I am having some major issues with my CP's coach (our team is very small and he is the only staff, rents space from a gymnastics gym for practices) regarding:
Charging us $350 for uniforms and then he ordered uniforms that cost about $40. In addition, he collected the money in July/August and did not give us our uniforms until March with no explanation about what happened to the rest of the money.
Constant cancellation of competitions (we didn't even compete until February even though we started practicing in May)
Moving 4 athletes to a Senior team that are underage (including my daughter who turned 10 in September and three who are 8/9)
Charged us for music and never ordered it.
There are many other issues including time management, lack of communication, angry/aggressive outbursts and gossiping about parents and athletes, but I am most concerned with the money issue and the age violation. If we even ask him about any of these issues, he gets very angry and defensive. He has created a climate where everyone is too intimidated to express concern or ask questions.
We are strongly considering leaving as we can no longer trust this coach and do not want to continue throwing our money away. Just looking for some perspective from other cheer parents.
