Parents:
We highly encourage you to read these guidelines and go over them with your child before they start their first class! This can help to ensure an enjoyable and fun experience for every child here at Granite City Gymnastics!

Granite City Gymnastics Class Guidelines:

1.     Gymnasts must respect all other gymnasts when in class. This means encouraging their teammates and working together to have FUN!

2.     Gymnasts must keep their hands to themselves at all times. There is absolutely no hitting, kicking, or pushing allowed!

3.     Gymnasts must respect their coaches at all times!

4.     There is no gum, jewelry, food, or pop allowed in the main gym area. Only water in a closed container is acceptable.

5.     There is absolutely no running in the main gym. Gymnasts must walk with their coaches to each event or to get a drink of water.

6.     Gymnasts must follow ALL safety guidelines at all times on each event.

Parent Tips and Guidelines for a GREAT class:

1.     Discuss the importance of having good behavior at gymnastics, and to try and participate as much as possible!

2.     Always try to arrive on time with your gymnast dressed and ready for class.

3.     If you drop off your gymnast, then please make sure to pick them up on time.

4.     Make sure to bring your child into the restroom before class starts so they do not miss any class time. Also, try to grab a drink of water before practice starts!

5.     Please wait in the lobby area with your gymnast before class starts. Parents are allowed to watch in the viewing area.

6.     Please keep child(ren) off of all equipment before and after all classes. Children not registered in a gymnastics class are not allowed on any equipment at all times!
