The coaches are volunteers and the way they talk to the children is very disrespectful. Coach Margaret thought it was appropriate to tell my daughter she is fat and needs to loose weight. After speaking with the chair of governors David he was not sympathetic and allowed Margaret to continue training without further investigation. Margaret finds nothing wrong with her approach and the chairman David supports this. Margaret then refused for both her and my daughters main coach to train her and gave my daughter her fees back. My daughter got angry and upset and Margaret stepped towards my daughter in anger and wanted to hit my daughter. Kelvin the other coach intervened and my daughter left. Since this incident the chairman David has made no contact to me to apologise for the behavior of Margaret or anything. This is a serious incident and needs to be safe garden. Margaret is not fit to teach children and the club support her actions. There are other children that attend this club who have similar situations with Margaret but do not speak out due to being afraid of this happening to them. PARENTS PLEASE SPEAK TO YOUR CHILDREN. we as parents pay a fee for our children to be taught not abused
