My daughter was part of Moon Gymnastics for 6 years through graduation. Amy and Nicky were fair dedicated coaches and gave everyone equal support and opportunity to succeed including the team as a whole. When my daughter did not meet the requirements to compete, she did not compete. And she nor I would have wanted her to not only for the team but also for her own health and safety.

I’m a parent of with two daughters that were in the program from preschool through high school. It is an excellent program with wonderful coaches and staff. This whole thing is absurd. Maybe you should look into the root of the problem. The new board member. Amy and Nickie run a tight shop which is why the program is so successful.

Everyone needs to follow the rules. Amy Caprino has done so much for the Moon Gymnastics program. You should be ashamed of yourself. You and your daughter are spoiled brats

I am signing this to support the gymnastics association. It’s a great program

I’ve coached Baseball and Basketball in Moon school and watched how professional Amy and her coaches were while working with the girls and also working with the other sports coaches in scheduling and practices. It would be a crime to let her go!!!

I can't write on here what I want to call this lady who's trying to bring down the program . Thank you Amy for coaching my daughter from start to finish in the gymnastics program. And for the great memories we had! I now am blessed to have a granddaughter in the same sport who loves it! Shame on the one person who wants to tear apart a long lasting great gymnastics sport program

Moon Gymnastics is one of the best athletic programs in Moon that has built its foundation on hard-work and fairness. Changing anything about the program would be a disservice to the township and the gymnasts.

I know this is a great program

These young athletes and their coaches deserve better treatment. Politics has no place in athletics

Amy Caprino is a legend in Moon Gymnastics. She and her daughter Nikki run an exceptional program for moon school district. As a gymnastics coach myself, I admire and respect Amy and all she has given to moon gymnastics.

Becky Divito (Imperial, 2023-08-17)

I participated in Moon Gymnastics from 7th-12th grade and Amy was a major part of what made the program so great. She taught in a way that kept the love for gymnastics alive vs pushing kids to hate the sport to achieve. I will always support her as long as she is in charge of this program.

Michelle Tejchman (Coraopolis, 2023-08-17)

The children that I know in this program LOVE this program and their coaches. Do not punish the coaches who have been outstanding years past.

Alysa Sakson (Moon Township, 2023-08-17)

I support Moons Gymnastic program and what the parents and students want. If they feel it is not broken, then don’t fix it.

Amy was a great coach when I was there. Another former gymnast and I were just talking about her the other day, and we’re in our 30s. The impact a great coach makes is unforgettable. She’s always been honest and fair.

I have been a part of moon gymnastics throughout middle and high school. Amy and Nickie Caprino have done so much for the program and for the people apart of the program. They have taught me so much more than only gymnastics, and have taught me how to overall be a better person. The organization they have created is special to so many people, and it was the best organization I was a part of in my middle and high school years.

Katie Kopay (Moon Township, 2023-08-17)

I've heard first hand how Moon gymnastics has changed lives.

Laura Richardson (Lancaster, 2023-08-17)

#468

It breaks my heart to see how cruel people can be. Nick Price has been nothing but an amazing coach, judge, and friend to everyone involved in this program. I can’t thank Nickie and Amy enough for everything that they have done for me and my teammates over the years. Moon Gymnastics is nothing without the Caprino’s.

Katie Shields (Moon Township, 2023-08-17)

My daughter Nicole was on the Moon youth team and Middle School team, 1988 - 1997. Amy and all of the coaches were professional and excellent coaches. I have nothing but great things to say about the program. It is a shame that this is happening

Patty Shipley (Moon Twp, 2023-08-17)

I’m signing because we support Amy, Nick and all the other coaches. We love this program and are so happy to be apart of it

My daughter was a member of the competitive team for Moon from 2nd grade-12th grade . She also worked as a coach during college and on and off afterwards . So obviously I know many of the coaches and I know what rules they need to enforce in order to be part of the team . And for those of us whose child made the team, we accepted this . Gymnastics is one sport where it doesn’t matter who you know , who your child is , or who the parent is , rules are rules . The great thing about gymnastics is that you are scored on your own ability and nothing else when you compete .It’s sad to see someone try to hurt/target a program and the people who work for it that’s been around for so long because they couldn’t get their way.

I have known Amy for many years as a friend and coach to my daughter. My daughter also now works for Amy . Amy runs her program with truth honesty and with the good of the kids and the program in mind and heart. No wonder she’s been doing for it so many many years. Just watch the yearly gym show, It’s very successful. One negative voice should not squelch years of devotion and success.

Laura Engel (Sewickley, 2023-08-17)

I’m signing this because I believe nick price should coach, train, and build with moon gymnastics.

I was a part of the amazing gymnastics program run by Amy Caprino in the late 90s.
I also support good people, regardless of the choices they make in their personal life. I support those that make a positive impact on others and can show my kids how to embrace their differences, not hide them.

No school board member has the right to abuse their position of power to benefit their own children. Policies exist for a reason, the constituents are expecting School Boatd Members to uphold them.

