Drop Policy: unsure if Gymnastics is right for your student? You may attend once without penalty. If it isn't a good fit, it must come off of your partnership schedule immediately.

Description: Group Gymnastics classes will introduce basic tumbling and flexibility. Gymnastics teaches basic to advanced skills in tumbling, trampoline and acrobatics. Students are placed in groups of up to 10 students based on level and a coach teaches the next skill in a series of skills and disciplines. Every 3rd week, students will have the opportunity to choose some of the disciplines that are unique to our gym: Aerial Silk, Mini-Tramp, Wall-Walking, Lyra as well as building group pyramids. We call this week “Circus Week” At the end of the semester, students will have the opportunity to perform the skills that they have learned.

*Please note: it is important to make as informed a decision as possible when choosing your student's Community Resource classes. Most locations will allow a student to drop a class after one meeting, at no charge if it wasn't a good fit for the student, but not all. Some classes plan ahead based on the number that have signed up and have purchased materials, hired teachers, etc. and there might be a fee for class time or materials given to the student if the student drops after one or two meetings. The school cannot pay for classes that students do not complete, so choose wisely; if you do not take the class off of your student's schedule by the deadline, you may be asked to pay for the class time incurred prior to dropping the class.
