on joining Parkettes Gymnastics

A parent new to Parkettes has some good feedback:

… I’ve watched the level 10’s and elites practice and there is no yelling or berating that I at least have witnessed. It is a good place and as a parent I will always keep my eyes open, but that goes for any gym. I just wanted to go on record with positive news from Parkettes, since they’ve suffered enough bad press. Bad press is only hurtful to the gymnasts that train at the gym being criticized.

So, bottom line, Parkettes has been a good thing for my daughter. She is flourishing there and has had very good experiences with the coaching staff there. …

No program in North America has had as much bad P.R. as Parkettes. Nice to hear the other side of the story.

I doubt Jennifer Sey will be attending their 40th anniversary reunion.
