Why is this ok?? I see many parents concerns and questions here and wonder how some would feel about this. I dont advocate complaining but to me this is a big concern.
I took 1 level 6 to a meet yesterday to score out.( She actually won the All around) The session included levels 4-6. There was one team there that their kids did not know the routines. The first time I watched I thought the poor girl forgot. But after more girls went and the coach standing along side doing it with them I realized none of their team with maybe an exception of 2 kids knew what they were doing. The judges were shaking their heads and the other coaches looked on commenting. One of this teams coaches even commented they just started practicing routines last week and she didnt want to represent this team at meets. Let me explain this is a gymnastics club that does plenty of advertising of their ELITE coach and staff. It seemed very upsetting for some of the kids and my heart went out to some of those little ones. As a parent would this be acceptable to you?
