DD has competed with the same gym for 6 years...she just completed her 1st yr at L8...considering an injury which kept her out of full practice for 6 weeks beginning in oct and then a car accident in dec 1 wk prior to 1st competition...she had a fairly successful year...her coaches were very disappointed that she did not make our regional all star team...in fact they seemed disappointed in all L8 gymnasts this year...which brings me to my dilemma...the structure of summer practice has changed to a mandatory all day practice (9 - 4:30) on mon and wed and tue, thurs and fri 9 - 12:30...DD is already committed to a summer job on fridays (long established prior to this change) and really doesnt want to spend full days at the gym...there is no compromise on schedule...we have made the tough decision to leave and go to another gym...is there a good way to approach her coaches (who have become our friends) or is this just going to be a bad scene
