[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t the answer to end the support of the competitive team and devote all the resources to using the space for a broad-based rec or an adaptive program?  Some minor adjustments to existing space and lower the level of instructor needed for a bunch of classes.  Pretty much turn it into an amped up JW Tumbles.  And then kids who want to continue at a higher level have to funnel to the private sector which is how all other youth sports work.

I have a feeling the most active protesters of this cut are parents of kids on this team so no one is doing to advocate for that.  But if it was really about saving this community space and benefiting kids, that seems like the path.

I saw the comment all the “real” coaches would then quit.  But then subsequently they apparently cost a lot and are taking breaks that are too long.

What do you mean breaks that are too long?

Apparently coaches used to be scheduled for more classes per day. So they might teach like six classes per day and now they're being asked to teach like three classes per day with an hour between each class.

There are also longer breaks between rec sessions, so fewer classes are being offered overall[/quote]
