Each class level has a set list of skills that must be mastered before a coach recommends him/her to advance to the next level. If your child is especially eager to advance, you have the option to enroll in more than one class per week. Also, coaches offer private lessons to help gymnasts perfect a certain skill that might be preventing placement in a more advanced class.

Evaluations and Moving Up

Students are evaluated on a quarterly basis. Students that are recommended to move up to the next skill level can do so immediately. If there are no suitable class options available, athletes will remain in their current class and be placed on a waiting list until a spot in the desired class becomes available.

Spectator Policy:

Due to insurance restrictions, no one is allowed in the training area before class without an instructor. Siblings and friends that are not enrolled in class must remain outside the training area and must be supervised by an adult. When class is over, gymnasts must leave the training area. The instructor will need to start the next class and cannot be held responsible to supervise. For the safety of those in class, spectators are asked to please keep the noise level as low as possible. There is also no photography or videotaping allowed unless it is of your own child AND approved by the coach/instructor.

Food and Drinks:

For safety gum chewing is prohibited in the training area.

Drop-Off & Pick-Up:

In order to ensure your child is warmed up properly, please arrive on time to your scheduled recreation class. Recreation gymnasts should not arrive more than 10 minutes before class and must be supervised until class begins. The extra time allows your child to change clothes if necessary, settle in and get comfortable. Anticipate lots of other children, lots of noise, and lots of parents; it takes several minutes for a youngster to absorb it all! Children who are younger than five years of age must have a parent on site/in the lobby at all times. Classes start on time because the instructor needs all the time available to complete lesson plans. Dreams Gymnastics Center takes every precaution to ensure the safety of your child. Therefore, we ask parents to be as diligent as possible to ensure children are picked up on time. We understand there are times that circumstances beyond control will cause you to run a few minutes late. Accordingly, Dreams will extend the courtesy of supervising your child behind the front desk for an extra five minutes after his/her activity is finished. Parents of team gymnasts are allowed 15 minutes at drop-off and 15 minutes at pick-up for viewing.

Miscellaneous

Parents are not allowed in the gym unless involved in a parent and toddler class or at the direction of the coaching staff.

Smoking is prohibited both inside and outside the facilities at Dreams Gymnastics Center.

Flash photography while athletes are in motion is prohibited.

Behavior:

Good behavior must be used at all times. Gymnasts displaying disorderly conduct before or during class will be asked to sit out of the class. In the extreme case that a preschool child is shy or frightened, please communicate with his/her coach to find a solution.

Allergies and Medical conditions:

Dreams Gymnastics Center happily accepts any child regardless of allergies or medical conditions. We ask that if your child has any sort of special needs, you let the front desk know. There is a separate form for you to fill out explaining how to handle your child's medical conditions or allergies. You MUST let us know so the instructor knows of the potential issue. If your child is sick/injured and cannot participate in his/her gymnastics classes, Parents' Night Out, birthday parties or camps, please alert the front desk and provide a note from the doctor stating the sickness/ injury, date of sickness or injury and the doctor's signature. At that time, your child will be dropped from his/her registered activity and you will be issued a credit or refund (your choice) from the date you present Dreams with the doctor's note. Alternatively, if you wish to have your child continue in his/her current gymnastics class, he/she will remain enrolled (so the slot can be held) but credits or refunds will not be given for missed classes.

Open Wound Policy:

• All cuts and abrasions must be covered with a band-aid and athletic tape.
