[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rising 1st grader is on a preteam at gymnastics and she loves it but isn’t always the best behaved. Doing cartwheels when she isn’t supposed to, getting on the trampoline, tickling other girls etc. Coach has had several conversation with her, had her sit out, and if so extra conditioning. Friday after practice she told me that she wants her to write “I will not good off at practice” 10 times at being it to the next practice because she just doesn’t seem to be taking the other reprimands seriously and the other girls on her team are not having this issue. I was kind of shocked by the request to make a 6yr old write lines for just silly behavior. My daughter absolutely loves the class and doesn’t not want to quit so I guess we will do the lines, but I feel this is really outdated and not going to be very effective. [/quote]Potential to injure/concuss other children isn't "just silly".  You need to get wiggles out by having an adult tickle fight with her and then telling  her you are the only one she can tickle and only in your house's bed.  Then have her do 200 jumps on your home trampoline/garage sale mattress.  Then 30 cartwheels.  Then have her run laps until her heart rate elevates.  Warn her that the coach is being extra generous, but one more screw up and you'll lose the money and will get removed from the lessons.  Tell her for good reason because she is a DANGER to the other students.  Only after fatigue and wiggles out and focus on, should you take her to practice.  Also fix YOUR attitude OP and consider magnesium supplements for DD.

No, the coach is not outdated, but rather EXTREMELY patient and lenient as she would have gotten kicked out of many teams/squads by now.  -Coached first-grade cheer w/stunts.[/quote]
