Parents What is the typical coach to gymnast ratio at your gym?

[RTT2]

Curious.

 

[ladybird]

About 10:1

 

[MILgymFAM]

We've had everything from 3:1 to 16:1.

 

[3rd_time_around]

For classes, no more than 8:1, but mostly 6:1. Team is a little higher.

 

[Gymmommy71]

About 8:1 for optionals, XCel P/D and level 5. Level 2-4 and XCel S/G are probably more like 10:1 - 12:1.

 

[dancingimmie]

No more then 8:1 for levels 4-10. They are very strict about this.

 

[raenndrops]

It depends on the day. Rec classes are generally 7:1 or better.
For team, it could be as high as 16:1, but if that is the case, it is only one group and there is often a "float" coach that can step in to any of the groups.
Typically though:
Level 3 - 11:1 or better.
Level 4 - 9:1 or better
Level 5 - usually mixed with Level 4 at 15:2
Level 6+ and Xcel - 16:1, but they are rarely all there and 4 are currently out injured, not all gym related... so currently 12:1 or better.

Highest I have seen is 10:1, and that's only for some events. There is usually an extra coach or assistant to help out for at least part of the time. Normally 4-8:1.

About 1:8

 

[e'smum]

for JO we have 4 coaches. one is strictly level 3 and 4 (she's also the head excel coach). one is 4 and 6 and then the HC floats between 4-9 but mostly upper levels. although he has been known to get out on the floor with the 3s to fix the floor routine mistakes. the AHC is mostly 7-9 but she also helps out with the 6s. i'm not really sure what our ratio is at any given time though since not everyone practices on the same nights/times. the former gymnast who did our 6 floor routines comes in on most tuesdays to help out too. she's a teacher and i think this is her way of keeping one foot in gymnastics.

Ours is really varied because levels often work together and the coaches work with all different levels, but I'd say 1:8 sounds about right.

 

[kmc]

For team girls (either JO or Xcel) we are usually around 1:7 but it can be as high as 1:10 in the lower levels.

 

[2gymkids]

Ours varies widely. Last year for my daughter it was 1-2 coaches for 5 kids (one coach was always with them, the second would help out after her group was done). This year it's 1 coach for 9 kids, with some help for the last half an hour or so from a second coach and occasional help from some of the optional coaches.
Excel probably has 25-30ish girls and maybe 4 coaches?
Rec classes are capped at 1:8.

 

[vbdb]

We're about 1:6 or 1:8.

 

[gg_bug]

Optional and Xcel platinum - 13:1

 

[gymbeam]

1:8 is their max and most groups throughout the day are right at that- from rec on up through xcel and jo.
there are also a couple of morning jo groups (TOPS & HOPES) who get 1:4 several times a week.
