What a frustrating situation for you and both your daughters. It sounds a bit like my dd's old gym. They were terrible with communication, excellent coaches but really poor dealing with my husband and I. They hated talking with us so would send messages via our 6 yr old child, and if I ever...
Looked this up, and it does sound very much like what she has going on... ironically, we did return just a couple weeks ago from a vacation where she was in the ocean/salt water quite a lot for 9 days. I wonder if there is a connection? It doesn't seem to be improving very much. I will ask...
Definitely not high humidity, we live in a very dry area. They are still peeling really bad, and the rips aren't healing well. Luckily no bars today so her hands get a few days' rest, but not much :-/
Tonight when I went to pick up my dd from practice, she had some pretty ugly hands. Rips on both hands, but what was even stranger was that at least half of each palm was very red and painful. Before practice she had mentioned how her hands were peeling and it appears that the top layer of...
My dd did the Carters camp in the Phoenix are for 2 weeks last summer. She loved it although at her level, I felt like she didn't get quite as much out of it as the higher levels. They had a skit/parents night that the kids all loved, and a water fight the last day. Not a full overnight camp...
DD, age 7 (1st grade) L3 practices M/Wed/Thurs 4-8 pm. Makes for a bit of a late night with the nearly one hr drive home. Sure am glad they don't go any later than that!
I'd be frustrated too! It does sound like she's slowly improving, going from a 6 to an 8.45 over the season. My dd's current gym does allow privates, but her last one, they were pretty uncommon. If you like almost everything else about the gym, I'd just stick with it and keep asking. Have you...
I can't imagine 5 hrs/week for L4! My dd goes 12 hrs/wk for L3, JUST their conditioning each week takes approx 4-5 hours (1 to 1 1/2 hrs per practice for conditioning and stretching). I'd try to find her a great xcel program. She'd have a blast learning new skills and making up her own...
I brought this up with the owner, who was fairly aware of what was going on, at least was aware of the situation with 2 of the other girls. She said they seem to be doing it on the sly though, so the coaches aren't immediately picking up on when it's happening. She is going to have a chat with...
The coaches have definitely noticed, and it sounds like it happens regularly, and with the whole group, not just between one or two girls. She's always got along great with the girls on her team until now. But then again, she often was with girls her age, and the older girls on the higher...
My little dd (age 7) has been at a new gym since December, on lvl 3 team. Overall we've been happy with how she's progressing, they challenge her and her skills have been progressing. I like the owner and the coaches seem reasonably good. However, I'm having concerns with how the girls are...
This camp is relatively close to us and have really thought about it for my dd this year. Glad to hear it's a good training camp. We had considered letting DD do 2 weeks there, do they learn a lot?
