Wanted some feedback from parents and coaches on Halloween practices for younger teams (say y1 with many 8-9 year olds)? Our gym has a very strict attendance policy where pretty much the only accepted excuse is school events for a grade, and many teams have practice scheduled on Halloween. We have always been team first and I understand competition season is coming, but given the sacrifices these athletes make I feel bad for the little ones missing trick or treating! That magic only lasts for so long...
So my question is (and I get senior teams might be different), does your gym change practice schedule for Halloween and if they don't and your child had practice would you let him or her miss practice and accept the consequences? Would love to hear any coaches point of view too if you have one. Thanks.
