Deep breath. At our gym it would be really odd for preteam to be working ro-BHS-BHS. Skills are not very important at that level, they are working on strength, conditioning, form, and perfecting shapes. I do hear your frustration, but I'm gonna play the devils advocate here. Posting all that information here, bringing it up four times--admit it, you really don't like this kid. Yes sounds like mom may be CGM. But no doubt mom and child can tell by watching the practices that you can't stand her kid. There is NOTHING worse for a parent of a preteam or team kid than having a coach who wants their child to fail to prove they are right. That would bring out a little crazy in even the best/mellowest of parents. It is unlikely that is is not showing in how you treat her child, despite your best efforts. Could that be contributing to her behavior flare up issues? Very likely. Are you sure she doesn't know that you hate having her in your group and resent that someone else put her there? Kids are sponges and pick up on a lot. I would think it's a horrible place for a parent to be in. Their child has a dream of competing on team. She has a coach who can't stand her and wants to see her fail to prove a point. Why are you so bothered by this in a preteam situation where the focus should be on strength and conditioning? Instead of focusing so much on kicking her out, why not challenge yourself to helping her do her best? Can you give her some strength homework to do at home? Does she have a pullup bar? Have you suggested it? Or you can continue on the warpath and eventually her love of the sport will get squashed.
huh? she didn't insinuate any of the above.
