    Women Coach/Judge Parent/Judge

    My question is: Can a USAG judge judge a meet where her own gymnasts are competing and her own daughter? Meaning she would be judging her own team and her own daughter. If it isn't, how do you go about reporting this type of thing because it is clearly unfair.

    Women Gymnast and a coach parent

    I coach an 8 year old gymnast whose mother did gymnastics in the past. Her mum is my assistant coach and has been over a year. She is a wonderful assistant for me and she's really good with the kids. She's a warm and steady person but demanding coach and does great job. The problem is her...

    Parents Today my 5yo asked her coach...

    for salt for her hands. At first he was confused but then realized she wanted chalk. We all got a good laugh out of it, I love little kids. I'm still not sure if she thinks you salt your hands or if she was just having trouble pronouncing chalk.

    Coaches Officially JUST a "bench" coach for now

    Well, I have had shoulder pain for a while (knew it was my rotator cuff and was trying to "rest" it and all that good stuff and avoid surgery). Well, Friday, the pain got so much worse that I had to make my brother finish cleaning the house. Saturday I went to Urgent Care. The doctor examined...

    Women Coach's comment...

    In the last few weeks my coach has made negative comments about my body type/weight. Fortunately I'm leaving this gym in springtime, but for the moment I don't know how to deal with this. I believe that comments about body types have no place in the gym... especially when directed towards...
