Elevate Gymnastics – Rules & Policies

To help provide a safe, positive, and productive environment for all athletes, we ask that all families follow these guidelines.

 

1. Hair & Attire

• Hair must be tied back securely before class.

• Athletes must wear appropriate gymnastics attire, including a leotard or athletic clothing such as leggings, shorts, and a fitted athletic top.

• No jewelry, loose clothing, buttons, or zippers during participation.

 

2. Safety First

• Gymnastics is an inherently risky sport and requires focus, body awareness, and self-control.

• Athletes must listen to coaches and follow instructions at all times.

• Unsafe behavior, including misuse of equipment, roughhousing, flinging/flopping without control, or ignoring safety corrections, will not be tolerated.

• Athletes may be asked to sit out, be removed from an activity, or leave class if safety expectations are not met.

• Equipment may only be used with coach permission and supervision.

 

3. Parent Viewing Policy

• To encourage athlete focus, confidence, and independence, parents are invited to watch the final 15 minutes of class.

• Excessive observation during class can be distracting and may impact athlete progress and participation.

 

4. Respect & Behavior

• Respectful behavior is expected from all athletes, parents, and guardians.

• Bullying, disruptive behavior, inappropriate language, or disrespect toward coaches, staff, or other participants will not be tolerated.

• Elevate Gymnastics reserves the right to dismiss any participant for unsafe, disruptive, or disrespectful behavior without refund.

 

5. Attendance & Make-Up Classes

• Consistent attendance is encouraged for athlete progress and safety.

• Missed classes, camps, or events are non-refundable.

• Make-up classes are not guaranteed and may only be offered when space is available.

 

6. Drop-Off & Pick-Up

• Athletes must be dropped off and picked up on time.

• Parents should notify us if they expect to arrive late.

• Elevate Gymnastics is not responsible for athletes before or after their scheduled class time.

 

7. Equipment Use

• Athletes may not use gymnastics equipment unless a coach is present.

• Parents and guardians are not permitted on equipment during classes except during designated Play Gym activities.

 

8. Camps & Open Gym

• Camp spots are limited and reserved only after payment is received.

• Participants should bring a water bottle and packed lunch when required.

• Open Gym participation is supervised but still involves active physical risk.

• Elevate Gymnastics reserves the right to modify, limit, or end activities for safety reasons.

 

9. Most Important Rule: Have Fun!

We want every athlete to feel confident, supported, challenged, and excited to learn. Our goal is to help children build strength, discipline, resilience, and a lifelong love of movement.
