Had my daughter try her first class tonight and let me tell you I’m very disappointed. The manager walked up accusing me of taking pictures and looking at me like I’m lying. Like I get it I am a young mom but I’m not oblivious I saw the sign and wasn’t taking any pictures I would have loved to but I respect rules. Also 2 instructors for a group of that many 4-5 year olds is a bit ridiculous. The one who was actually paying attention and teaching the kids was great and very informative but the other seemed like she didn’t care. Definitely won’t be signing my daughter up because that was a ridiculous 45 minutes.

After attending 3 competitions for level 1 gymnasts, representing Sokol has been a big embarrassment. We have realized how under trained and ill prepared our girls are.

Currently sitting at a competition watching 6 and 7 year olds lead themselves in a warm up. This is mind blowing. Our girls, ranging from anywhere from 8 – 12 have no leader. We look completely unorganized. As the other teams warmed up on the mat, switching their warm up movenent after every round our girls just kept running in a circle about 3 times before they decided to change the movement. The coaches are too busy with the paperwork they had no clue what our girls were doing.

Like every one else has said. This is a money hungry organization. They don´t care about the development of their gymnasts.

Communication is the worst. We had to look up other local organizations to find the competition schedule online. If you don´t go in and snap a picture of the handwritten note with competition details, you´re pretty much screwed. If you call and ask for details, the owner Pauline, freaks out and will take your phone number so she can text you an image of the competition notes.
Thanks for that.

I don´t understand why Sokol enters older aged gymnasts into level 1 competitions when the competition is roughly between 5 and 9. Check out the video I posted. This is level 1A with Sokol girls on the left (the tallest girls in the room) competing with the littles. Granted this is the first time I´ve seen Sokol have littles competing as well.

Ultimately, what this says to me is- everyone who enters gymnastics no matter what age will start at the very basic level. Twelve year old will compete with 5 year olds. This doesn´t seem right to me. I can only conclude that is a another way for the gym to make more money. The more classes you take to advance, the more money for the gym.
