Coaches gymnasts to coach ratio per session

[GymKatsMom]

Trying to figure out funding to send coaches to a "fly away" meet.
The meet might combine sessions, which would put around 11 girls for one coach. Do you think this is too many?

I think 1 coach can handle 11 gymnasts. It just depends how old they are. You can set up station so that the girls can work on this such as handstands, flexibility or the like independently or with a partner while the one coach spots on a more difficult station.
If they kids are very little then it might be too many.

One coach can handle it, however we always send a beam/floor coach along with a bars/vault coach. Also with our one big travel meet I always include my whole staff. It's important for the coaches to be a part of what they help to create.. After all, seeing the fruits of your labor ignites more fruit!
