No, problem. It will be addressed immediately. It is a simple adjustment in wording and will be corrected. Instead of yelling from the balcony, where we really cannot hear you, next time just simply come down and politely let us know. Please also know that even after it is addressed a saying slip up could occur. If it does happen again just politely let us know. Also, just as an fyi i have said "don't run like a girl" and i am a female coach. It is a common saying which society is trying to correct.

Subject: Unwanted comments from male staff.



Hello ,

I am writing you about an issue that needs addressed.

While my daughter was in class ,last Wednesday night.

One of the male coaches said " run like a boy. Don't run like a little girl."

I yelled down from the seating area NO! Run like a girl. That's what you are.

The male coach said it again. So I again NO! Your a girl.

When we got in the car that night. My daughter said what's wrong with being a girl?

Ugg! This is not building her self confidence. Self confidence is one of the reasons she joined. This could be detrimental to little girls. Made to feel inferior to males.

This needs to be addressed immediately! I called the next day and left a message. I called again on Friday. No answer.

Please call me or email me.

My husband and I brought our daughter here about two years ago. She had been in gymnastics elsewhere when we decided to try out some new facilities. She has come so far in these past couple of years. I can't believe how much she's excelled as a gymnast. The coaches are so wonderful and supportive - it doesn't matter if she's the best in the group that week or the worst, they take the time to make sure she understands the material and that she's performing at her highest ability level. They truly value every student as both an athlete and a person. So happy here.

High quality gymnastics instruction; well-trained coaching staff who care about ALL students, not just the top stars in the class! My daughter left another facility in the area and is MUCH happier - she doesn't leave class crying anymore! This is what I wanted for her all along!
