    Coaches how do YOU coach these simple skills?

    i have coached at three different gyms in the past 2 years (two of them i coached at concurrently, because they didnt mind, since they are 35 minutes apart). anyways, i noticed they coach different skills different ways, and im wondering, "is this the correct way or is the other way correct?"...

    How do you become a certified coach?

    Hi, If someone is only able to take gymnastics when they are older. (Like me because there's no gym where I live, only where I went to college) Is it possible for them to become a coach? (even if it's just little kids) If it is possible, what do they do to accomplish that? How many years of...

    Parents Meet the coach . . .

    I want to add a "meet the coach" section to the website. My thought is to feature one coach & one dance teacher each month. I'm also playing around with the idea of having a student of the month as well and featuring someone that worked exceptionally hard in dance or gym (not necessarily a...

    Men New Coach

    Our boys just got a new head coach. They were VERY attached to the old coach. He trained them all since they were 5/6 years old. The boys now 10 to 16 are having a very hard time. The new coach has a very good reputation. Seems very qualified BUT there are a few things I don't get. He has...

    Parents Head coach doesn't want my DD on the team.

    I just came home from the gym, and am feeling pretty low. I was told they did not want my DD to move from the level 3 developmental class to the level 3 competitive team. She turned 6 in December, and is doing well in her class. Sometimes she is a little goofy, and she has a stubborn streak...

    Coaches Coach Turnover?

    What kind of coach turnover does your gym have? It seems there are very few career coaches. In my experience, most coaches do it as a part-time job in college or between college and career. We are a small gym that typically has had either one or two coaches coaching our girls team...

    Coaches Spotting technique for a small coach

    I've been co-coaching with a muscular male gymnastics coach who has recently left me to coach the team by myself. As a 5' 2" 125lbs female coach, I can't just pick up the girls and flip them over like he could. A few of the gymnasts are taller and weigh more than I do. Do you know of any good...

    Coach Education?

    Just curious, does your gym provide training for your coaches? Not necessarily in the form of sending coaches to clinics or that kind of thing, but just in making sure there is uniformity in the way skills are taught. I ask because, I constantly seem to run into discrepancies with the girls I...

    Head coach missing meets

    Okay, I used to have 3 coaches, one of them just quit. I always realized that my head coach would be missing the meets that we prepared for for so long. I know that she has her own life, probably very busy, and I respect that. However, sometimes it greatly annoys me. The meet usually only goes...

    coach gone?

    My daughters' coach SEEMS to be done. Coach had to get a full time job with health insurance as she now has an infant daughter, totally understandable. She has not been at the gym in over a week and a half but no one has officially said anything. However, sad to say, I have seen on her...

    Coach Problem

    Well, I have mentioned that I had a kind of mean coach, but I haven't mentioned this situation yet. A few months ago, we had a team holiday party. At all our gym parties, we are allowed to do whatever you want in the gym. But at the holiday party, my coach said not to go anywhere because there...

    Trouble with head coach

    I volunteer 4 days a week, 4 hours a day at a gym I used to coach at. Most people I tell this to, can't believe how generous this seems, especially because I drive an hour to get there. But I love the girls and I want to help them get better. I have been in the process of trying to open...

    Do your coaches coach a level or an event?

    Right now, we have a vault coach, a beam coach, I do bars, and we all do a little floor for all levels. But I know some gyms have one coach per level. I'm wondering which is the better way to do it.

    Suggesting to coach to add element

    Ok - would this be a "no no bleacher coaching" issue - or a good idea? My dd is 9 - on pre-team, working with lvl 4 1 day a week and trying to make team, and competing prep-opt R1. Her gym uses Prep Opt as it was originally designed for - to give pre-teamers competition experience and other...

    Asking a paid coach to volunteer their time?

    Most coaches are paid by the parents of the girls competing in the US. Usually their is a flat fee paid per sessiona dn this is added to the parents fee for the meet. Usually gyms/booster clubshave a number of gymnasts to coach ratio so they are not over or under coached at meets. We at our...

    Beam Deduction Coach standing by beam

    I hear there is a dectution for the coach standing by the beam. Our coach always stands next to the beam like off the matts, but 3-4 feet away. Is that really a deduction? Level 4 none of the girls get any type of spotting. Thanks.
