gym switch

There are many reasons why I want to switch gyms (insufficent/unsafe coaching, unsafe/insufficent equipment, bullied by coach, favouritsm, talks badly about former gymnasts, doesn't care, etc.) but I am having trouble convincing my parents. They're quite invested with the gym as they are part...

So it seems like me and my niece have reached that point I was hoping not to where a gym change is in order. My niece went from doing gymnastics clinic/classes at the rec centers in DC, no real clubs, no USAG or anything. She loved it so much I enrolled her at the Y closest to us in NoVa and...

Emma had her evaluation at the other gym today. We just got back. She did great and had fun. She kept up with TOPS girls and learned new skills within a few tries. And they would put her into level 4 (new level 3) in the fall, even if she didn't start there until Summer. BUT She's afraid of...

DD will be 5 in a few months. She is currently on what her gym calls preteam, but this is the equivalent of developmental classes at most gyms. Her gym has level 2/3 compete some meets, so level 2/3 at her gym is considered to be team. I chose her current gym largely because her friend was...

My dd (level 4) has one more meet to go this seaon, two if she qualifies for State. The likelyhood of her qualifiying for state is slim, due in part to her coaches and in part, the last meet is likely to be a tough meet. My dd started gym when she was 3 and she is pretty good. She is...

So I've been considering a gym switch for DD for a while now. I think I posted about it a few months ago. DD is 7, competed level 3 last year and did ok. She is not a high scorer, I think her average AA was 32. She has all her level 3 skills but she lost a lot of points to bad form- not keeping...

I'm hoping some of the experts can help with a very tough situation. My daughter's gym has been going through a rough patch. They lost a good coach and have been dealing with coach turnover. What has resulted has been some pretty unfocused practices, and "musical coaches" at the meets...

Well it's been about 8 weeks since the gym switch....she trained 7 weeks with the 6's (competed level 5 last year) and was moved to optional training group this week. She loves it...now for the challenge of scoring out of six and learning the optional skills!!! Should be a wild year!! Any...

So I posted last week that we have decided to switch gyms. DD tried out at one last weekend, but she wasn't there for practice. Well this past week she went to a different gym and practiced with them. I was very nervous because when I called about trying out and explained that DD had been in...

I have been playing around with the idea of switching gyms for a while now but have not been sure wether to do it or not. Hopefully you can help me! We have looked at and gone to an open gym at another gym recently and spoken with the head coach. Here are the pros and cons to both gyms...

Hi, all. I feel like my dd and I have a big decision to make. But, it is breaking our hearts to think of switching gyms. I need a sounding board. She loves her coaches and her friends at her current gym. They have had a strong compulsary and optional program. She made huge improvements last...
