I am writing to document an incident that occurred on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, at TumbleHQ LLC,…read moreduring my 11-year-old daughter's gymnastics/cheer tumbling class.
My daughter, D., was enrolled in the 6:00 p.m. "PRO" group class that evening. During practice, the students were working on round-off rebounds. While performing this skill, my daughter's feet slipped off the AirTrack, and she landed sideways near where Coach Victor M., the owner, was conducting a private lesson.
At that point, Coach Victor stopped his private lesson, approached my daughter, and forcefully yanked her hair while attempting to demonstrate what she had done incorrectly. He did this in front of others, creating an unnecessary scene that left my daughter humiliated, frightened, and embarrassed. One would think that, as a middle school teacher at Delay Middle School in Lewisville, TX, Victor Muñoz would have more experience in handling children with patience and professionalism.
Coach Victor runs the girls like cattle in a very confined space. Multiple classes, often 2-3 classes are held simultaneously while he also conducts private lessons. The gym simply isn't large enough to safely accommodate that many athletes at once. When space is limited and the business is stretched beyond capacity, mistakes are bound to happen, and students can easily land on the wrong equipment or in unsafe areas.
My daughter is 11 years old and in 6th grade. She participates in middle school cheerleading purely for recreation. We are not pursuing competitive or collegiate-level training. We enrolled her at TumbleHQ simply to help her build confidence, coordination, and basic skills in a safe, encouraging environment.
The owner's actions were inappropriate, unprofessional, and unacceptable, especially when directed toward a child. No parent expects their child to be treated in such a physical or demeaning way by a coach.
