At the gymnastics center, there is a diverse range of ages and skill levels training together. While we monitor our child during meets and practices to ensure her enjoyment and the suitability of the environment, I also observe the other groups, from young 5-year-olds to older high school students. By broadening my focus beyond my daughter, I gain insight into the organization's overall philosophy and atmosphere. I encourage all parents to observe not only their own child but also the coaches, players, and other parents to gauge the organization's overall atmosphere. It is important to feel at ease throughout the entire organization.
