PROGRESSIVE
GYMNASTICS CLASSES Based on the national YMCA gymnastics program,
our gymnastics program is designed to teach gymnastics skills in a progressive
manner, so participants feel success along the way and are ready for new skills
at the appropriate time. Consequently, specific skills must be achieved before
students move to the next level. Due to the difficulty of certain skills, children
will not always move on after one session of instruction. If you have any questions
about classes, please ask Julie Fox, Gymnastics Coordinator. PRESCHOOL

POLICIES
AND GUIDELINES NO
FOOD, DRINK OR GUM DURING LESSONS
Our
commitment to the safety of the gymnast and to others in the gym. Therefore the
following guidelines have been set in place. If
there are other children with you please have them remain seated with you at all
times. If you find you have the need, the nursery is available for your use. If
the nursery is closed, you must remain with the child in the nursery. Please be
respectful and leave the nursery as you found it.
Attire A
leotard or shorts with an elastic waist (no jeans or jean shorts) and T-shirt
will be fine, we need clothing to be form fitted so it will not get in the way
of instructors spotting your child. Since
every child develops differently, we reserve the right to move children to a more
skill appropriate level. Please
let us know immediately if you are not satisfied with you childs lessons,
so that we can make the appropriate changes. Gymnastics Supervisor. |
