We are still for the most part new to this. our 3rd year of gymnastics, 2nd gym, and 1st year of team. 1st gym was AWFUL but we went because my daughters best friends were in the class. My daughter loved gym but she would get very mad because the coach was lazy and didn't teach them any skills just had them do obsitical courses but never corrected or helped. Needless to say we left that gym. 2nd year she took another beginning rec class and had a level 4/5 team coach. This coach was gruff and demanding but my daughter adored her. This year she is on team and her new coach isn't quite as gruff but very demanding but very sweet and caring. My daughter HATES her. I told her sometimes we have to deal with people we don't like to get what we want its part of life. She accepted that. Now another month later she cries and says her coach hates her and she wants to move to the the other group (her level is split in half due to size). The coach on the other days is demanding and very loving warm. I have told her to stick it out but I don't want it to sour her view on gymnastics either. She (like so many others 7 year olds) lives and breathes gymnastics.
So should I mention it to someone? Should I try to get her in the other group although she has made great friends in this group (besides the fact that those days are much harder for us to get to). Or have her keep sticking it out. I think my biggest fear is this coach moving up with them next year after holding that carrot out that coach will not be her coach next year.
