If he/she is coughing, sneezing, ect you probably don't want them going to gymnastics. Also ask he/she if they feel like they can go to practice. I remember going to practice with a fever and headache one night and after that i felt terrible. So please ask your child if they feel well enough to...
This type of thing keeps happening to me also. My coach thinks it has something to do with the growth plate. It might be something that is called severs. Severs is very painful but doesn't actually do anything (I mean it doesn't give you any injures). You might want to go see a doctor about this...
