3 weeks before nationals . . . on the day the meet fees went in . . . the gym fired my daughters coach.
I am speechless and my daughter is heartbroken.
they told the girls they don't need a coach that the coach only sets the equipment and spots . . that's all. they can do this themselves.
Basically we spent THOUSANDS of dollars to travel to nationals without the coach she has been working with all year - without the coach that worked every meet all year.
The gym is SHOCKED we are unhappy and concerned. They have 3 weeks to get the other coach ready. Of course they will know the girls bar settings etc . . . in the mean time when the coach they fired wasn't in on Monday none of the equipment was adjusted and last night they yelled at a girl for a bad vault - she told them maybe if it was on my setting I wouldn't kill myself.
My daughter, who is SEVEN, asked me "Are they going to hire someone that does something?"
Several people walked out - not to return. others are trying to get meet fees and airline tickets refunded. Our concerns were met with indifference and disrespect. As if we were ridiculous . . after all the girls don't NEED a coach.
My peanut wants to go anyway . . . I am very worried.
Just needed to vent. It was a long night filled with drama.
Did I mention that 3 weeks before nationals the workout schedule is cut back . . . and costing extra . . . and was required
