Parent Viewing Policy
Junior, General and Teen Gymnastics parents are welcome to stay and watch from the parent viewing area or can leave and return prior to the end of class.
Parents with children in the Development Gymnastics Program are welcome to stay and watch however we recommend not staying on a regular basis to watch for these reasons:
- Children get distracted by parents watching them and can lose concentration
- The distraction can lead to gymnasts being in danger whilst performing skills
- Children feel a need to perform in front of their parents
- Parents will not see an immediate improvement by watching their child all the time
- Parents will see greater improvement watching training every now and againWe recommend that Competitive Gymnastics Parents are expected to drop gymnasts off and leave once class has commenced and return to pick them up. Parents may stay for the first 10 minutes of class and arrive for the last 10 minutes of class. This is for the above reasons.
Make Up Policy
For Junior, General and Teen Gymnastics Classes we offer make up lessons. Please notify the office of your child’s absence in advance and we will do our best to offer a suitable make up lesson. Make up lessons must be done within the same term of lessons missed. Make up classes are not offered for children who missed class without notifying the office. Refunds or Credits are not given for children who miss classes. There is a limit of 3 make up lessons per term. As our classes run at a ratio of one coach per 8-9 participants make up classes can only be offered where vacancies exist. This ensures we maintain a high level of quality in our Programs. We will do our best to accommodate.
We do not offer make up classes for Development and Competitive Classes.
