Ok first things first, it annoys the crap out of me that no one seems to have any LOYALTY to their gym anymore. Why is the first line of defense for any issue in the gym is to SWITCH GYMS? Really? People always think the grass is greener on the other side, until you get there and realize it was just spray paint. Unless there's hostility in the gym, be loyal and stick it out. Every gym goes through rough patches.
Now onto the question at hand. I honestly believe that any coach, be it a 1st year coach or a seasoned vet, will be taken back by a parent telling me "You're not maxing out the score sheet". Because in essence, you're telling me that I am not doing my job, without actually saying, you're not doing your job. However, there are ways that this can be addressed. If this is an allstar team, bring your concerns up with your chain of command. Not necessarily saying the CEO needs to be in on this little situation, but maybe start with your team mom, and let them bring the concern up to the coach. Perhaps, that will result in a parent meeting, which can result in the CEO giving his/her views on the situation. No one wants to feel bombarded, so personally, I would take it better from a group of concerned parents as opposed to "Suzie's" Mom telling me how to do my job. And I totally agree that maybe the coach may not know the best avenue to add difficulty in the routine. But like my coaches told me, CLEAN beats DIFFICULTY any day. Why do a kick full basket when it looks like a the flyer is have a conniption in mid air? Stick to what your girls can hit. And afterall, it shouldn't be about placement. Whether we come in 1st, 12th or 103rd, as long as my little ones hit their routine, I'm happy.
