coaches

So, my daughters coaches, her bar coach especially (male) tells her "good girl" when she's corrected something or done something really well. She was apparently talking to her friends from school and that came up and her friends thought it was creepy. She's never had a problem before with him...

Hello everyone, I am just curious to hear about the gymnastics paths of kids of coaches! I know they are all super different and I would like to hear how it went for those of you who had kids growing up as gym rats haha! I am trying to figure out if my kindergartener is really into gymnastics...

Is it a normal coaching practice to put an 8-year old child in a neck brace to learn giants on the strap bars so she doesn't throw her head out? My daughter has really never done them before and is just getting introduced to them. I guess I was thinking maybe she would be spotted on them...

What are some great, budget friendly gifts for coaches for Christmas?

Looking for new and best ideas for gifts for both female and male coaches - would love to hear from Coaches and parents what the best gifts are they have given or received. Also, if gift cards, what types of gift cards?

Can MAG coaches coach WAG at a high level?

Hi, I'm new here (well I've been lurking for a while) and I'm training for my British Gymnastics Level 2. I'm getting in a pickle with the supporting, especially where I have to lift or catch the kids. Sometimes it seems impossible that I could ever hold them. I am working with older rec kids...

Hi guys, I like to joke that Im always looking for our Aimee Boorman...we are new to the sport and have no idea where our gymnasts will ultimately end up but they have big dreams. If you could take your kid to any gym in the nation, where would you go? What coaches have caught your eye...

Any chance anyone has a list of these? Lol - I am looking for UGA... Thank you.

Lately, the question of when and where and how it is appropriate to protest social issues has come up in many sports, most notably (but not only) the NFL. I expect it is just a matter of time before this question must be addressed in the gymnastics world, so while this is a politically charged...

My DD has been on her new team for a bit over 3 months now. I stopped in to try and pay meet fees today (unsuccessfully- they don’t take debit cards) and tried to say hi to two of my DDs coaches. Neither had any idea who I was and I realized that they’ve never spoken to me before. I know hands...

Hello all! I don't post often although I do read! My level 3 gymnast is trying to work her way back from an injury. She's been on "light duty" for a few months now and is now, hopefully, finishing PT and able to get back to doing what she loves! She's ready on 2/4 events and is hoping to add...

Hi Everyone. Anyone else teaching gymnastics to preschoolers? There is a lot we can share and talk about...would there be enough of us to start a forum, or at least a thread for things like circuit/station ideas, breaking down basic skills for physical development, class management, etc?

Is it customary for the coaches to bail the second competition is over? 4 of our girls placed and our team won 2nd place all around and the coaches left and weren't there to support our girls and congratulate them!!! I'm shocked, pissed and dismayed!!!!

My favorite coach got her dream "real" job, (yay!) but that means she can't coach any more. Her last day is next week, and I wanted to get her a thank you/good luck sort of gift. Only problem: I have no clue what to give her. Coaches- anything you have really appreciated from your gymnasts? Any...

Hey guys! At my gym, we have a problem with some coaches not being "peppy"/happy and fun enough. They know their gymnastics, but are on the boring side when it comes to teaching. We really don't want to lose any kids because their instructor was boring. So, I was wondering if any of you guys do...

DD needs to be emailing them - all colleges! lol Just wondering...

We are searching for both competitive and recreational coaches for our expanding program in Bristol, TN. We are interested in candidates who have high expectations for the athletes and have some coaching and spotting related experience. Hourly pay is competitive, and the position could turn...

can someone direct me to the rules about coaches/owners involvement in the PA. Specifically the rules on them dictating how the PA is run. Thank you in advance.

So my dd is determined to get her bail on bars, any specific (safe) drills and exercises she can do at home? She has a floor bar to work on Pirouettes.
