Requests to leave early

If you have any appointments or other engagements, we recommend ensuring they are after your class time, alternatively, you should not come to class this day.

​

Requests to leave early are disruptive to our class and are not fair on other gymnasts.

Sick/Injured

If your gymnast has been sick/injured in the 48 hours prior to their class, please do not send them to training.

​

This is unfair on the child, fellow gymnasts and coaches.

If a child is too sick to attend school, they are too sick to attend gymnastics.
