coaches

This may be all jumbled and long b/c I am still upset, but hopefully it will make sense, b/c I am really not sure what to do. I have two girls who are on team. ODD (10) is xcel silver, and YDD (7 - 8 in two weeks, so tech 8)) is xcel bronze. ODD LOVES, LOVES, LOVES our gym, and the coaches love...

Hi all Slightly off topic.............................................. Has anyone got any great ideas for presents for coaches - both male and female? I find female coaches easier to buy for to say thank you! Flowers, chocolates, Champagne - scarves, jewellery etc - Male coaches not so easy...

Someone posted that they've been teaching cast handstand to back hip circle then cast handstand to clearhip and that it was magical. Think it's worth trying?

Just out of curiosity & to compare to our own program...what kind of requirements do you have for a child to be on pre-team? Are there any skills that they HAVE to have to be in the group? We have a Jr. pre-team (ages 5-6) and then a regular pre-team (ages 7-10). Right now we have 7 Jr's and 16...
