    Anon Bad fit for gym or coach clash?

    DD can't hold still. We've worked hard to help her understand and improve her behavior, and it's gotten better, but I believe it will always be a struggle for her. Unfortunately, it drives one of her coaches crazy. I understand the coach's perspective. The coach doesn't need a distraction in...

    Anon When to tell a coach

    My DD is getting concerned and nervous lately. A gymmate lately began doing skills without proper training and no spots at practice. She came to the gym as "self-trained". The teammate does ask the regular coach to do the new skills but is told No due to they are working on something else and...

    WAG What feedback should a parent expect from a coach?

    My 7yo daughter is part of the "WAG mini squad" working towards her Grade 6 in 2024. The club have asked us to increase the hours of coaching from 6 hrs a week to 9 hrs a week. I have no issue with this at all, however so far in the gymnastics journey there has been very little feedback...

    Anon Coach making me feel belittled and worthless.

    Anon Coach Kissing Gymnasts

    Recently a group of gymnast friends were together and I heard them all talking about a female coach who kisses them. I walked in and said “wait, she kisses you?”. They all started saying yes it’s in the cheek and it’s so awkward because she gets so close to your mouth. 6/7 girls said they had...

    Coaches Hi everyone! I'm new, here to learn to be a better coach and help grow our gym

    I don't know if you want to hear my life story or not, but I'm here for advice, so I figure the more background information you have the better. I (33/m) got into gymnastics as an adult in my early 20s. I went to a friend's house who had rings hanging, I played around with them a bit, it was a...

    Off Topic Mean coach? Or just pushy?

    Hey guys! So I have a coach who’s kinda mean. I try my best at practice and I think my form is pretty good. I got too much power on certain tumbling, my lines are really good though. I just feel like no matter how hard I try she doesn’t notice. It sometimes seems like all I get is criticism. I...

    Anon Utah Coach Arrested

    I post this with a heavy heart. This was a coach trusted by many in his gym and others. I was hoping to not have to post this at this time out of privacy and respect but now that’s it’s gaining national attention, it’s best that we show our love and support for those families...

    Hello all, I am hoping to connect with other coaches who are also the parent of a gymnast. I am facing a dilemma and curious if anyone has been in this situation.

    Parents Coach question

    I'm wondering what other parents would do in this situation. I have a daughter who is a level 2 who is 8. She actually said yesterday after competing that she feels like her coaches don't like her. They spent the meet scrolling on their phones. They even were posting about private lessons on the...

    WAG Coach Issues

    So I've had issues with this one coach at my gym for a while. Being disabled, gymnastics is slightly difficult as there are some things I simply can not do. We mainly work around this, but this coach refuses even to try. A while ago, I was on beam when my heart rate got too high, and I felt like...

    Parents Non-parent (and coach) needing advice

    Hi parents! I've heard a lot about you! I'm back coaching gymnastics after a 10 year break. Currently, I'm coaching recreational and XCEL gymnastics (ages 5-12). While I love kids, I have none of my own, and—quite frankly—I'm out of touch with current parenting norms. (Let's just say I've been...

    Anon Should my coach say these things to me?

    Hi everyone, I would like some opinions because I want to know if I'm just being sensitive or not. So to give an example of the things he says to me, I will use today's practice as the example: I am on vault, trying a new vault for the very first time(tsuk full). This is obviously a tricky...

    Off Topic Gift for coach

    So my coach is taking a break from coaching, we just have a last meet left with her. I was wondering if I could give her something, but I don't know her that well, because I've only been training with her for 4-5ish months. PS: I can't buy anything expensive...my parents would probably not do...

    Hello. I am a retired gymnast who tried to leave gymnastics in my past. Ten years post-retirement, I find myself back in the gym (as a coach) and in the process of catching up on all the things I missed. Yes, I just learned about this newfangled "Xcel" program, which my gym offers. Aside from...

    Parents level up or level down, why coach changed their mind?

    My DD started gym at 8, late to the game, then the gym downgraded the JO program to Excel program and she wasted two years there until she couldn't take it anymore because she wasn't learning new skills. So we transferred to a new gym last November.. She did great in the new gym, picking up new...
