We took our 3 year old grandson for a trial gymnastics/tumbling class at AcroTex in Georgetown, Tx. We were sadly disappointed at the approach that the owner, Coach Jerry, took with a group of 3 year olds! Since he IS the owner, you would think that he especially has an interest in looking at the list to see first, if there are any new students in order to get their name right, as well as to be prepared to briefly tell the new kid a little of what to expect. Instead, he called our grandson by the wrong name the entire hour, then was obviously annoyed when our grandson did not respond when called by some other name! In addition, the coach went right into warming up for pikes, etc., and again seemed annoyed that our grandson didn't have a clue of what to do! He also had no concept regarding how to retain the attention of this age group. Coach Jerry expected EVERYONE to stand and watch while he tried to lead one child through a course requiring SIX different positions. Instead of watching, every kid was squirming around and/or completely not paying attention. During the class, at some point most every kid walked off to "go potty". When our grandson did the same, however, when he returned he was scolded for not telling the coach that he was leaving to potty, and threatened to be placed in "time out" if he did again! (He threatened to place him in time-out 3 times throughout the hour class) By the way, not A SINGLE other kid announced that they were leaving to go potty! This type of information could've been included in the things he should've mentioned to any new kid when explaining a little of what to expect. This coach MIGHT be great with the older students, since he did seem to know a thing or two about gymnastics, but he has a lot to learn where dealing with 3 year olds is involved. Although not too much, he still somewhat "manhandled" our 3 year old when trying to make him do the correct position on various things. (I have VIDEO that confirms that I'm not exaggerating!) Needless to say, we will NOT be taking our grandson back to this place and instead look for other options in the Georgetown area! read more
