Hi Everyone,
I am just curious as to what all the other parents or coached thoughts are on this. My daughter is an 11 year old (just turned 11) level 9. We travel with the team for meets and have since level 6. Now that she is going to training camps and other things, her coach seems to think that she should be traveling to all of the extra things without her parents. Now I know that when she gets older she will be traveling on her own some but what is the common gym trait regarding travel. I feel that the parents have every right to be with the gymnast ( travel with them, not be with them at every moment) and we are paying a lot of money for the gym, why should we be getting an attitude about travel. If my daughter would get hurt and I would not be in the same state, I would feel horrible. What are your thoughts on this? Do all of the coaches feel that the parents should not be around or is that just our gym?
Thank you!
