Our gym has a consent form for coaches to post photos of your gymnast from practice, in drills, at meets, etc.
However, it also has a comfortable and large parent viewing area. And no policy about parents posting photos and videos.
This never really mattered because our gym was small and low key, but now our gym started to bring in very young girls from other gyms who are chasing elite and have a big instagram presence, leotard “sponsors”, etc. Almost daily my Instagram feed will deliver a video of one of these gymnasts with my own child very prominently visible in the same area doing her workout. It’s especially frustrating because while the videos are relatively “safe” from the perspective of the featured girl, other girls are in more vulnerable positions like doing leg lifts, straddles, etc and the moms seem to have zero sense about anyone in the frame who isn’t their kid.
What would you do in this situation? For what it’s worth, my child is at a lower level than these girls and is older than them, so we are considered less important in the gym and lower in its hierarchy.
