3. Get Enrolled: Once registration is submitted and a payment method is added to your Portal account, our enrollment coordinator, Alexa, will EMAIL you confirmation, information, and next steps (usually within a week) with enrollment information and next steps.

• All new students are required to complete a one-month in a beginner class before joining a regular class. We place new students the first week of each month and returning students as soon as a spot is available.

• NO SKIRTS, LOOSE SHORTS, SKORTS, or TUTUS 
• NO BUTTONS, BEADS, ZIPPERS, SNAPS, BUCKLES, OR STRINGS

• BAREFEET: Shoes and socks are to be removed. Everyone must be barefoot.

What does my child need to bring?  Besides a positive mental attitude, and shoes to wear in and out of the building, your child can bring a reusable water bottle and anything else they need to keep their hair out of their face and clothes in place for practice and any additional support supplies, such as braces, pre-wrap, and tape. Otherwise, we have water fountains, hand sanitizer, and chalk.

When should we arrive for class? Students should arrive no more than 5 minutes prior to their class time. This is so that we have time to clear out the building and parking lot to make room for the next students. We may have the front foor locked or ask you to remain outside of the faility, including the parking lot until the class prior has cleared out.

 

How do you structure your classes?  Our recreational (beginner and intermediate classes) are structured by age and our advanced and team classes are designated by skill & technique, maturity, and drive. Our gymnastics classes include instruction and development for all gymnastics events. Our current rec classes are:

• 3 yr olds (boys and girls together) 6-student max – 60-minute classes
• 4 & 5 yr olds (boys and girls together) 8-student max – 60-minute classes
• 6, 7, & 8 yr olds (girls) 8-student max – 60-minute classes
• 9+  (girls) 8-student max – 60 minute classes
• Boys 6 and older: Boys & Intermediate classes (boys) 8-student max – 60-minute classes

Our more advanced classes include our Pre-team (Little Stars) and Competitive Team (Levels 1-10) are for girls 5 and older who are evaluated and meet the minimum skill and behavioral criteria – class length varies. Students must pass an evaluation and receive an invitation from the Director for placement in these levels.

What should I expect my child to learn in the rec classes?  We first focus on safety and gymnastics fundamentals. Our coaching staff develops monthly learning objectives for our rec classes based on fundamentals, core skills, strength, and body awareness and control. Depending on their age, our classes will teach your child how to do the basic skills for gymnastics on Bars, Beam, Floor, and Vault. When they demonstrate that they can perform the core skills, consistently, and with good form, their coach may recommend and evaluation to be considered for our advanced classes (Little Stars – Pre-team) and team classes. See the Class Information page for more details.

 

Can I stay and watch my child during class?  Absolutely!! We have always had an open-gym floor-plan. There is a large viewing area upstairs with bleachers.

Can I drop my child off for class and leave?  Yes! We do require an adult/guardian to stay for the duration of a new student’s first class, otherwise, you can stay or leave as you wish.

 

How do I determine which class my child should be in?  All new gymnastics students 3-8 year’s old start in a beginner class for one month. Once they complete the beginner class, they can move into any regular recreational class we have with open spots. Our coaches are trained to advance students and identify when they are ready to move up levels.

 

What happens if we miss a lesson?  It happens and is no big thing. We do not provide refunds or credits for missed classes. Make-up classes are not guaranteed. Once you enroll and pay the monthly tuition, your child’s place is guaranteed through the month for the class in which they are registered, whether they attend or not. Because of this hold, refunds will not be issued. 

• Make-ups are provided in the case of CONTAGIOUS ILLNESSES. Make-up for day(s) missed may be scheduled once the office is provided with a signed doctor’s note for the child. Make-ups are contingent upon class availability and are not guaranteed.
• Team students are not eligible for make-ups.
• All make-ups must be scheduled and confirmed with the office at least 1 week in advance of attendance. Make-up classes are subject to the availability of class times and spaces and cannot be rescheduled. If you miss a make-up class, we will not schedule another one. A limit of ONE make-up class will be given per month to those eligible. Classes must be made up within 30 days and will not be carried over. Email alexa@nassergym.com to inquire about make-ups.

 

Are sibling discounts available?. Sibling discounts are applied to our annual membership fee and monthly tuition. When an additional child is enrolled, they receive a $5 discount to both of those fees.

 

How long does my child have to be in a class before they get to move up to the next level?. At Nasser, our goal is to advance students by teaching the proper progressions, body shaping, strength, and core skills. Students advance at their own pace, which is not based on duration, but rather abilities, strength, maturity, drive, etc. Each child is moved up on an individual basis. When your child is ready to move up, our coaches will let you know.

• If you think your gymnast is advanced, you may schedule an evaluation for $55. We typically recommend Private Lessons to strengthen and polish the necessary skills to advance prior to an evaluation
• Evaluations are used to advance students, but also to assess students in their gymnastics development. Evaluations are great for providing insights on students’ skill level and possible areas of improvement.
• Private Lessons and Evaluations may be booked in the Parent Portal under Events.

 

How can my child participate in the competitive team?  Any of our gymnasts in Level 1 or higher have the opportunity to compete.

• If you think your gymnast is advanced, you may schedule an evaluation for $55. We typically recommend Private Lessons to strengthen and polish the necessary skills to advance prior to an evaluation.
• Evaluations are used to advance students, but also to assess students in their gymnastics development. Evaluations are great for providing insights on students’ skill level and possible areas of improvement.
