I would say that they should. But they can't. Unless they gym is a member gym, which I'm assuming they're not, they can't do anything. Even then, all they could do is revoke member status. They can't shut down someone's buisness, it's outside of their jurisdiction. I do think there should be some sort of list of unregistered programs or programs that have repeated safety issues that parents could look at. The best way to handle situations like this, and I hope to see this kind of plan in the future:
Make all competitions USASF sanctioned, and make it loudly public that those that aren't, are not safe. Make EPs want to be sanctioned. Eventually those that are not will be driven out by those that are. Then make it so that only USASF certified gyms can compete at events. I think to be certified you should have to have an actual rep come to your physical address and visit the gym, like a health inspector, and it should be unexpected. Those that don't pass (while they can't be shut down) could at least be put out of business by informing the parents
Maybe I'm a dreamer...but is this such a bad idea?
