    Parents Scoring Presentaion/Attitude

    I've heard coaches speak of "presention" to get a better score. My confusion is they speak of things such as chin up, shoulders down, having a confident attitude. But I see nowhere, where this is part of deductions. Soooo, how does this work? Are judges just more forgiving of other things if a...

    WAG 6 year old mental toughness (tears during practice)

    My daughter is in Pre-team and recently has been showing signs of major frustration by means of tears. She holds them back at times, but the coach sees this. Her coaches are tremendously patient and understanding with her. However, it's hard to watch, and it's one of the main reasons she isn't...

    Parents Backhand spring in Preteam

    My daughter is in preteam. A number of the girls (ages 5-7) have their backhand spring on the trampoline. Coaches will not move them to the floor of till they are level 3. Is this normal? Is it because they don't want them getting hurt doing a skill that isn't necessary quite yet? However...
