I think that's why I've changed my stance. I've seen so much of this "you can be replaced at any moment" mentality, I just don't get why it's all up to the gym. This rule needs to go both ways. I'd say over the 2-3 years we've had it, many gyms have clearly demonstrated that it isn't working the way it is written. I like the spirit of the rule - but it needs to apply to both sides. If you want to leave your gym, you need a release. If you want to replace me with another athlete, I need to sign something saying I'm releasing my spot. Add a disclaimer that if kid quits the gym or has a season ending injury, that's considered releasing their spot.
Gym owners are really overstepping their boundaries these days - you don't own these kids. For the millionth time...we are paying you, not vice versa.
Gym owners/coaches: If you want a kid to stay, stop screaming in their faces that they can be replaced in minutes. And if you do feel that way... WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL IF THEY LEAVE? You just said you could replace any one of them with the throngs of kids waiting to take their place. So.... do it.
