Our experience with the coaching staff with whom we interacted was very positive. The environment fostered by the coaches was encouraging and positive and my daughter made a lot of strides during her months at the gym in the tumbling class. However, my review is not great because of the gym´s response after my daughter had a scary fall during practice. (This was the 3rd fall out of a tumbling pass in 2 sessions, and by far the most scary.) The coach made an incident report and, I felt, took all the appropriate steps at the time of the fall, but afterwards, I heard nothing from the gym. I emailed twice to request a meeting outside of practice times (so as not to disrupt the other athletes), but heard nothing. Eventually, my husband and I showed up during our daughter´s normal practice time, and our coach was very willing to talk with us, but the gym showed no support to either her or us by showing up or communicating at all. Lesson learning from failures is a huge part of keeping people safe across all industries, it should be present in children´s athletics, for coaches and students, and we saw no evidence of a standard procedure following a safety incident. If no assessment is made, how can there be an environment where that same mistake won´t happen again? We are thankful that our daughter was ultimately ok, but the injury and the fall could have been quite severe. While we understand the risks we are taking by putting our daughter in tumbling, we feel as though a gym should be proactive after falls, not silent. I seriously hope that this is a “one-off” for this gym, and am not claiming this is how they behave after every safety event, but this was our experience. As of this writing, the fall occurred 2 weeks ago, and we have yet to hear any response from the gym.

Pinnacle athletics has been an amazing adventure for my 6 year old. Going on our 3rd year now and she has progressed in so many ways. I am so grateful to be apart of this cheer family! All the coaches and staff are amazing!
