Do you
do progress reports?
We sure do!
Progress reports are given in February and June. Our coaches
document each child's progressions the entire year. If you ever
have any questions about your child's progressions we strongly
encourage you to talk to your child's coaches.
Do you
do anything special for skill achievements?
Of course! When a
child has accomplished a new skill their coach will have a special award
made just for them along with a ribbon. We also have Gymnast of the
Month. Our coaches are constantly looking out for children who are
trying their very best and also have a positive attitude. Those selected
for Gymnast of the Month will receive a special certificate and get
their name on our Gymnast of the Month board and they will see their
name on our web site.
Do you have a parent viewing area?
We have spacious
viewing areas, equipped with padded chairs, for parents to sit
comfortably and watch their children. We also have free coffee and free
wireless access.
Are the
instructors certified?
Yes, all of our
instructors are certified by USA Gymnastics which is the national
governing body for the sport of gymnastics in the United States. USA
Gymnastics has more than 13,000 professional & instructor members. The
360° Gymnastics coaching staff is required to complete the USA
Gymnastics Safety Certification Program and our “360° In-House
Training”.
Do I
have to stay to watch my child?
No, unless your
child is not able to use the restroom by themselves. If you are going to
leave the facility, while your child is in class, please make sure the
360° Gymnastics Business Office has your cell phone number on file so we
have a method to contact you in the event of an emergency.
Is
gymnastics good for your child?
“Gymnastics and early childhood movement education is directly
attributed to developing neurological pathways in students and promoting
reading readiness.” (Raising-A-Reader, 1999) Preschool gymnastics
prepares students for successful experiences in school. Children who
have participated in movement education activities have longer attention
spans, communication skills, general problem-solving skills, and
improved self-esteem. “For every $1.00 spent on children’s recreational
activities, society saves $4.78 in costs of remedial education, welfare,
and crime prevention.” (Federal Committee for Economic Development,
1998)
Are there changing rooms?
Yes, our bathrooms are very large and serve as our changing rooms.
Is the gym clean?
Yes, our facility is cleaned daily.
When can I start?
You can start at any time. Fees are pro-rated to reflect the remaining
classes in the current session.
How do I
know if you are closed for bad weather?
360° Gymnastics serves many school districts; therefore, we DO NOT
follow the closing decisions of any particular district. Please call the
office at 978-425-0360 or check our web site at www.360-gymnastics.com
to receive any closing information. We will update our web site and
voice mail regularly.
Is the 360° recreational gymnastics program competitive
in any way?
No, our recreational gymnastics program is self paced and
individualized.
How do
students get into the competitive program?
Entry into our competitive program is by invitation only. Our
recreational coaches keep a sharp eye out for students who demonstrate
an aptitude for competitive gymnastics. For specific information please
