Actually, Gymdog, there are two of us mothers talking about the same thing. The op is TAANF, and we are in an xcel program. I would've changed already, but, when I did find another gym and contacted them, they were closing the very next day! Now, that coach is at our gym. He adores my dd and always watches her carefully. He gives her hugs and tells her she a good and happy gymnast. We also got a new jo/hc back in the summer. There is a new gym that just opened a couple of months ago, and we are breaking our necks to find out about the new gym. What programs they have, hours, money, etc.... My dd skills include, robhs, rodbhs, cartwheel on beam, cartwheel cartwheel on beam, half, and full turn on beam, ro off of beam, (probabley front tuck if allowed), tuck jump on beam(super high), split jump(super high and about 110 degrees) on beam, full handstand on beam, handstand turn dismount off beam, squat on, flatback vault and front handspring vault, all of the jumps and leaps allowed on floor plus a nice shushnova. She can do between 10-15 pull ups, 10-15 leg lifts and about 7-12 v ups. She tries to do a press handstand, but cannot do it from the floor, but can do it from the counter top, or table..LOL. She cannot kip yet because coach is not allowing them too, but yet she is already letting them do squat ons and long hang kips/baby giants. All of the mothers on dd team is complaining that coach is not pushing/challenging them enough. All of us has noticed that coach spends a lot of time on the phone or tells the girls to do a skill and just walks away to chat with someone else in the gym. P.S.....sorry for calling you coachp earlier
We did talk about stretching as soon as the meet was over because I knew at the least she would likely be stiff from competing cold. She definitely learned that lesson the hard way. I am sending an email today. She has nothing at the gym so we won't need to go back.
