Anon Coaches smoking?

[Anonymous (a486)]

I wanted to know if anyone knew what the USAG rules around coaches smoking are. My daughter has a coach who smokes right outside the gym after every event which I don’t particularly like.

I don't think USAG has a rule, but I'd expect most gyms to. I wouldn't be wild about that either

At least it was probably just cigarettes or vaping, but I get not loving it around kids. A coach at a gym my daughter trained at would often smell like marijuana, and would take his breaks in his car. He didn't coach my kid, so I never pursued it. You choose your battles.

A coworker of mine is a smoker and goes outside at least twice in a practice to smoke. The only real problem I have with it is he comes back in reeking of smoke, and the kids notice and will say things like "does he really think we don't know what he's doing?" Puts us other coaches in kind of an awkward spot.
