In another thread there is a lot of talk about coaching styles and in particular yelling at the kids in a somewhat negative fashion rather than either yelling to be heard or yelling if there is a safety issue that needs to be quickly addressed. People in the past have also commented about...
Could anyone direct me to either links, brands or photos of leotards like the one below that have cut away bits that allow a different colour to show through?

We are almost certainly about to change gyms.
My child is 5, in an um, elite track I guess program (IDP) and currently trains 12 hours a week. There is a good chance that she will end up picking ballet over gymnastics when it becomes impossible to do both.

Anything else that might be useful for us to know about?

So, I've bought a Jalie pattern, read a bunch of threads, learnt that there is a crotch panel in the biketard here and located my overlocker (what we Aussies call a serger).
Then I have a bit of a panic about needles and thread... hopefully the good people of ChalkBucket can come to the rescue...
Hi, I'm new to CB but have been lurking for about a month.
