    Coaches Can a coach still be on the floor during level 3 floor exercise?

    My understanding is that there is no deduction for a coach on the floor unless a spot occurs. Is this correct? I have an athlete that likes someone "close" for her tumbling. Thanks!

    Parents Coach's gifts?

    So, our competition season starts in about 6 weeks. Is it appropriate to get the coaches a "thank you" gift for working so hard with our girls? Maybe at the end of the season? I'm not sure what the protocol would be, or any clue what to get for them. Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks!

    Spotting talent....comments by Louis Smith coach

    Did anyone watch the Olympic inspire documentary on BBC earlier today? It featured Huntingdon gym club. I thought something LS's coach said was very interesting. He said (and I'm paraphrasing): "I didn't see any talent at first, it wasn't until he was around 13 that I thought he could achieve...

    Parents Coach/parent friendliness

    Something I've been wondering about: where is the line between being friendly with a coach, and being too friendly? Here's the scenario. Yesterday we were leaving a training venue. Head coach walks past the back of our car as I was packing things into it, and says bye to my daughter (called...

    Parents gymnast to coach ratio

    Women Former Coach/Owner recruiting gymnasts

    We recently (in March) had a shake up at our gym where the head coach/co-owner left. She took about half the team gymnasts with her and most of the team coaches. After a couple months of renting time at other gyms for her team to practice in, she recently opened her own facility about 15 minutes...

    Women Lost a coach

    Our gym lost our beam coach. The head coach is male. So, he does not coach beam. Currently, the rec coaches, who have no gymnastics training or are cheerleaders, are overseeing the beam practices. With the shortage of coaches, we don't know when we will get a new coach. Anyone had to do...

    Women Question for coach about "old time" gymnastics

    Before we got the new vaulting table, gymnasts used a pommel type vault (as everyone knows). Why did the women use the horse turned 90 degrees compared to the men? Sent from my LGL55C using ChalkBucket mobile app

    Men new coach was a great change!

    DS had a sweet young coach for level 4. She made him feel special and taught him how to sit still and pay attention. He scored well but the coaching was adequate, at best, when it came to the actual skills. Now he is level 5 and has an amazing coach. He is the perfect balance of strict and...
