gymnastics video/photo privacy
When you post photos and videos of gymnasts online, with permission, consider editing your privacy settings to restrict comments.
Here’s an example of how that’s done on flickr.com.
It’s even more important if you post gymnastics videos online.
The biggest problem … idiots making stupid comments.

gymnastics club parking
To protect the guilty, I shouldn’t mention the club (Taiso) or the coach (Markos) who reserves the very best parking spot at the gym for himself.
When I was the BOSS of this gym I reserved all the good parking for customers.
And made staff, including myself, park away down the street.
What’s the policy at your gym?

We have been always been told to park as far away as possible from the main entrance! It’s just good customer service. A sign like that would be a turnoff to me as a paying customer!
