That's very true which is another reason I dont think tumbling should be restrictive. A different coaching style/ perspective can be very productive
So I should not direct a question or statement directly to the person I am referring/talking to? Or at least not by name? I'm not sure what the proper way to do things on this board are . My nature is to rather direct, please let me know if I need to reword.. Thanks:)As several have posted there are other gyms who have a similar policy as in the OP. We are losing the true topic behind a gym name, which tends to happen on many controversial topics, especially when you stray too far from the original post. IMHO that becomes we (for better or worse) like to talk about someone we can identify instead of gyms, programs, or people that won't be named. If we eliminate the gym name from the discussion and there is no reason for the thread to be locked.
The majority on the thread don't like the policy. JMO but the majority of programs who use such policies are not or do not post on the FB.
Another email is out, not regarding this topic.. But a new one. Thinking about the benefits & cons of posting it.. As again, it could spark off another great conversation. Standby.

I think another point to this issue is that lets say my CP wants to throw a layout, but she doesnt have a tuck. In our gym you learn one skill then the next, the coaches there know my kid and know what she can and cannot do. So lets say she gos to another gym and says I am here to work layouts and then gets hurt because she wasnt ready. I think that is the point of the rule. If there is a real need for distance that you need to tumble elsewhere I am sure the gym would take that into consideration, once talking to the coach/owner. The bottom line is they care about the safety of the child,and they know the difference between the mom thats wants CP to have a skill from a child that wants a skill....There is a difference.
I agree...and at the end of the day...if you have policies or rules that you are ashamed of or do not want debated....DONT have them...in this day of the internet and tweet,fb etc....EVERYTHING is out there for discussion and debate! No one set out to "bash" anyone....the topic was thrown out...all the players have stayed on point based on replies....IMO...thats how this board goes....besides...it has been really fun...:) We ALL know that at times..the Board is not for the squeemish...hee heeI've been following (and posting) on this thread since it started and I have been really intrigued and enlightened. @meanj called out the gym and their unprofessionalism. It has since been confirmed via this thread when cheermama resurrected it to call out meanj on calling them out. Could he have started the thread without the email to back up what he was saying? Sure. But in my short time on fb no one takes speculation or hearsay seriously. Back up your facts and you've got a fierce debate.
And if you dislike being at the center of that debate, don't resurrect the thread and throw fuel on the fire--instead, listen to the criticism and try to learn from it or participate in the conversation and give a thoughtful reply.
I think it was talked about earlier in the thread, that when you send out an email that says " I am sending this to everyone, I have nothing to hide" or this is going out to the whole *****nation ;) You dont really have an out. who is everyone? Who is the "nation" As ex Sen. Weiner found out, if you don't want it out there.. don't put it out there ... no pun intended :rolleyes:just curious...have they ever sent an email out that gives consequences for forwarding (not posting - that is a separate issue) their emails???
