Safety Policies

Safety First At Branch Gymnastics!

Please be on time! Each class starts with a complete warm-up. The warm-up is an essential part of all sports. A proper warm-up helps prepare the entire body for activity as well as helping to prevent injury. Classes will begin promptly. Flexibility, strength, balance, coordination, posture, skill development, as well as student-teacher interaction all take place during our structured warm-ups.

Please have your child arrive at least 5 minutes before class starts. We ask that you walk your child into the building for class and that you walk into the building to pick up him/her after class. For your child’s safety, students will not be allowed to wait outside the building.
All students must wear the appropriate attire. For gymnastics classes, girls may wear leotards or shorts and a T-shirt. Hair should be neatly secured in French braids or a ponytail. No jewelry or tights are allowed. Boys should wear shorts and a T-shirt or a warm-up. No belts, jewelry or jeans. For dance and karate, check with your instructors for appropriate dress code.
Parents and guests are always welcome to observe. However, parents, siblings and guests are not permitted in the gym at any time. If you need your child, for any reason, please contact the front office and they will assist you. If you, the parent are enrolled in a parent participation class or a birthday party, you must sign a waiver to be allowed in the gym. Thank you for your cooperation!
Concentration and class control are very important for safe development. We ask that family and friends of the students do not distract them at any time.
Please help us keep Branch Gymnastics a safe place by supervising your children. We ask that no one stand or climb on chairs, cubbies, walls, or other furniture. No horseplay is permitted in the viewing areas.

No food or gum in the gym at any time.
No smoking in the building.
