Club Rules & Policies

BEHAVIOR Any child who does not have a sufficient attention span to enable him/her to follow the coach's instructions or harasses other children, puts his/her own safety and other gymnasts at risk, may be asked to withdraw from the program, and any fees paid in advance will be refunded. Proper conduct is required at all times from all gymnasts’ and parents/guardians!
