thanks

Thanks so much everyone. I'm starting to think that is what I will do. Floor PLUS 2 events only. Floor each class and then rotate 2 out of the 4 (beam, vault, bars and tramp). They want the tramp every class of course! But it is a folding one which takes 20 minutes alone to set up. Thanks...
I'm with you. I have stuff everywhere but can never find anything...I have not found a way. But I've started putting everything into one box. One day, maybe I'll organize the box :-)
Does anyone here run gymnastics out of a school gym where you have to set up and take down each time?
I'm used to a gym where we warm up for 15 min and then go to each event for 15 min. But at the school, I feel like I should just do 2 (bars and floor, next week vault and beam, etc etc). It...
I've got a 5 year old girl who for the last two classes says all the time "I can't do that". She won't even try or attempt. I've asked just to try and she cries. I made her sit out after 40 minutes and "have a rest" because I just coudn't take it anymore, I have 6 others to coach plus an...
We got an old set of uneven SA bars but the wood is pretty worn down, they are very slippery. Is there anything we can do besides replacing the wooden bars? Can we sand them down?
I would like to purchase these new roll out mats for our small town recreational program (that is set up / take down twice a week), but I don't have any experience with them. From what I see, they come in different thickness 1 3/8" or 2". We only have enough money to buy 2, to make one long...
Ok everyone, THANKS! I'll try the 'grippy' mats for carpets. I didn't think it would work, seemed too easy, but I will go and try now :-). THANKS SO MUCH!
Does anyone know a best way to prevent mats from slipping on a school gymnasium floor? Just your regular basic blue panel mats and some thick landing mats. We started running classes in a school but everything slips...all we can do right now, do everything against the wall. Any ideas how we...
Yes, these look great, you're right. But I was told that they have to weighed down with extra stuff (like sandbags). If that's true, that seems like a lot of work. Does anyone else on here have an experience with these?
Can anyone recommend a portable (no anchors) bar for a recreational gymnastics program out of a rec center, i.e. it's set up / put down. We are just starting to purchase equipment (starting from scratch) and cannot decide on a bar. We'd prefer something up to age 14...THANKS COACHES!
Oh no...it was reupholstered 3 weeks ago. I doubt it we can pull it off. Someone very inexperienced did it (I won't go into details). Any other options?
