So, my CP has never cheered somewhere that has closed practices and I have always stayed for her practices. Now, the gym she will be cheering at this season has closed practices and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I understand the reasons they do this, and more likely than not for this particular gym it is probably more of a space issue than anything else (no room to really have a parent area that is not right in the gym), but I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with this. My CP is only 8 and this is a new gym where I do not know the coaching staff very well yet. My child's safety is my primary concern and I just don't know how I feel about leaving my child with adults and older teenagers (they help with practices for the younger ones) that I don't really know.
Am I being too overbearring? How would you as parents handle this situation? I mean, there aren't really any other gyms in our area for us to go to, and we are happy with the gym's program but their policy is closed practices.
