Parents Tons of athletes left the gym in my area. I don't know why.

Hello, I've noticed that there's a certain gym in my area (located in Toronto, very well known), that many athletes have left and gone to a different gym. 15 compulsory, 3 optional, and 2 Xcel athletes have all come from the same gym to the gym I'm at now. I have no idea why so many athletes are leaving to the point where we have athletes coming mid-season to our gym from that gym, and we currently have 6 new people who made the switch 2 weeks ago. The kids all just say they didn't really like it there, but I feel there must be a deeper reason why. What do you guys think? I feel there may be some abusive coaching going on, as a girl from our gym tried out there last year and then quit gymnastics because she lost her passion there. But what do you guys think?

Something similar happened at our gym. The coach left the gym and came to our gym. The whole team followed the coach. This is heresy but apparently there was a lot of issues with gym owner and coaches.

That's exactly what happened too. One of the coaches left to start his own gym, and then basically the entire team came.
