    Parents Coach tantrum

    Has anyone ever had the head coach walk out of a practice in anger at the girls, without an explanation? How did you handle it if so? Also can I have some points of view on coaches kicking girls out of practice because they are struggling with a skill. I'm not sure how much of this is common...

    New Coach Who Wants Major Change In the Gym

    Hiya. I've just got a new coach, and she wants to change everything. The rule in our gym is that you can throw what you like, but it has to be just about perfect. She wants to change it and wants me to compete moves which I'm training. I've never worked like this and I'm kind of uncomfortable...

    Parents Gift idea for a great coach

    My daughter has one coach that has really helped her out & gone above & beyond. Next weekend my DD is going solo to a meet with this coach & I would really like to have my daughter give her a little inexpensive something, just to say "thank you". Is it appropriate? And, any suggestions?
