California gymnasts and coaches locked out

How would you feel if this happened to you?

Without warning, a popular Riverside gymnastics and cheerleading club has gone out of business, leaving parents stunned and coaches waiting for their latest paychecks Monday.

A letter taped to the mostly empty and shuttered club’s front door was the only notice given about the closure of Mission Hills Gymnastics, 7330 Sycamore Canyon Blvd. Parents and coaches said the company had been doing business for six years in Riverside.

“Due to a sudden and unforeseen meltdown with our business partners we have been forced to close,” read the unsigned letter. “This has been very difficult for our family to comprehend but unfortunately we had no other conclusion.” …

“I don’t have a job and I don’t have money,” said Rafael Aliyev, a cheer and artistic gymnastics coach from Kazakhstan. “I lost everything.”
