    Parents Missed one day of class!

    Monday, the first day after states, I let my daughter skip gym. I pick her up from school and she is exhausted! She goes Mon-Fri and never misses. She has even put in extra hours training for state. She is the only girl that puts in that many hours. So the girl is emotionally and physically...

    My First Class

    Okay, well I had my first gymnastics class last night. Overall, I think it went well, although I wasn't able to do as much as I wanted to do (I know, I know, take it slow and don't expect too much). We started out by doing aerobic exercises by jumping rope for five minutes. To my surprise I was...

    Parents My girls first Ballet Class!

    So Olivia and Julia started their ballet class. It was fun trying to get them all dressed up for it. Liv was having a fit because she hates tights and her hair pull back but once she saw herself all dressed up, she loved it. They were both a little nervous but they held on to eachother and...

    Little DD told not to come back to class

    A little background story first. We moved DD #1 to a new gym in Oct because we felt that the first gym just didn't believe in her. She had tried out for their team and instead was put on preteam. Well preteam was way to easy as most of the girls were learning skills DD had done for over a...

    Class coverage when sick

    This is also for owners too. Being that it's prime time for sick kids (which usually means some sort of quasi-plague for coaches) What is your gyms standard policy for calling out sick or going to the doctor? The standard drill is make a flurry of phone calls and hope for the best. When the...

    How many hours a week do you go to class?

    Since in the other forum, they have a poll of how many hours a week everyone goes, I was wondering how many hours a week the adults go. Right now I train about 5 hours a week, but could SO go for more.

    Parents DD is the class goof off -- Let it be or say something?

    My DD is a complete goof off lately in the gym. She just turned 4 and is in a developmental class twice a week. I don't care that she is being so silly from a gymnastics stand point. I'm not concerned that she isn't working hard or learning things. She's too little in my opinion to be...

    Coaches Preschool fundamentals H.O.T. class

    I just took this recently as part of the USAG gymnastics college class offerings. I don't coach preschool classes, but there is a lot to be learned since older kids do have to transition. I'm leaving some highlights here for those who are interested. Preschool ages are defined as between 1...

    So.....my DS sometimes misbehaves during class! Yes it's true! He even got kicked out for 10 min.! My gut tells me to leave it up to the coach, and let him handle my DS behavior. If he needs to talk to me, he will. But my heart told me to reprimand him again....so I sent him to think about...

    New here! DD's trial class was today!!

    My four year old had her first class this morning. We went to look at the gym last Tuesday and ever since then our house has been a gymnasium for all of her waking hours. I'm having to try to satiate her appetite for "gynastics" by looking up videos of little gymnasts on YouTube! She started...

    Parents Update on how the dev class has been going

    My little kiddo recently switched from a preschool class to a developmental class. It's definitely a lot more work, but she seems to be really liking it. She asked me if her coach could move in with us! I don't know where that came from. Their little minds work so strangely. She is...
