    Parents Privates?

    Hello. Just wondering if this is common or not. We want to get our daughter a private (we have been asking for over a month now) or two to work on a few things. She is a level 8 and doing very well on 2 events. On vault, she is not flipping in competition yet but she wants to. Her gym only flips...

    Anon Privates - Gym’s cut

    I recently learned that when coaches at our gym do a private, they only get 50% of the total cost. For example, if they do an hour private and the parent pays $60 then $30 goes to the coach and the gym keeps the other $30. I understand the gym is providing the coach with the necessary space and...

    Parents An extra class or privates?

    DD is asking for more time in the gym. She currently does 4 hours 2x/week. She wants one more class. She doesn’t want to focus on one skill that I would ask for privates, but multiple things on each event. Have you always stuck to the class times or asked for an additional class or just...

    WAG Doing Privates for a girl from another gym

    Hey everyone! It's been a little quiet lately so i thought i would ask a question that i was thinking about. So there is a girl that comes in from another gym several times a month and does privates with coaches at my daughters gym. What do you guys think about that? I personally think it is odd...

    Parents Seeking opinions on privates in this situation

    DD’s gym does move ups in January every year. The coaches moved her up in September, meaning she is/was trying to integrate into a class of kids who’d largely been there since January. To make things harder, she sprained her ankle (outside the gym) 1 week after she moved up, causing her to miss...

    Parents Privates?

    DD, now 11 ( Happy B-day) wants so much to move to team. ( Yes, we both know that she will never reach the olympics, or near it, but she really just enjoys the sport ) Coach said she might be able to go on team in the beginning of summer, (yay DD) but she wants to improve so she can start at a...

    Parents Do privates help with getting skills quickly?

    DD (7) is training level 3 and hoping to compete this Fall but is still missing a couple of skills. She came to pre team late and just hasn't had a ton of time to work on the skills. Coach seems willing to do some privates but I'm wondering if I can expect this to help with getting the skills...

    WAG Privates in Level 3

    I'm curious what the perspectives (coaches/parents) are on privates at level 3. Our club is highly competitive and the "parental" culture seems to be if little Sara is having privates every Sunday, then everyone else must follow or the fear is you'll fall behind. Now that we're in mid-season...

    Parents Privates

    Privates are highly discouraged at dd's gym. You need a very good reason to ask for one. DD is an 8 year old level 5. She is the only level 5 in her practice group. The rest of the girls are older and level 6's and 7's. She seems to really be struggling with the dance elements of her floor...

    WAG Flyaway fear...privates or no?

    DD is lvl5 and has been struggling with a fear issue on her Fly Away since mid-summer. One of the girls broke her nose w/her knee on an attempt gone wrong. Since that time DD cannot make herself go for it. She has done them in the past and I am told she does them well in the harness. She...

    Parents Privates For Team Members

    Does your gym allow team members to have private lessons? If so, are there certain rules about it? (i.e. a coach has to agree it is necessary or no uptraining or only so often) If yours does not, and your child was struggling with one thing that he/she just could not "get" during regular...

    WAG Privates lessons, good idea or not?

    My daughter will be a level 4 this year and I was thinking about a few private lessons before her competition season starts. She is in the gym 13 hours a week but I thought maybe an hour or two of some one on one attention may help her fine tune a few things. What do you think about private...

My 6-year-old is only a level 3 and LOVES gym and her coach especially. She BEGS me for privates after hearing other girls are doing...
