    Parents Blatant Favoritism

    Some of the things you described have also happened to my daughter. The high fiving and celebrating other gymnasts for example when they finally nail their routine. She finally nailed her beam routine at their last meet and was so pumped but he barely acknowledged it which really hurt her...

    Her coach does this as well but when that is the case she knows it and doesn't get upset except sometimes with herself when she is just having an off day and can't hit her routines consistently. The situation I am talking about is the team is split into 2 groups because it is a big group of...

    This does sound very similar to our situation. My girl does want to repeat this level next year and build her confidence and clean up her skills more before moving up. HOWEVER, she still wants to learn new things. We didn't do compulsory because she thrives on learning new skills and would...

    Parents Blatant Favoritism

    The reason I said "don't tell me to trust the coaches" is because it seems like that is the go to response when anyone asks questions about how their girl is being trained or treated in the gym and that response is NOT helpful. I have always trusted her coaches but the last half of this year...

    So it's normal when the team is performing pretty similarly across the board for 2 girls to be separated and not allowed to uptrain while the rest are uptraining? They are all working toward potentially moving to the next level all want to work on the skills needed for that level so why...

    She is working on skills in routines she is competing at state. The others are uptraining new skills needed to move to the next level, they are not competing them at state. They all had similar scores all season so this isn't about her having the lowest scores which is why I am confused.

    Every girl qualified for state. She will likely be ready to move up next year but has said to me (not to her coach) that she would like to repeat and have a better year next year and more time to clean up skills for the next level. However, she can't clean up those new skills if she isn't...

    The whole team has scored similarly the whole season so why are only 2 girls being singled out to work on routines and the others are getting to learn new skills?? Make it make sense because it doesn't and they are just as ready for these skills as the other girls if they were given a chance.

    Thank you for understanding where I am coming from. I am staying positive for my girl but on the inside I am fuming at what I see during her practices.

    They don't move up without having the skills that the other girls are currently working on and they aren't going to learn them if they aren't given the opportunity to. Our gym "usually" has all girls at all levels working upskills starting after the last regular season meet even if they are...

    She will absolutely 100% have the same coach. Our gym is short handed and there are no specific level coaches just 3 who do all levels and you never know who you're going to get at any given practice on any given event.

    Parents Blatant Favoritism

    Like I said I appreciate them working on routines to clean up for state however I feel that really working hard on the specific areas where she has struggled every single meet at this point is too late. In our state you don't place at States unless you are scoring 38+ AA. There are teams who...

    Not looking for a new gym at this time but it may be a consideration in a few months. Just curious what others have experienced.

    Parents Blatant Favoritism

    I am sure this has been discussed but I am curious who all has dealt with favoritism from coaches. My daughter has started to notice the blatant favoritism that we as parents have been seeing all year. We were truly hoping the girls wouldn't notice but also knew it would eventually happen. My...
