    Anon Gym communication about behavior/culture?

    How often (if ever) does your gym communicate about perceived team-wide culture issues? Is it done by email or by team meeting? I’ve been part of other sports with occasional chats when things needed to be discussed, but it happened at an age where they were old enough that coaches would...

    Parents Coach Communication

    I am just curious. Our gym is very strict about communication with coaches. All communication between parents and coaches it to be done via email via the gym’s email platform. Texting a coach directly is a big no no- unless it has to do with a private lesson- they have to be coordinated through...

    Parents Communication expectations

    How much/often do you think a coach should be communicating with a parent about their child’s gymnastics and how much/often do you expect to get from your child about what’s going on in the gym? Do your gyms do progress reports and goal setting for skills? I’m just trying to figure out how much...

    Parents Communication

    What are some reasons that you experienced parents would think coach talks meetings would be needed vs. Owner/Director conversion. Me and my gym bestie definitely disagree but there isn’t any rules on this? When do you determine to address a concern or let it ride?

    Parents Gym Communication and Coaches

    Hello, I need some perspective. My 9-yr DD competed L2 last year, and is on the cusp of moving to L3. My dilemma is this: She loves her gym, but it's a very busy place with wait lists for classes, they move coaches around often, and I feel like she's constantly overlooked. She is not at the top...

    Parents Changes and lack of communication

    My DD started at her current gym last September and moved to their pre team in November. However, communication has been really lacking from them. They say we can always speak with the coaches, but when I have asked about DD's progress, all they ever really say is she's doing fine and making...

    Parents Is this level of communication pretty standard?

    DD started gymnastics a little less than 2 years ago, when she was 7. We love her gym, it's been a perfect fit. The coaches are very kind and nurturing; it's an xcel only gym, so is relatively low-hours and low-stress. The coaches do a good job of giving the girls routines they can execute...

    Parents Communication about scratching

    Gym drama alert! Our gym competed at compulsory sectionals last weekend (my daughter is L3). Two of the girls on her team were scratched from floor, presumably because they don't have a reliably safe BHS. Fine; good call. The problem is that one of them found out she was being scratched in the...

    Parents Communication Issues? Disorganized?

    I'm feeling very frustrated with my DD's gym right now. After considering switching, we decided to give it one more season (and take it from there). I had a long talk with the HC and I thought we had a plan in place for this coming season (we compete in the Spring). My DD was level 1 this...

    Excellent Gym Communication

    Hi Everyone, I've recently been given the opportunity/challenge of helping to improve parent/team communication at my daughter's gym. I've already had an amazing meeting with the head coaches and we came up with a couple of great ideas but I wanted to bring the question here as well. For...

    Parents New Gym, struggling with Coach Communication

    So after 4 years at the same gym, we moved gyms back in April. The main coach has been a coach for 30+ years, but seems to struggle with communication both with the gymnasts (my 11 year old DD is afraid to ask questions) and with the parents. So last night my daughter was frustrated as she was...

    Parents Horaay for Communication

    So I am on another thread that is examining the positives and negatives in the parent/Gym communication paradigm. I have not always been a fan of my Gyms communication BUT now I have a wonderful story to tell--in part thanks to reading on here: There have been a lot of changes at my gym over...

    Coaches Survey about Teams, Communication and Tech

    If you could take a little time out of your day to do this survey for me it would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to learn about different teams communicate with everyone and how they use technology. https://goo.gl/forms/pEwcuSDc5JwkVurs1

    WAG Communication

    DD has only ever been at one gym, so I'm trying to find out if what goes on at our gym is "normal." Our HC is also co-owner. Communication froM HC is minimal at best. Sure, she gets meet info out to us ( albeit not timely), but there's no communication regarding DD's progress, goals...

    Parents Team Communication

    How much team communication do you receive from the Head Coach? Not communication about your child...but about the team. How is this communication formatted? Do you have parents that just don't ever look at anything?

    WAG Communication with the coaches

    My dd started in a newly formed group with a newly qualified coach 3 months ago and I was given hardly any information from the coach apart from time of the class and the price. My oldest dd is in a disability squad and there is communication from the coach after every session even if it is a...
