We were with a child, 7 years old, at a trial session at 62 Prytytsky Street.
It's hard to call this training even just physical education.
The lesson began with a symbolic warm-up, after which the children (and beginners too) immediately began to perform the handstand element upside down near the wall.
The coach didn't support me, but just sat across from me. Then they began to take turns running the wheel on their hands. Whoever does it for the first time or does not know how, then he does it as he knows how. It's the same with the element - a somersault from a run across the bridge to the mat. If it didn't work out, they just jumped on the mat. It turned out to do a somersault - OK. But they didn't even show the new ones how to do it right, they didn't work out.
There were about 10 people in the group, and very few elements were completed. In the end, the children took turns jumping on trampolines, that's all the symbolic gymnastics, which has nothing to do with a real professional and responsible approach to this sport.
We did not find any advantages. But you can write a whole poem about the cons. If you have a small child and you plan to take him there, think about it three times and abandon this idea.
Today, a child (2.2 years old) was taken to a trial session, and the question of the qualifications of "trainers" remained as open as possible for me personally.
A child comes to an already established team, the child is small, and no one has ever approached the child, met him, or tried to attract him in any way.
Proper zoning is completely not their forte. Children (small ones) are engaged at the same time with older children, in the same hall, literally a meter from each other. (A pedagogical question concerning the retention of attention of such young children is already relevant here.)
Bottom line: no one came up to us, the child just came to watch and run, and eventually they left with a global tantrum, because it was interesting for the child to watch adult children, whom you would not go to study with. What did the coach do?
Nothing.
Not a single coach did anything, but there were three of them there.
Fortunately, this attraction was free. Otherwise, they would have taken the complaint book.
