@Pineapple_Lump Thank you for sharing that instagram account. Not only was the video you shared so on point, but I also found this video on her page that if I didn’t know better- I’d say was my kid’s former gym. Every red flag she mentioned existed. Which of course means I deal with a lot of...

No he I will remain ineligible/banned. Safe sport did their own investigation and their burden of proof is less than in criminal court so it sticks. A safe sport rep actually flew here and testified on our behalf. He also has another case pending in domestic violence court for assault...

One of the things the defense argued was that touching vaginas and breasts was normal and necessary. One gymnast testified for the defendant and claimed that both the defendant and all of her coaches touch her vagina everyday….not occasional accidents but everyday routine spotting and shaping...

Hi there. I haven’t been on here in a long time, but I got an email from Chalkbucket yesterday notifying me that I had a private message so I decided to log in. Turns out the message was from a caring mom in reference to my daughter’s post she made on her social media. After reading the...

I’ve heard the cultures at Raleigh School And TAG are positive. RSG has a longer and larger history of successful optionals, but TAG is rising on up. I think visiting all three would be a great idea.

I would not suggest Chapel Hill gymnastics or Bull City gymnastics. Owners of both gyms are related. One of the family members is currently banned from USAG and in the middle of criminal proceedings for multiple sexual assault charges against several minor gymnasts as well as a domestic violence...

Hey Cate! At that age, Tillys was a favorite.

My kid is no longer competing so I can fess up now that she went from Xcel Silver to Level 5. This was in 2015 or 2016 though so maybe it’s tracked more closely now. I know the other girl who did the same thing with mine is a senior now and still competing though. (We are in NC.)

Thanks very much, Landerson and mom2newgymnast.

Ahh I reread your post and see you stated you reported anonymously. If you used an email address or entered a phone number that has been in USAG or Safe Sport’s database, they may have been able to identify you. However, I have been very impressed with Safe Sport staff and I really don’t believe...

Were you told by Safe Sport that your name would be disclosed? Because my child was. (My child is currently in the middle of a criminal case against her former gymnastics coach for sexual assault and battery.) When she and the other victims reported the sexual abuse (as well as the emotional &...

You’re not supposed to but mine did. She moved from Xcel silver and immediately competed level 5 without my realizing that was against the rules. After the fact I found out but there was no going back then! That was in 2015 I believe. There may be better systems in place for tracking that now...

Mine started at 8 and quit right before her level 10 season at age 13. She had a lot of injuries. Granted, she was practicing 31 hours at one point, so a lot probably has to with intensity vs duration. I honestly don’t think there’s any way around both acute and chronic injury once you get to...

Yep. This and so many other reasons, too.

Yes, yes, yes. My daughters former coach was just arrested 3 weeks ago and he has done the same. Although this article says he is no longer the “administrator” so I’m not sure about actual ownership...

Not only did owners know, but parents did too because they agreed to hide cars down the street....

Entry fees may skyrocket to compensate.

One gym partially opened here in NC yesterday and police actually shut them down today.

Wow. At least the cities done seem to be ready to jump on that. https://jambands.com/news/2020/05/04/missouri-governor-allows-return-of-concerts/