I am a Moon Alumni former student athlete and I unfortunately see this kind of stuff happen more than I would like

Amy Caprino has dedicated the better part of her life to Moon gymnastics. She has fought long and hard to keep the sport of gymnastics not only alive at Moon High School but also across Western Pennsylvania. This love and dedication to the sport, her team, and the whole program were recognized w her recent induction into the WPIAL Hall Of Fame. It has been her mission to run and participate in a fun FAIR, and EQUITABLE sport during the tenure of her career. She has exhibited this not only w her fair and transparent rules that she holds every athlete accountable for but also her year in and year out involvement in rules for the WPIAL, the State, and all of High school gymnastics across the country.

These rules that she implements are a part of the culture she has built over 40 plus years at Moon helping to cultivate amazing young women that have learned such things as responsibility, commitment, honesty, integrity, and so many more traits that more human beings should hold dear. Especially taught to so many young women.

It would be a shame to allow 1 person w such little time in her position to have any impact on such an amazing career, of not only success in the sport, but success in cultivating good people.

Such a travesty! Wanting revenge because your daughter doesn’t make the cut. Ms. Barr needs to be the person held accountable for these selfish acts.
KEEP STRONG MOON

My daughter was involved in the Moon Gymnastics program for many years and benefited so much from the program and coaching staff. Amy Caprino is a great coach and cares so much for the kids involved in the program

I didn’t go to Moon but my best friend did and I always knew how great the moon gymnastics team was! My high school - keystone oaks didn’t even have one!

Carlee Farrier (Pittsburgh, 2023-08-17)

My daughter participates in this awesome program. It is such a positive part of our child’s community and should not be taken away.

Teresa Zimmerman (Moon, 2023-08-17)

I don’t agree with Ms. Barr’s irresponsible and immature actions. She is clearly in the wrong and trying to blame others for her mistakes.

Corey Jones (Charleston, 2023-08-17)

I am signing in support of Amy and Nick and keeping them in charge of Moons amazing gymnastics program.

Danielle Michelangelo (Moon Township, 2023-08-17)

#552

Anyone in a position of power within the school board should not be allowed to bend the rules for their own personal benefit (or child’s). Entitlement and discrimination and bigotry needs to be stopped and allow organizations to run by actual professionals. Not sure how this “Trump insurrection” organizer, aka “Trump train lady” got elected in the first place, but I’m sure it was the shady underhanded deals made pre-election. Remove her now.

Maren Breen (Coraopolis, 2023-08-17)

I have been through many sports programs at Moon and have played in D1 and professional sports teams. These are great coaches that have made an impact on lives that is unmeasurable. Every person I know that has been coached under these coaches have only had positive experiences. These coaches deserve to be in the roles they currently hold.

Bill Ashburn (Nashville, 2023-08-17)

if this happened to my sister’s head coach i would be upset too

Jada Sinclair (jefferson hills, 2023-08-17)

#572

This is sad one person who can't make the commitment to compete, is possibly bringing down a coach and the whole program. Ms. Barr if your daughter is worth all this fight take her to another program.

Nicole Walker (Pasadena, 2023-08-17)

#573

I am signing because I have friends who live in the Moon School District and their kids love the gymastics program! My daughter has become friends with a lot of the mom. Gymnasts even though she competes against them every season. I work a lot of the gymnastics events and have loved watching moons coaching staff and what the girls learn from them. It would be a shame to let go of such wonderful coaches because of lies and someone trying thinking their child is above the rules and everyone else. This is heart breaking to read!

Beth Anders (Beaver, 2023-08-17)

This is not completely unfair and disrespectful. No one is above the law.

Taylor Zimmerman (McKees Rocks, 2023-08-17)

#586

Moon gymnastics has won multiple championships for years under this head coach. No need for a change in leadership due to the excellent coaching and staff of the gymnastics team. One person shouldn’t be able to ruin a good thing for hundreds.

Cody Quinn (Crescent Twp, 2023-08-17)

#587

My daughter, Lindsay was fortunate to be apart of Moon gymnastics in her youth. This was a team building sport that had the girls; and an occasional guy, helping each other to be a better gymnast through support and encouragement. Coach Amy was fair to
ALL the participants but you had to follow the rules. There is a reason for those rules and requirements. Read them, abide by them and you'll be prepared for what is expected in your future as a good citizen.

Patricia Kosuth (Barberton, 2023-08-17)

#589

My daughter has been a part of the Moon Gymnastics since she was very young. The coaches have always been supportive and professional. It's been a great team/family to be part of.

It's not right to use your position of power for your own personal gain.

Jamie Kastroll (Wheeling, 2023-08-17)

#594

This is a absolutely insane especially when both Amy and Nick have been wonderful coaches for all of these years!!!!!! Maybe your daughter should have followed the attendance protocol or chose one over the other as you can’t be in two gym places at once. Insert eye roll here.

Gina Guatteri (Beaver, 2023-08-17)

#595

My daughter was in the program in the late 90’s as an elementary student. Loved Amy and her staff.

Evelyn Kurianowicz (Moon Twp, 2023-08-17)

Nick is one of the best coaches at Moon gymnastics. He has been dedicated to the program both as a gymnast and coach, as well as an official at meets.

Denise Haught (Moon, 2023-08-17)

My daughter participated in the Moon Gymnastics program for many years. She learned the lessons of commitment and personal responsibility. In Particular, Coach Nick was extremely kind to her during an injury. My daughter is a better person for being a part of this team and I am distressed by any effort to dismantle this organization.
