I dunno, even if you come to like the coach I'd look around, just to see what the financial commitment is at other gyms.
did you call?

Great, if you get unhappy you can come to my gym, I will charge $100 an hour and she will be super happy....
So it's an issue because of what you're paying and not necessarily with how it's being coached? She's a pre teamer so I wouldn't worry too much about it unless of course, for $400 a month , this gym has made other promises to you..but she still can't compete until she's old enough.
I would definitely investigate other gyms , if just for comparative shopping, and also investigate the one you're in...what are the fees as she moves up the levels (tuition, assessments and coaches fees) , what is their track record for producing successful gymnasts (do they have a great compulsory program , great optional program, lots of elites , are girls getting college scholarships?) . We have a gym in our region that charges exorbitant fees but only concentrates on their elites, to the detriment of the rest of their JO program, but if you asked about their "success" , they would cite their elites' achievements ...so you need to look at everything that goes on in a gym...
==I can't tell... Is this sarcasm? Are you mocking me? Not sure what the point is....
==Sorry... I guess I was feeling a little attacked because my question seemed to be lost after disclosing tuition. Didn't mean to get snipey. I can (usually) take a joke
YES. I don't expect My daughter to start training for the Olympics tomorrow, so if the class weren't expensive and this new coach spent more time playing but the kids were having fun, I would not have had as much of a problem. I never said the kids were receiving poor coaching, or that I felt my daughter was unsafe. I asked if the new coach's explanation for the drastic changes in the class was typical, because her style was different from our previous coach and every other coach at our gym.
For the price I am paying, yes, I expect my kid to be learning a lot, and when she went from working on a bunch of skills every class to barely any at all, yes, I wondered "well what am I paying for?". Seems perfectly logical, no?
Anyway, lesson learned... Won't ever post any numbers again in regards to money.... People seem to be fixated on it and missing the point of my post all together... :/

And, $400 per 3 hours is outrageous. Even for LA this seems like way too much. Presumably you've already paid through May so there's that, but at some point you might want to look into other options because if she moves up to team you may be paying $500 to 600 just for tuition (this I know is possible in some parts of CA, we've had other members pay that) but that is on top of thousands of dollars for assessments, meet fees, and costs related to the meets like airfare and hotels. There may be another gym that is comparable but more reasonably priced. It would be better to switch now than to move to team and realize you have to switch.

no worries, what area of LA are you in? BW AO area? those are the only two gyms that I can think of that would be worth that type of money.
I didn't mean to offend you because even though I'm not paying what you are for rec/preteam for my Level 10, I still expect to get my money's worth ...as i've told my daughter when we've moved gyms, we're not staying at this gym because it would be like burning money in the backyard. But I guess what i was trying to get at was what did the gym say they were going to do for this particular class/group, regardless of the fee? Or were you just figuring that a lot would happen, and it hasn't?
What gyms are those? Not familiar...
