At my daughters gym they have what is lovingly called "The Board". This is a place that a gymnast gets to put her name when she achieves a new skill. My daugher who has been at this gym in the rec program as well as team for 2 years has yet to be told she can put her name on it. However, all the skills she has she learned there. Recently at open gym she achieved her front hip circle, she even showed the owner who kindof gave her a nod and looked the other way. This was after he had told her a week before that in order to move to working more on her kip she HAD to have the FHC. No "Way to Go" or anything. Anyway, last week another girl got her front hip circle and after class was told to put her name on "The Board". My daughter asked if she could also put her name since she had not been able to yet for her FHC and was told "No". She left the gym in tears. Alex has a hard time asking for anything and then when she does she is told no. I did ask her coach why and was given a lame excuse. Am I making to big of a deal of this? To the girls that board IS BIG deal. I am not one to make waves and do not like confrontation but this seems to be a trend when it comes to Alex. She is just not noticed most of the time. I am just not sure if I should address this again or not with her coach or the owner
