I just want to see if this is normal. My dd is just coming off her first level four season so she has been on team for about a year. I feel like the communication really stinks. The schedules (summer and school year) rarely come out until just a couple of weeks before they begin. In fact, we are still waiting to find out what our summer schedule is and it should be starting in mid-June. It is beyond frustrating as I work full-time and I am trying to arrange a summer babysitter. Plus, my other two kids are in activities and I would like to have this schedule.
Last year we got an email the last week of July that the gym was going to be closed the first week of August and that it was a good time to plan a family vacation. Uh, yeah right plan a vacation a week out. The schedules make it very difficult to plan vacations and other family events.
Also, we rarely get information regarding our dd's progress. I have no idea if my dd will be training at the level 5 hours or staying a level 4. I am guessing that it will be level 5 and that they will make the determination in the early fall, but I have no idea. We get very little feedback as to how the girls are doing on a daily basis unless we are able to corner a coach. We did have conferences last year, but the head coach ended up doing them with us. Said head coach never worked with my dd and I don't even know if she could pick her out of a crowd so they were pretty much worthless.
Is this the norm?
