I could not believe the things that I read on the web page for this business. My daughter was doing rec classes w Brenda and it was awful, she would be so rude. The girl that got her to go there dad worked with me and they were friends, she came home crying on night saying her friend had quit! I was shocked she was on team and was doing really well all the girls liked her, and many of them would spend the night at her house. I talked to the dad and he showed me the email 2 weeks before the competitive season started they kicked the 10 year old girl out. Not because of anything she did but because her grandma may have said she did not understand what the coach was doing. Really why would they punish the kid. I have done some research and a USAG investigation has found they violate the rules, and the J,O program is currently investigating them. Needless to say I pulled my daughter out and she is at a gym she is happy at.
I CAN NOT BELIEVE THEY WOULD PUNISH A LITTLE GIRL BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THEY THINK THE GRANDMA MAY HAVE SAID!!! She is not the guardian and was just in town visiting. WOW. I tried to talk to both Jessie and Meagan about it, they just said mind your own business and said they can make it so my daughter was gone as well. What a great place to teach your kids, or have them grow as a person.
I have seen the email kicking her out, it's sad. The most ironic part about it just to show how fake the coaches are Meagan got up at the gym party and started crying while she gave this little girl the "spirit of Wings" award! I have seen the video and she was crying and saying what a great girl the little girl is. How much they enjoyed coaching her, and what a great teammate she was. Then less then a month later they kick her out because of something the Grandma might of said.
I would say it is a safe bet freedom of speech is dead, and the coaches care nothing about the kids. The one positive I will say is many of the girls are still friends with the little girl. They all know the coaches are a bunch of liars and fakes because we have all seen the email, Brenda made a huge point of announcing to all the kids the little girl quit, they were shocked when they found out she was kicked out. Now they do not trust Meagan,Jessie,or Brenda.
I made contact with the USAG myself to try and figure out how they could do this, I was told that Ann the owner, and Meagan's mother has been sanctioned several times. However, since she provides all the equipment for most of the local meets, including state and regionals. She was too important of a person in Boise to upset. I can provide proof of what I say, and the local news is getting ready to run a story on it.
If you want to send your child to a place where the coaches will lie to them, don't care about them, and you and your family will be monitored, and not allowed to ask a question, or heaven for bid your 76 year old mother ask another parent why they are doing something this is the place for you. If you want to go someplace that your child is treated with respect, and they get good coaching, have fun, and don't get lied to then please go someplace else.
There are plenty of gyms in the treasure valley that are safer cleaner and gunner for rec, and just as many that are better, and safer, and have coaches that will be honest. Don't let these people have your child be the reason for the next USAG investigation. read more
