Thank you for clarifying.

two of the adults in our adult classes competed a few years ago with the club. You could reach out to some clubs and see if they offered that. I think it would have costed a fair bit because a coach had to go with them on their own outside the clubs competitions and they needed to wear the club...

The level 3-4 are the same music. Not sure if there’s an additional song but our gymnasts have the same music. Change in choreography. Not sure about level 6 as we had optional music.

As long as she is in a squad with a coach teaching them the basics for development and having fun at the same time it doesn’t matter at this age if she’s training 1 hour a week 1.5. 2 or 3 hours. You shouldn’t be worrying about skills at this age. Just having fun while gaining strength and...

A little bit of advice with weights. When you use weights you gain bulk muscle. What you want to gain in gymnastics is fast muscle. It’s like in fighting when you see the big muscles go against a smaller physique the bigger guy has a huge hit but is slow on his feet and after one hit is puffed...

3 year olds grow a lot quicker. I’m more impressed with a 3 year old competing. Does she have someone on the sidelines helping her with floor routine. Like with little dancers at a concert having someone helping remember the routine. Or what skills is she competing. It would be amazing to watch...

I wouldn’t be going to extremes to discuss excel to JO to teachers or their parents. It sounds as though it’s unfortunately young girls typical school cattiness. If it wasn’t about gymnastics it would be about something else. Because those girls spend hours out of school together their...

By the sounds of it you are probably overstepping your communication with coaches. We every now and then get parents like this and we always politely answer their concerns. However if we are getting constant emails or communication from a parent it begins to become overwhelming for the coach and...

Have you been sending them emails or communicating to them numerous times about their coaching or questioning things? I agree the email should have been addressed with we would like to organise a meeting as it sounds like the coaches may have some issues with feeling like your overbearing with...

Is that the reasoning you received ?if so that’s very negative as should have nothing to do with it

When did this begin? Has the coach been there the whole time ? Does he show this negative attitude to the other gymnasts ? If you have made a comment twice and it has occurred again then leave. Unfortunately personalities can clash (or the coach is In the wrong job ) but if you have been having...

It could be that they need to make sure there is room in the squad they want to place her in. Or could be start of the year and they are extremely busy with recreational programs and have allocated a certain admin time to communicate to all competition tryout gymnasts. They could have a few...

This is normal as said above most gyms custom order them at a certain time and then have to wait months for them to be delivered. We email all families 8 months in advance to remind them if they have children who will most likely need new ones soon to notify us then so we can be prepared...

No aerial awareness

This is absolutely amazingly written out and one hundred percent agree. Hand claps all around for the way you expressed this response.

could you please address your thoughts on having an issue with the lack of equality. When your child has been in the limelight when others haven’t and you are fine with this. But are suggesting coaches priorities are elsewhere when another children get to benefit it for a change. Surely no...

It only turns into a parent comp if you let it. And it’s parents with this mentality that then make competitions allow only give out participation awards because of the negativity that this mind set brings on others and the environment. To not be able to acknowledge others when they do well is a...

I guess they’ve made it clear who their priority is. !?My goodness I wish I could insert palm to face emoji right now. You have had so many people reach out positively to this thread. If you don’t start recognising that this is your issue and learn how to handle it you will be become one of...

If the atmosphere is great and you can see the coaches are focused on safety and positively encouraging the gymnasts. To get a small understanding of their results. Research meets to see how they are placing at higher levels. Yes sometimes higher level scoring gyms can be a mix of a negative...

Stations are normally how some sessions train. The coach will show all gymnasts how it’s done then it’s up to the gymnast themselves to work hard at it. Coaches will and should come over to assess how each gymnast is doing but If a station is set up with 8 gymnasts 7 doing lead up skills and the...
