    Coaches Not all Chalk is created equal!

    This is a little late but for others reading through old post, I ordered GSC Gym Chalk- 1lb it was about $13.00 cheaper than from AAI, I didn't tell the girls (highschool team) and to be honest they can't tell the difference. The blocks break apart a tad easier but really I always break it up a...

    WAG Feeling 'guilty' about being in the gym.

    I think its great that you are at the gym the last hour or so, its good for parents to sit and watch sometimes as well! As far as your DD abusing that you are there, just tell her she cannot come see you and that your having adult time. I coach and at the same time my son takes classes, a week...

    Coaches More Injuries!

    I could use some advice on how much time you spend with your Optional or High school gymnastics team on Pre-hab, conditioning, etc. I have coached for some 15 years now in clubs (girls aged 6-16 JO levels 1-9) with only ankle sprain and 1 physical therapy referral. I recently was asked to...

    Coaches Help with 4-5 yr old Boys class

    Never expect the boys to wait, for anything! Just like in preschool classes make-up circuits so that the boys are always doing something, even free jump as one of the stations, you pick one of the stations in the circuit and concentrate on that skill, or shaping (with eyes in the back of your...

    WAG Highschool and Injuries

    That sounds like a great idea, I think our school has a general fitness and conditioning program in the summer. Now my brains turning trying to think of some incentives these girls would be excited about. As a mom of three living off coaches pay I'm going to have to be crafty :)

    WAG Highschool and Injuries

    It’s only the third day of practice there is already an injury. An ankle roll from a round off was the culprit. I have heard nothing but terrible things about injuries with high school gymnastics and as a very prudent coach I never imagined there would be an injury on the team I coached so soon...

    WAG I have some Highschool coaching questions, can anyone help?

    I recently got asked to fill a Highschool coaching job on a part time basis. I'm learning this actually means fulltime with part time pay. Regardless I couldn't say no as they were going to just cancel the season. So here I am with a whole bunch of questions. I'm hoping someone can help me with...
