    Parents How to you deal with the Mom drama at the gym?

    Over the past two years one mom has tried to have our daughter kicked off the team three times. The first time our daughters were laughing at a joke together and the mom told the gym my daughter was laughing AT her daughter. The gym told my daughter she had to miss two days of practice. We...

    Coaches Team vs. Rec drama

    Hello coaches! Just wondering if anyone has/ is experiencing this issue. Our gym has grown significantly in the last couple years, and we are finding ourselves having to share spaces more often. Not a big deal, except it seems there is conflict between the team side of the gym and the rec side...

    Parents Parent drama

    My daughter has been on team a couple years now and for the most part I am there for the last ten minutes of class to say hi to people but lately there is just so much drama. There are a couple of entitled parents and I stay out of it because it is not my business but get interjected into it...

    Parents Middle school drama + Gymnastics

    Hi, My daughter just started middle school in a new town. Being the new kid she got alot of unwanted attention. She is kind of shy and keeps to herself. On her first day of school she had to get picked up at 12:30 since her summer scedule was still going on. When she came back the next day a...

    WAG And the drama continues

    I have posted a few times about my DD2 and the drama that she has had with her school ‘friends’ over gymnastics. A little background info: In 2019 and into 2020, DD2 was XS. A group of her friends that she has been tight with since kindergarten are also gymnasts at another local gym who tries...

    WAG Friend Drama, Gymnastics related

    My 8 year old is currently competing XCEL silver and is crushing it. She is doing so well, scoring at least 36AA at each meet, breaking PR’s at each meet as the season continues. Her team as a whole is doing awesome and has snagged a few 1st place finishes so far. Anyways, she has a group of...

    WAG The drama of the clear hip

    Dd's L7 bars are finally coming into focus. The handstands are to vertical or nearly so. The giant is decent (probably .1 off for a slight arch). She's finally gotten her giant flyaway back - no more fears or releasing early or late. Now it's the just dreaded clear hip. It's too low and she's...

    Parents Competition drama

    I need to vent....I don't understand why the kids and parents feel that when you go to a competition they are only competing against their own team. Back story our l7 merged to make just one. The new parents are saying now their daughter has to compete against mine and are worried. I try to...

    Parents Navigating mean girl drama

    DD is in third grade on currently on Xcel Bronze. She is in class with a girl who goes to the same gym and is on L3, and we frequently carpool b/c their practice times overlap. Over the course of this year the other girl has gotten increasingly nasty to DD in school. She announced to the class...

    Yay! There was no "drama"

    I was just thinking about it, and I am so happy that the media didn't set up Simone and Aly in some sort of rivalry. I might be remembering it incorrectly, but I feel like in 2008 you were either in Shawn's camp or Nastia's and the media capitalized on that, making it seem like a rivalry.

    Parents Booster club/gym drama advice needed

    Hey all! It's been a long time since I've been on here! So the gym my DD attends was a start up gym about 4 years ago in our little town. We have been with it since the day it opened. It's the only gym in town and we were very excited when the owner opened it up. My DD was among the original...

    Parents Telling the difference between the drama queen and the really injured..

    In my ten years as a parent, I've never been good at telling the difference as to whether dd is actually hurt, or whether she is overreacting. She is a massive drama queen. Should probably consider a career in the performing arts.. She apparently hurt her foot yesterday doing sole circles, I've...

    WAG Teammate Drama

    Today at practice, a few teammates were arguing over something, and it just got worse and worse. One of my teammates brought me by mimicking me. I was cheering her on while we were working on beam skills, and she started mocking me. I'm not trying not to sound like a complainer (I'm not), but I...

    Parents DD gym drama :(

    So after posting how long DD has been at her current gym, 9 years almost 10, the head coach quit on Friday. I am really upset about this. Our gym has been one of the strongest gyms in the state with multiple L10 and strong performances throughout the levels especially in optionals. Now our gym...

    Parents Looking for coping skills for girl drama - mixed ages

    I looked through some older posts and can tell this has been an issue for many others. DD is new to her group of 6 girls. The ages are 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 15. DD is 8, and emotionally mature for her age. The group spends 12 hours per week training together. Since joining the group, DD no...

    WAG Typical gym lobby drama

    My daughter is a great kid surrounded by other great kids with great coaches. In fact, I regularly gush about the joyous triumphs of individual gymnasts and our gyms successes as a whole. Both of my kids are in the best place for them (1 boys team, 1 girls team). HOWEVER, I feel like every...

    Sudden drama at practice???

    My team has 8 girls on it. The day I met two of the girls, they were giving me the looks. Though, there's one girl, Grace, who's super sweet, and nice, and will stick up for anyone. Anyway, at practice, Grace wasn't at practice, she's on vacation. Warmups were pretty normal, pretty slow and...

    Parents Teamates and drama

    hello everyone, just need some opinions and advice on how anyone handles in inevitable drama with 11-14 year olds. I need some ideas for building team sportsmanship, and support of one another. Do you as a parent interfere? Let them work it out? or have a team parent get together to discuss...
