“Coaches Policies.”

      The Coaches have a set of rules and standards they have designed for the Team Girls to RESPECT. The Coaches must reinforce these rules from time to time; they pull the girls and coaches together to discuss and try to correct any problems that may be occurring. Mostly attitudes and hurt feelings – these are still little girls and get hurt feeling easily. Many times it’s the innocent that get hurt the most. They are very emotional at these ages! The Coaches go to the parents when this does not correct immediately after talking to the girls. Remember – the Coaches can NOT cancel practice to discipline 1 or 2 girls! We address the issue after practice or break if they haven’t already taken one, then set-up a conference only if necessary. Conferences can be scheduled.

              REMEMBER – Schedule an appointment ! !

 Rules:

1.     Come to practice ready to workout (put on you HAPPY face and be positive)

2.     Please be on time! The coaches understand homework and school are a priority! (Try not to be disruptive to those already working when you come in late – just remember to properly stretch first!)

3.     Make sure you have all your supplies/equipment – drink, grips, tape, ponytail, etc.

4.     Please RESPECT “ALL the Coaches and your fellow Gymnasts!” The coaches are professionals and they get to be in charge. It becomes difficult for a coach when one of the Gymnasts tries to take control and mandate what to work on. USAG has Rules and Guidelines – Luis and the coaching staff will place your Gymnast by their abilities, skills, scores, and attitude – ALWAYS considering what are the most positive conditions and situations for each girl individually! We want everyone to succeed to her top potential and get higher scores, as they can only feel great about themselves. If not completely ready the coaches are going to hold back a Gymnast for more positive results. They have high standards and this is to protect the girls. Self-esteem is at the top of the list for these girls who have needs to be the best. Gymnasts are disciplined perfectionists. They must remain confident and HAPPY!

5.     If you need a coach’s conference, we are happy to schedule one. Usually, we can take 1 minute to schedule one; however, remember not to pull us from a class or practice.
