Classes

​

    •    Upon arrival your child needs to place all their items in a cubby located in the lobby.

    •    Please encourage the younger children to use the restrooms prior to class so they are not loosing valuable class time using the bathrooms.

    •    Each class begins with warm-ups. This is a very important part of gymnastics to assure that your child’s body is properly warmed-up to prevent injury. Therefore, be sure to arrive a few minutes early so your child does not miss warm-ups.

    •    Please allow our instructors to instruct the class and your child; there is a progressive curriculum and skills for each level. Do not try to talk to your child during class. It is important for them to keep their focus and attention on the class goals.

    •    Expect repetition of various skills.

    •    No gum, candy, food or drinks are permitted on the gym floor

    

 

Apparel

​

    •    Make sure your child is dressed properly for class. (e.g. Shorts, t-shirts, warm-up pants or leotards). Your child needs to be able to move their arms and legs freely. Leotards are not required, but we do have them available to purchase.

    •    Children’s hair should always be pulled securely away from their face.

    •    For your child’s safety, please remove all jewelry. (Stud earrings are allowed)

Make-up Policy   

​

    •  If you know that your child will be absent from class, please call us ahead of time. If your child is sick, please call the office at your earliest convenience. We are then able to leave a note for the instructor letting them know they will be missing. Advance notice helps us to provide make-up classes to other students when a space becomes available and we are notified in advance that a space will open up.

​

    •    Make-ups are allowed when the requested class size permits.

    •    You must pre-register for make-up classes through the office.

    •    Make-up classes do not transfer to future months.
