In return I would bring a board full of mostly 5x7 Silver prints to every week thinking the girls would be thrilled to see themselves and the parents horrified to see exactly how dangerous some of these routines could be. Instead the girls would immediately critique their performance. "Just look how your toes are pointed." Or, "You need more height not distance." Wow, the photos were coaching tools. The boards were left in the halls and entryway to the gymnasium and when home meets and regional competitions were held, I actually thing it helped psych out competitors by seeing what they were up against.
