    WAG Do your coaches say this?

    So, my daughters coaches, her bar coach especially (male) tells her "good girl" when she's corrected something or done something really well. She was apparently talking to her friends from school and that came up and her friends thought it was creepy. She's never had a problem before with him...

    Parents Any gymnastics parents who are also coaches?

    Hello everyone, I am just curious to hear about the gymnastics paths of kids of coaches! I know they are all super different and I would like to hear how it went for those of you who had kids growing up as gym rats haha! I am trying to figure out if my kindergartener is really into gymnastics...

    WAG Q for coaches about learning giants

    Is it a normal coaching practice to put an 8-year old child in a neck brace to learn giants on the strap bars so she doesn't throw her head out? My daughter has really never done them before and is just getting introduced to them. I guess I was thinking maybe she would be spotted on them...

    Coaches Strength training for coaches

    Hi, I'm new here (well I've been lurking for a while) and I'm training for my British Gymnastics Level 2. I'm getting in a pickle with the supporting, especially where I have to lift or catch the kids. Sometimes it seems impossible that I could ever hold them. I am working with older rec kids...

    Off Topic Athletes/Coaches taking a knee during the anthem at meets

    Lately, the question of when and where and how it is appropriate to protest social issues has come up in many sports, most notably (but not only) the NFL. I expect it is just a matter of time before this question must be addressed in the gymnastics world, so while this is a politically charged...

    Parents Do coaches know you?

    My DD has been on her new team for a bit over 3 months now. I stopped in to try and pay meet fees today (unsuccessfully- they don’t take debit cards) and tried to say hi to two of my DDs coaches. Neither had any idea who I was and I realized that they’ve never spoken to me before. I know hands...

    Parents Negative "motivation" from coaches?

    Hello all! I don't post often although I do read! My level 3 gymnast is trying to work her way back from an injury. She's been on "light duty" for a few months now and is now, hopefully, finishing PT and able to get back to doing what she loves! She's ready on 2/4 events and is hoping to add...

    Any preschool coaches here?

    Hi Everyone. Anyone else teaching gymnastics to preschoolers? There is a lot we can share and talk about...would there be enough of us to start a forum, or at least a thread for things like circuit/station ideas, breaking down basic skills for physical development, class management, etc?

    Parents Coaches not around for awards??

    Is it customary for the coaches to bail the second competition is over? 4 of our girls placed and our team won 2nd place all around and the coaches left and weren't there to support our girls and congratulate them!!! I'm shocked, pissed and dismayed!!!!

    WAG Coaches Parting Gift

    My favorite coach got her dream "real" job, (yay!) but that means she can't coach any more. Her last day is next week, and I wanted to get her a thank you/good luck sort of gift. Only problem: I have no clue what to give her. Coaches- anything you have really appreciated from your gymnasts? Any...

    Coaches Incentives for Coaches

    Hey guys! At my gym, we have a problem with some coaches not being "peppy"/happy and fun enough. They know their gymnastics, but are on the boring side when it comes to teaching. We really don't want to lose any kids because their instructor was boring. So, I was wondering if any of you guys do...
