I worked here for 7 months and ended up leaving following 3 other coaches in that short time this business has been open. I will be brutally honest as to what my experiences were and what to ask the program manager or office manager before signing your child up. Firstly, the facility is well suited for athletes pursuing TNT obviously, but if a child is looking into doing some upgrades over a round off back handspring it will be a constant struggle. Unless your child is really small they only have one coach competent enough to spot or has the know how to implement equipment safely for support. Second, ask to see the lesson plans for the month and question what areas of the gym will be used and on what equipment. This is important because a structured plan and organized instructor means more repetitions and quality instruction for your athlete. Also, ask them if they have a plan in place consisting of short and long term goals or achievements in place for your athlete and exactly how will they ensure that your athlete progresses. If the instructor lacks goals for your child then what do you expect from your athlete. A good way to monitor this is to count the amount of quality repetitions your child gets in versus down time standing around or not being supervised for quality and safety. Quality is essentially priority when training fundamentals such as cartwheels, handstands, and handspring/limber skills whereas quantity takes more precedence with basic motor skills like running, hurdling, and certain balancing drills. Watch the class and ask yourself what is the coach prioritizing and is the coach using busy work or is there a method in play to better your child in gymnastics. Your child should not be standing still longer than 30 seconds and in many situations like basic stretch, warm up, and line drills the coach should always be moving making corrections and interacting with their students. Lastly, I know it sounds like I'm trying to bring Hangtime down with this but I'm not. It's quite the opposite actually, I want them to see this and make the necessary changes. With 4 coaches fired within half a year points a finger right at management... and yes there is room for improvement in this area for sure. In the 7 months I worked here as training director I wasn't given any real managerial control, just a title. The whole time I worked there I can count on one hand how many times staff showed up for training when it was made mandatory for every staff member weekly. I wrote articles, used diagrams and even made videos to help train the staff and it was mostly all tossed to the side. Frustrating doesn't even come close to describe working in an environment as a "director" in that type of culture. If the coaches are not willing to learn, no, if the coaches aren't nagging the training director daily for more knowledge what does that say about the people teaching your child? Again, I'm not intending to bash Hangtime, I'm only challenging them to raise the standards. Keep in mind I'm only speaking from my experience at this particular gym, I'm sure that many of these issues are present in other gyms which is really sad to be honest. I only bring this up because I was hired solely to address this and never really was successful, hopefully that changes with current staff or someone new and willing is brought in. There are good people at Hangtime and there is great potential to become a forerunner in the sport for Acadiana but these issues must be addressed.
