Practice Meet Scoring/Review Sheets

[gymmom-n-coach]

Does anyone have an example of what to put on a practice meet score sheet, to be given out to gymnasts/parents at end of meet?

For our practice meet this year (new L3s and 4s only), we want to try something different by having the other coaches give out a ballpark range for score, as well as a section for comments. For example, vault - score 8.1 - 8.5/good run/need to squeeze legs together.

Needs to be something very simple and easy... any suggestions or comments would help!

Also - has anyone been in a gym that has done this where it hasn't worked out? A fellow coach thinks it is just opening a can of worms....

We did that with our pre-team level 4 kids. We gave a ribbon(representing the score range) and then put 2 comments for each event. 1 comment about something done correctly and 1 comment about something that they could improve.

I agree with this coach...because you do realize that these parents are going to compare notes and have their own freak out sessions over what was or was not said about their kid...I wouldn't touch that type of stuff with a ten foot pole at those levels...

ITA with Bookworm. All the parents will be swapping "reviews" and not understanding half of it anyway. Instead you could get the parents together and give an overall "good point/bad point" of how the team as a whole is doing on each event. Can be brief like for vault, "the run is much improved for them---need still need to work on the handstand position." Reassure parents they'll see improvement and not to get fixated on scores and call it a day.
