    Coaches Coach Appreciation

    Hi Coaches - What does your gym do to show coach appreciation? I am basically the owner of my gym and wondering if a party/get together or gifts would be best? What have you received? I am the same age as most of my coaches, who are just out of college, if that makes a difference! Just...

    Parents Spotting giants coach input needed

    I have a question about the method used to spot giants. To get right to the point, do coaches avoid touching the buttocks of the gymnast? What is the proper spotting technique? I don't want to get into a lot of detail about why I am asking, but would appreciate responses from other parents.
