That’s why I mentioned tuition that is unpaid. Past meet fees, I’d imagine were paid or she wouldn’t have been allowed to compete in past season. No one can force payment of Upcoming season If you are not at said gym.

I 1000% agree. Abusive behavior permeates from idleness. We parents can be change agents.

Most gyms are concerned about tuition unpaid balances. But if they know gym to be abusive, they put that all in consideration.

A gymnastics contract is NOT legal. Walk away from that gym. I did same. Owner tried to call me to harass me. When I finally took her call because I had had it, I simply told her that I'd send her my child's medical bills. I Never heard from her again. You are dealing with light weight bullies...

I agree db acquisition is more ability and awareness based than age etc. But with that said, and I dont know how old your child is but I've seen kids as young as 6 or 7 being pushed to quickly to train them. Sometimes it's more an overzealous coach than it is the kid's ability to get that...

Shawn was my all time favorite gymnast after Mary Lou, but I am appalled by the means to rationalize her lies. “Stretching the truth” is a lie. This is what I see so wrong in our society within the last year. Telling the truth and being morally sound has been thrown to the wayside. I will...

I agree with others about scheduling a sit down with admin and teachers. As a teacher, I need to add to find out your state regulations. Keep in mind, there are some administrators and teachers alike who simply like to be in control. If they think they can strong arm you they will. I would be...

This is exactly my DDs diagnosis. She was 11 at diagnosis now 13. It has been a rough comeback as her body changed in the 7.5 mos she was out. She will repeat lvl 9 but as long as she is pain free that is a plus.

Yet parents Still keep their kids at these abusive gyms. Nothing changes. I have heard from, "There is nowhere else to go." "They are the best around. " "to "Oh they aren't like that to my little Suzy! They Like her!" They are So fooling themselves! I pray they come to their senses. But more of...

I understand what you are saying and honestly, I speak for myself. No. I would not let my child travel alone. I never have and I never will. Even a trip to Great America, and she is 13. Her coach will tell you. I emailed and said I was coming along. Anything can happen. I try not to be...

I understand the need to make these gymnasts responsible and mature. I get that some parents, many really, are far too self involved. But as a teacher, I have to say these TOPS aged gymnasts are babies, 8-10 yo. The Only way to keep them truly safe is to have them travel and stay with parents...

That reminds me of my son... "Are you doing the double, double, flip, flip, pose!"

Code of points? I Love asking is x worth same as y...I know most skills. DD has been in gym for awhile as her older sister was...but as to what each skill is worth? I leave it up to her coach. I told her two days ago when she said WHAT her floor passes are, "Hey, why don't you do a layout step...

DD started homeschooling in her 3rd grade. We did so for many school related reasons. One was because our district was going on strike and another leading reason because my son was graduating and the principal at the school was ruthless. Two big reasons to hightail it put of there. We have stuck...

Thank you! I must have thpught it was October...I got ahead of myself. I realized my error after I posted...

No list of Invite girls this year?

All I can say about this is parents, trust your gutt instinct. Knowing what I know, I would yes report to owner of gym, but I would go Straight to the authorities. I would not rest until perpetrator was arrested and push for more. These people do not stop at one victim. Some of the parents that...

Just how long did it take geddert to realize he was playing with fire...my goodness!

This is so true unfortunately. We had a female coach in this region accused this year with fondling her gymnasts who were special needs...Sick!

What exactly is your point? Just as you have your own ideas and opinions, so do I. Hence I refrenced this sport because we are on a gymnastics site. You don't think I know this happens elsewhere? Really? And where on Earth did you think I was attempting to solve Anything? I merely stated that I...
