    Coaches Aussie Coach or anyone who knows the Aus L1-3 routines

    Hi! I was just wondering if anyone could give me a list of the skills in L1-3 (a,b,c) please? I'm just about to start coaching again after a 4 or 5 yr break and would like to know the skills before I turn up at the gym! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!:thumbsup:

    Parents Coach favoring

    Hi, I was just wondering if any of your DDs are favored by the coaches. Or not and get really ticked off? Just out of curiosity. My girls don't have the nicest coach around but sometimes favor the better ones or the older ones. Confused!:confused:
