I believe that this can be done with a formula query.  But the syntax for those is tricky especially without access to the app.  I can help debug if you take a shot at it or else it may need a shorty one on one session to get it working.

      The goal of the formula query will be to it extract a text list of all of the dates for that same coach and child combination where the date was before the date on the record.
