Yeah, I agree. OrangeSoda, I can't quite pick up on your tone and so I'm hesitant to respond. I can't tell if you are kind of slapping back at anyone who is responding in a way you disagree with or if you are truly thanking people for alternative perspective.
I think I'm going to lurk for a bit until I get a better handle on the tone of this thread. I'm trying to avoid "those" threads.
No backlash here. I didn't ask the question just to hear what I wanted to hear. I appreciate all the comments, including those that are not necessarily what I want to hear!
Taken as a whole it sounds like I need to relax - not surprising to me since I tend to be a busybody both physically and mentally. Ha. It was difficult for me to watch my child do something I perceived as "wrong" repeatedly and have it overlooked, but it seems that switching legs isn't even necessarily wrong at this age, and even if it was wrong, I shouldn't be so hyper focused on it. I can handle that.
I'm still unsure what to do with the bridge and kickover cautions. I'd be VERY intimidated at the thought of saying anything to anyone about them. Is it possible that since dd's in with a select group of girls, the coaches know of the risks and have deemed her strong enough to do them without risk of injury? I guess I don't want to believe they're dangerous because then I have to take action! Mentioning a leg switch is one thing, but questioning a teaching repetoire is quite another!!
