Observation

Because of distraction, observation is discouraged!   An occasional visit from parents or dropping in for the last 10 minutes of class is welcome. Parents are asked not to coach their gymnasts during gymnastics classes. It is distracting to the student and distracting to the coach and dangerous to the athletes. (Also disrespectful.)   Please regard our gymnastics school as you would any other school. (Parents don't go to school and help the teachers teach class.) Students are asked not to bring friends to watch class without first talking to Kathy.  Only gymnasts who are insured through Quantum are allowed to take part in physical activity.   More on Observation | Note to parents

Tuition is the same each month regardless of attendance. I guarantee that gymnasts are offered 36 classes for the 9-month fall-spring session. They often receive more.  I do not charge for practices and rehearsals.  Thirty-six classes over a 9 month period averages to 4 classes per monthly payment. Kathy will arrange make-up classes for any canceled classes or snow days if needed, and will also offer Open Gyms. You can arrange with her to make-up any missed class by attending another class.

Still don't understand?  I'll try to explain further.

There are at least if not more than 36 class days for each weekday on the calendar. Many months have 5 making up for the months that have only 3 such as November and December. This would allow us a few snow days. However, there will be activities in the auditorium such as the Holiday Preview and the Rotary Club Banquet in which we will be asked to cancel classes. Also Kathy may have to miss several classes this year for out of town conventions related to work. I know these are a terrible inconveniences to you and to our gymnasts, but they are conditions on which I must operate Quantum Gymnastics. Open Gyms will be offered which may be used as make-up classes. There will be extra practices before performances and no extra tuition will be charged for these extra classes. You can keep track of holidays, closings and activities on our Quantum calendar on this website.

We all know how difficult it can be for kids who miss workouts or classes. I will do everything within my power to see that work outs are available each week. Even two absences in a short period of time can make it difficult for the gymnast to “catch up” on what we covered while he/she was absent. Quantum classes follow a set curriculum and new things are taught each class period. Gymnasts are taught subject material in the areas of skill training, mechanics, conditioning, safety, dance, sportsmanship : ) and choreography. (not necessarily in that order) I try to touch on new aspects of each issue every class period. I cover as much in each class as I can, and I like to think our program is progressive while staying FUN.

Note:  Gymnastics classes are offered at Quantum on a “session to session” basis.

As with any program, factors can arise resulting in its discontinuation. Variables
always exist which are either beyond our control such as using a pubic facility, or which result in an unavoidable change in priorities. At this time, I see no reason why our program won't continue into the distant future.
