    Parents Any Gymmies with Practice on Halloween?

    We actually do this at our school if the day after is a school day. We make it a teacher work day. Let the parents deal with strung out kids!

    Parents Coach wanting to win or good team management?

    Just to chime in on the girls repeating who had high scores last season....... Sometimes there is a lot more to the story. My dd got 36 and change at states last year, but because of injuries, fears, and some training group issues is no where near her new level skills. She is repeating because...

    WAG CGM confession- afraid of DD getting hurt out of gym

    Totally get it! My dd's first season of competition, she broke her pinky two weeks before states in PE. I have been paranoid ever since about participation in PE.

    WAG Meet Director pay?

    Goodness! We have committees for all that stuff too, but no one is interested in doing the meet directing for free. I am really impressed.... wish I could get someone to step up for that! I have called around and the going rate seems to be around $5 per gymnast. Our in-house person has done...

    WAG Meet Director pay?

    Just curious from others what the going rate is.... we have been paying a percentage of profits (12%) which works out to be close to $4000 for a three-day, nine session compulsory meet with about 600 athletes. Our meet director has been in-house, but it looks like we may have to hire out for...

    WAG When is it time to quit?

    Thought I'd give folks an update if your are interested. She made little progress for a couple of weeks and then about a week before the first meet, got put on a deadline for events to compete. two events first meet, three events at second meet (in two weeks) and all-around within the month...

    WAG When is it time to quit?

    this was my first post to Chalkbucket and I have to say thanks for all the great support and ideas! It is nice to have a place to vent and work stuff out because I really don't want to process with the dd :>) I checked with the coach about xcel (she coaches both optionals and xcel) and she...

    WAG When is it time to quit?

    Thanks shelovestoflip. I do try to stay out of it, only offering advice when asked, etc... Good reminders because it is so hard to watch her struggle and not be able to help and not even really understand what it going on.

    WAG When is it time to quit?

    raenndrops... thanks for your post. Glad to hear she is making progress and has found a solution that works. I have suggested xcel to her and she is interested. Most of our xcel girls are former teammates of hers who for various reasons dropped out of the JO program. I just wonder what kind...

    WAG When is it time to quit?

    iwannacoach, I hear what you are saying. I don't mind her not competing all events. I know she says she doesn't want to quit and that she loves gym, but I think a good part of that is her love of her teammates. If the fear struggles are going to be a constant issue it just so draining...

    WAG When is it time to quit?

    We are struggling with knowing when it is time to call it quits. My dd (10, level 5) competed last year as a 5 and had a great season. She started training optional, but a serious of injuries and other issues brought us to the decision that she should repeat 5 instead. Since then, over the...
