    Off Topic OT for parents:Cell phone monitoring

    Your entitled to your own methods of living life, but I feel like giving your children "no privacy" is a bit of an extreme approach. Have an open conversation with your children - let them know the expectations and the consequences of not adhering to those expectations because instead of...

    how do you get them to drink?

    I second adding some lemon or mint leaves so it seems like less of a boring chore. There's also water bottles that can clip onto the outside of the bag so it doesn't spill on the contents inside the bag.

    Parents Crystals/bling falling off?

    take it back to the gym, the bling should not fall off just by wearing it (or even by washing it).

    WAG Chalk

    As long and you're using chalk for the right reason aka for grip when you need it. You shouldn't be over using it. All kids have their own comfort levels when using chalk, some like to use a lot, some barely any at all. Make sure it stays in the chalk bowl and isn't places anywhere else to get...

    Coaches Leotard Production Time

    Wow! That's really bad! I would have thought they'd make up some plain coloured tank leos to kit everyone out. I guess the thing with leotard companies is that they don't have very much competition, they don't really have to keep people happy to keep coming back, because there's not a whole lot...

    WAG Urgent: Unsafe Coaching

    After observing the first session when I met them for the first time I asked the coach what their qualifications were/what education they had on the sport and 'gymnastics coaching certificate' was not one of them. On my first session with them I said they should start training roundoffs with...

    WAG Urgent: Unsafe Coaching

    Thanks for the help, everybody. I'm not sure how this person was hired, maybe they mislead the owners in some way? Thanks for clarifying, I thought this was the case. I'll speak to one of the other coaches about this when I'm in tomorrow and if that doesn't help then I guess I'll have to tip...

    WAG Urgent: Unsafe Coaching

    I was going to put this in the coaches forum, but I thought I would get more input here for all different points of views. What does one do about unsafe and under-qualified coaches? Some how I'm working with a very under qualified gymnastics coach, i.e does not have a certificate in gymnastics...

    Parents Vegetarian gymnasts

    Vegetarian doesn't equal healthy or unhealthy. You can be a vegetarian and eat nothing but potato chips and fizzy drinks. Or spend your life eating fruits and vegetables. I don't think being a vegetarian makes any difference to how you perform. You just need to eat clean. I've been a...

    Team uniforms

    Marta chooses pink because it's her favourite colour and she wants the girls to not "blend in" with the blue mats like she thinks they would if they wear a colour like blue (and if you've seen the pink live they really do stand out, you can't look away). That's why the only patriotic leotards...

    It appears from my interactions with others that some proxy unblockers work and some don’t and it’s dependent on where you are located. So, TunnelBear might also work.
