private

I got a private message a couple of days ago. I have read it, and have accessed it in every way possible so that the site KNOWS that I have read it, yet every time I go to a new page, I get a reminder popping up in the bottom right hand side of my screen telling me that I got a private message...

Has anyone sought corporate or private sponsorships for your athletes? Can you tell me about the experience if you have?

I just turned 14, and I still haven't started "flowing" yet, if you know what I'm talking about. My health teacher last year said that some really hard training athletes, LIKE GYMNASTS, never start flowing. I know that's not going to happen with me because I don't train that hard. But I really...

How much do you usually charge for privates

Hi everyone Tonight at our board meeting we discussed private lessons. we currently don't offer them but are attempting to set them up. How do your clubs run them? Do you pay the coach directly or the gym? How much do you charge per hour? Does it matter if there is one gymnast or more? Thanks so...

The Chalk Bucket was created to allow each group in the world of gymnastics to see through the other groups eyes. This goal will be realized. The coach forum will once again be viewable to all. As a compromise...some things will still be changing. We will need to talk about some of these...

Should the coach forum be private? Please vote... Feel free to post your opinion. Be constructive please. Here are some other threads on this: http://www.chalkbucket.com/forums/question-answer/16513-coaching-board.html...

Hi there. I was wondering how important private lessons should/or shouldn't be for a compulsary gymnast to do well in competition. Is is possible for a gymnast to learn the routines, and the skills, if she is 1 of 10 and there is only one coach? The coaches can't possible pick up everything...

Hey guys! Just wanted to update you on my progress. I am re-learning the front handspring--I am starting out on the tumble track since its been a while since I did them on floor. I am working on bars and learning a kip!!! Man!! There are a lot of things to remember to do during that skill--the...

Specifically a coach question: Next week, my family will be traveling to Bethlehem PA to be with family during the holidays. DD (L3) asked if there were any gyms in the area that would be fun to visit. Of course being raised in Bethehem, there is only one gym that came to mind - Parkettes in...

Just wanted to give you all a little update on my first private lesson with my lil ds. It was just 30 minutes so it wasn't too intense. We did some stretching and warmed up with some handstands and then cartwheels and round-offs. We went over to the tumble track and we did some jumps and...

Hi everyone! My daughter has her first private lesson tonight is is super excited! She has been doing rec gymnastics since February (2008) and is in L2. She goes once a week for 2 hours right now. We have chosen a coach that has worked with her before and they are a great match. He is not her...

My DD has just turned 4 in April, and she will be starting an advanced class in the summer for 2 hours per week. She has a little trouble doing a cart wheel should I get her a couple of privates or should I just let her do the class?

My dd had a private lesson today. She got her bar routine on the big bar over and over again. Last meet she needed a spot on every element and got a 6.3. I am so proud of her.The only skill she is missing is her beam mount. Level 2 has the most ridiculous beam mount. It does not build to other...

Today is DD's very first private lesson. She is so excited I hope it goes well and helps her some. We are doing one hour and she is sharing the hour with one other gymnast. I am curious how this is going to work. The gymnast is two levels above her. So wish us luck. First thing DD said when she...

DD is on Preteam and I was listening to parents talk the other night. One girl was offered by one of the coaches to do Private lessons to help her. Another girl is having someone come to her and work privates outside of our gym. I am wondering should I approach our coach to see about getting...

At one point, private lessons accounted for a sizable chunk of our (wife and I) income. How many of you rely on private lessons as a source of income and how do they work at your gym? P.S. I will edit this post in a while and let you know how they work with us, but I have a private right now.;)
