Just substitute the word "gym" with "school" and make the choice
Original gyms also seem more accommodating if the gymnast that is leaving to train elsewhere is the less skilled of the two siblings.
Wow. I too would have removed all my kids from the studio. That's interesting.I have seen this at gym only if the original gym (ours) does not offer the desired training track (Xcel). Once our gym started offering Xcel, the sibling came back.
I have seen it in dance though, and know it was not an easy decision for the parents to make. This family exhibited better(?) parenting than I would have, for sure, as one dancer was practically bullied by the studio owner at the dance studio all their daughter attended. They moved the bullied daughter and allowed the others to remain. Me, I would have taken them all out of that environment but the mom was adamant that the younger girls were fine and were not experiencing anything close to what their sister had. The older girl ended up at a different studio then quit dance after a couple of years whereas the younger ones are thriving at the original studio. (We were at both studios and I know all that went on with all dancers involved).
I would assume that a lot of it is based on the personality of the gym owners/management. Our gym was happy to get the sibling back after attending another gym for Xcel!!
