Recreational Classes:

Skill of the Month: Hand Placement

Why can't I do a proper cartwheel?

Why do my elbows feel funny when

I try to do a shoulder block?

Why am I falling off the beam

on my forward roll?

Why do I fall off the bar when

attempting a pull over?

One of the most common errors in gymnastics and tumbling is the failure of proper hand-placement. A gymnast turning his/her hands out on a round-off may not be able to do a proper shoulder block or may hyper-extend an elbow. During the month of September we will be focusing on Hand Placement on all skills and apparatuses.

Student evaluations will take place in September. Once all evaluations are complete, results will be posted in your customer portal.

Winter Fest will be held on January 24th & 25th, 2015. More information to follow.

Recreational Class Make-ups

Gymnastics Classes:

Saturdays @ 12 noon

Tumbling Classes:

3rd Saturday of each month @ 12:15pm

Make-up Policy Reminders:

Tuition is not pro-rated for absences. Therefore, offering a make-up is a courtesy we extend to you. Students are eligible to make-up one class within 30 days as long as tuition and fees are up-to-date. Make-ups are held on Saturdays and sign-ups are required. Spaces are limited and not guaranteed. They may not be "saved up" and taken as a free class at a later time. A scheduled make-up will be counted if we are not notified 24 hours in advance that you are canceling. If you know your child will miss, please make arrangements ahead of time to make it up.

Make-ups are not held for classes that meet 1 1/2 hours or more per week. This has been factored into your class tuition rate.
