What To Wear
All girls must wear the red and white Flex-Art gym suit
to every class. Sweatshirts and other tops are not allowed.
Only lycra / spandex shorts may be worn with the gym
suit if desired. Boys must wear shorts and the black or
red Flex-Art T-shirt -- no long pants. Gymsuits, girls'
shorts and t-shirts are available for purchase directly from
Flex-Art. All children must be barefeet. This is for their
own safety on the apparatus. Deodorant is highly recommended
for those kids who need it. Also note that everyone should
change in the locker rooms, and all clothing should be left
there as well. You may bring a lock if desired, for the lockers.
No one should be changing or leaving clothes upstairs.
Hair / Jewelry
Long hair must always be tied back, out of the child's face,
with proper elastics and/or hair clips. It must hold for the
entire class! Jewelry and watches must not be worn.
Kids will be asked to remove their necklaces, bracelets and
watches before class for safety reasons. In order to avoid
having items lost or stolen, we strongly recommend leaving
them at home.

Picking Up Kids At The
End Of Class
Kids are to be picked up promptly at the time that their
class ends. If you need to pick up your child early or absolutely
need to speak to them, please advise the front-desk person
and/or the program director. Parents are not allowed on
the gym floor (or any part of the workout area) under any
circumstance. The distraction poses a real hazard to the
other children in the program.

Parents' Waiting Area
Parents are to remain downstairs for the duration of the
class for safety reasons. Also, kids are less distracted that
way. Parents are welcomed to wait in our party room at the
end of the downstairs hall where there are tables and chairs
at your disposal. Also, please do not sit nor wait on the
stairs as this is a fire hazard and is dangerous. Only
5 minutes before the end of the class may anyone wait in the
upstairs seating area.

Boots And Shoes
Everyone must remove their shoes or boots in the front
lobby, even during the spring season. The kids are barefeet
and do walk up and down the stairs during class time. Please
make sure that your child's name is clearly written on their
boots.

Discipline
Gymnastics is a high-impact sport, which pushes the mind
and body beyond the norm. It is therefore important that
gymnasts learn to look carefully, to listen attentively, to
be aware of their surroundings, and to follow instructions
closely. Safety on the gym floor is directly related to
how well these basic principles are observed.

Class Structure
Each class is broken up into 3 segments:
Warm up (10 to 15 mins.)
The warm up is an important transition for the kids allowing
them to prepare their bodies for training without injury.
Training (45 to 60 mins.)
During training, each gymnast will be expected to do his/her
best to learn and perform the moves and activities set out
by the coach. Learning gymnastics moves is a slow and steady
process, where each move learnt leads to a more advanced one.
Conditioning (5 to 15 mins.)
As a goal, conditioning targets the development of specific
muscles needed to make a better gymnast.or sometimes we just
play a game.
