private

Since the change to the new forum software...inbox limits have been removed. Due to the large amounts of conversations (PM's) that are taking place on the site (and the increased server cost)...a limit will be imposed again. These limits will be greatly increased for our CB Booster Club...

Are normal ballet classes better or would a ballet private ballet class be better, I'm looking at taking one at a studio walking distance away from the gym before practice one day a week but I don't know if a private would be better or not. Any advice would be helpful!

DD will be 6 in a couple months. She didn't start gymnastics until 4 1/2. She did the preschool class for about a year and she has been in the kindergarten class for about 9 months now. The school she attends has a special format for kids who are heavily involved in extra curriculars and I...

My daughter is currently on preteam. There is a very reputable cheer gym near my house that offers private lessons -I've heard of kids coming from far and wide to take lessons there. I have heard that cheer tumbling is different from gymnastics and can cause bad habits but I'm torn because I'd...

My daughter is going to have a private lesson tomorrow evening and I was told to pay the gym secretary for the lesson. Should I also tip the coach that is doing the private?

I was reading this interview with Beth Tweddle and it set me thinking about whether I should add my DD to my workplace PHI cover now that she has started on the competitive gymnastics path. It would probably cost me a few hundred pounds a year. I'm interested in views about NHS treatment...

and what price range do you think is appropriate, based on coaching experience? do you offer both a half hour or an hour price, and you get a little bit better price for the hour? i am just curious because i'm at a really new (a little over a year old) gym and it's pretty small in comparison to...

My gymnast is 8 years old and in her first year of team gymnastics. She is competing Xcel Bronze and has done pretty well in the 3 meets she's had so far, finishing in the middle of the pack most of the time as well as placing 2nd in a few events. She is in a practice group of 7 similarly...

My DD is asking for more time one on one with her coach and I have noticed when we do the occasional private lesson that there is usually something key she gets that helps her progress, however, I am of the opinion that at 7 she probably doesn't need private lessons every week, but she is...

Hi everyone. My almost 7 yo level 4 DD has been struggling a little with her ROBHS and seems to be losing confidence is being able to do it. She can do it sometimes, but it is not consistent, and often bends her arms and lands on her knees. It seems to be getting worse the last few weeks, not...

I thought I would share the video of Alex's 2nd meet of the season. I am trying to become a good videographer (it's a lot harder than I thought:boggled:!!). Hopefully I will get better by the end of the season!! Alex keeps surprising me this year! She recieved her highest AA score ever at...

My daughter is 5 and is doing a class that is similar to pre-team but it's for 4-6 year olds. It's higher than an advanced rec team and normally kids in this class skip pre-team and go right to level 4 the next year. At least that is how the coaches explained it to me. Anyway, the woman who was...

OK, so... My DD is 8 and a new level 4. She started pre team at the age of 6. She competed one L3 invitational meet this spring (was technically our 'off season') for fun and loved it. DD is essentially brand new to her gym, again. See, we switched gyms in late fall and based upon original...

I'm sure this has come up before, but I am fairly new. Someone please assure me that my DD is not missing out because I am not paying for her to have private lessons. She is 5, on preteam and does two 3 hour practices a week with great coaches. There are 6 kids in her group right now, though...

I was meaning to ask this but someone started a thread on privates but I felt this was a bit different and didn't want to hijack. Our gym starts competition at level 2 and I find it odd but almost every coach in the gym is booked solid with privates all week from little kids in low levels from...

I know from reading that a lot of people on here seem against private lessons or think they are not necessary. I really like the gym we are at and although it is not perfect it is a nice place. The one problem is that it almost feels like if your child needs help with a specific issue or help...

Hi guys, im from australia, i was wondering if it is possible to get private lessons? is it normal or will i get strange looks if I ask? My DD get private lessons in skiing whenever we go for comps or for fun and she really thrives and improves fast with the 1:1 attention so im thinking she...

I have a parent asking about private instruction. I have no idea what an appropriate rate would be. What do you charge?

How dear are your gym's private lessons? My gym's privates are $25 for 30 mins, therefore $50 for an hour and $100 for 2 hours...

Since our gym doesn't have formal TOPS training, would it be inappropriate for me to ask one of our coaches about having my daughter train TOPS in private lessons? Or is that a reasonable goal even?
