Gymnastics Coaches face unique challenges: Juggling private lessons against the gym's open-floor team hours so two coaches aren't spotting the same vault station. Parents who book a private then no-show because the kid had a meet, leaving a paid spotting hour empty. Tracking which gymnast is cleared for which skill progression so nobody is thrown a back handspring before the drill work is done. Collecting meet entry fees and leo costs from a dozen families on separate timelines without chasing texts. On top of all that, Square charges $29/month ($348/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median Gymnastics Coach earns $40,000/year. Software at $348/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

I get to the gym before the team session and re-set the floor: drag the wedge mats to the tumbling strip, top off the chalk bucket, and pull the resi pit cover. First hour is preschool tumbling, all forward rolls and donkey kicks, so I spend it spotting on my knees. Then a private with a Level 4 who's stuck on her kip; we work cast drills on the strap bar until her shoulders give out. Mid-day I rotate the team through events, and I'm constantly watching the clock because the beam squad needs the soft beam before the older girls take it for full routines. A kid lands a vault short and I'm already moving to check her wrist before she's off the mat. Between rotations I'm scribbling skill clearances on a clipboard nobody can read later. After practice three parents corner me about meet schedules, leo orders, and whether their daughter is moving up a level. I leave covered in chalk, with a phone full of booking texts I haven't answered and a vague memory of who owes me for last month's privates.
