    Why so defensive coachp? Yes, I asked for opinions, but do you let people demean your own children and get away with it? Do you not protect them? You sound like you lay blame on the victims here. Are you accusing me of causing drama with parents? They have come to me with their concerns...

    Rest assured, there are PLENTY of stories. And I don't give a damn if anyone flips allegiance, that's on them. I wish for additional coaches-THAT won't happen.

    Thanks again for mending my mistake. I guess if they can figure it out, more power to them-they know to run like hell from this coach. Gym owner is super nice though, we all like him.

    I asked her if she wanted to leave and she said "no". She is pretty tough and knows exactly what is going on, I have to give her credit. It is a learning curve right now as I am teaching her what NOT to accept in friendships/a spousal relationship, etc. She is not nervous, anxious or sad -...

    Our words exactly - nothing ever seems to be good enough-toxic indeed. Yes, some college coaches are nasty too. I am keeping a watchful eye on them as well.

    No problem-I get it. DD doesn't want to go further-level 10/collegiate is fine. She is happy with her present skills and so are college coaches so far. Any way I look at it, it seems like a lost cause. I can only hope for the best. Oh, I agree, this sport is tough and can be ugly behind the...

    Thanks Sasha. Gym owner will not tolerate this I am sure. I've known him for 8 years. I just feel terrible he has to be involved on the one hand, but it is his name on the front door, on the other hand. He brought in these coaches to help us, now this happensAgreed, power in numbers!

    Thank you Txgymfan and Sasha. We will try to get all our ducks in a row and set up a meeting with the gym owner. Yes, I agree: bringing the dads will add the element of urgency. Wish us luck.

    WAG Anyone here any news on TOPs national testing results

    I was at the mtg but way in the back and I thought I heard Kim say that there was no set number of 8,9, or 10 yr olds designated to the camps. She said, and I quote "If the 8 yr olds rock then they go to camp, if the 10 yr olds score high, then they will go. ". I do remember her saying that it...

    Parents Info on state skills testing anyone ???

    Well, I did find some answers in case anyone was interested. My dd's coach said that USAG was looking for 75% skills vs. 25% strength/flexibility, however, the TOPs people wanted it to be 50/50, so, they are meeting somewhere in the middle to determine who goes to national testing. Where that...

    Knee problems :( Condramalasia patella - anyone ever heard of or had this before?

    Thank you for responding. PT will definitely be important for strength. . Basically, if I do the pt shown to me and build up the muscles, then I have no problems. If I have not done them, then I get pain from anything repetitive that bends the knee and goose egg swelling. So I was told to not...
