  • 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:

  • Class maximum enrollment will be followed and waitlists will be created when classes fill.
  • 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.
  • Leave shoes, jackets, and clothing in cubbies in lobby. Valuable items should not be left unattended. Hub City Gymnastics is not responsible for any lost or stolen personal items from the lobby or public areas.
  • No makeups are available, if you miss a class we cannot prorate or refund for missed classes. Classes are paid per  session, regardless of days attended.
  • Payment is due prior to the class beginning or student may not participate.
  • Students may not participate without a signed waiver from the parent portal.
  • If a class is cancelled once due to inclement weather, we will not offer a makeup class. However, if two or more classes are cancelled in a session, we will offer a makeup class. In the event of inclement weather, Hub City will announce closures on our facebook page.
  • All fees are non-refundable.
  • Parents may not enter into the gymnasium with the exception of the parent/tot class.
  • All classes are welcome to boys and girls. Although traditional men’s gymnastics includes pommel horse and high bar, any boys involved in the Hub City Gymnastics recreation curriculum will practice on the Vault, Uneven Bars, Balance Beam, and Floor. Our Boys programming will focus on the boys specific events (rings, high bar, parallel bars, pommel horse). 

Class Rules:

  • Wait in the lobby until your class is called into the gym.
  • Appropriate gym attire is athletic style clothing without loose strings or ties. Leotards and shorts is the preferred attire for recreation classes. Boys may wear shorts and T-shirts. Loose clothing could get tangled on the apparatus, and is discouraged. Clothing must cover athletes torso, sports bras as a top are not acceptable. Athletes should be barefoot. Snaps and buttons on pants are not allowed as these can damage the uneven bars.
  • Please notify instructor if gymnast needs to use the bathroom or get a drink of water, instructor will assist student to find safe pathway to exit gymnasium for bathroom break. 

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 part on 29th street as there is no parking allowed on that road.

Recreation Level Specific:

  • Evaluations: Students in the recreation program will be evaluated every session of 8 weeks or longer and bring home an evaluation card indicating skills at which the student has developed proficiency. This card will notify parents which classes the student is eligible to register for in the following session. It is not abnormal to spend multiple sessions at each level of the recreation program. If your student has prior gymnastics experience, evaluations can be scheduled to determine which class is the appropriate class for the student.
