About Our Program
Our program is based upon the U.S.A. Gymnastics Program. U.S.A. Gymnastics is the governing body for men's and women's gymnastics in the United States. There is a list of skills on each apparatus at each level for the gymnast to master. As soon as they have mastered the skills at one level, they move to the next level. So they can progress at their own rate.

The gym conducts a gym-wide evaluation every 10 weeks, and instructors can advance a gymnast at any time in between evaluations if they become ready. Pre-School, Levels 1, 2 and 3 are part of our Class Program. Level 4 is our Pre-Team and HotShot Program, and Level 5 and above is part of our Competitive Team Program.

We also have classes for boys, Tumbling and Cheerleading. All students entering our program under 6 years of age must enter the Pre-School Program, or pass the evaluation to another level. All students entering at age 6 or over must enter at Level 1 or pass the evaluation to another level.

Our program is broken up in 4-week sessions. This is to standardize the month so that everybody gets the same amount of lessons each month. Payments made on or before the actual first of the month will receive the 10% Early Bird Discount provided that you have a signed Early Bird contract on file. Payments made after the first of the month or with no Early Bird contract pay the regular fee.

The second child in the family receives a 20% discount. If a student's fees are not paid by the first week of the session, they cannot be allowed to attend class and may be replaced by another student. Parents, please pay attention to this because we have waiting lists for many classes.

We do not pro-rate, carry-over, or refund fees for classes missed. We do not owe make-ups since an instructor has already been paid to teach the class regardless of whether your child was present. We will allow one make-up per month, provided that there is a class of that level with openings, but you must be responsible for your child's attendance. All make-ups must be booked through the front desk. There are no make-ups allowed during open gym.
