  • Students may not be on equipment before or after classes.
  • Students may only enter the gym when instructor calls them in.
  • Gymnasts are expected to follow basic rules and directions from instructor. If students are having difficulty following instructions they will be asked to sit out for one turn.  If the behavior continues, students will be asked to sit out for the remainder of class.  If your child continues to have difficulty with discipline, following directions and/or having appropriate behavior in a group setting, please consider withdrawing student from the class until the child is developmentally ready for structured group activities.
  • Students are expected to be respectful to classmates and instructors.

Logistics:

  • To maintain safety, class minimums will require some classes to close prior to first day of class.
  • If class has already begun, students must wait at the door to be called into the correct group to avoid crossing the team vaulting area.

Parking:

The parking lot and driveway is designed to drop students off by the door and park in back (one way to the back parking lot).  Please exit the parking lot on the west side of the building (one way from the back parking lot).  Limited parking is available in the front of the building.  Please save the parking in the front of the building for those who may have limited mobility.  Please do not wait in the driveway to pick up your child, as this does block the entrance to the back parking lot. Please do not park on 29th street as there is no parking allowed on that road.

Preschool Specific:

  • Appropriate gym attire is athletic style clothing without loose strings or ties. Parent helpers (parent/tot class) should dress in comfortable clothing.
