Attention 4-8* year-old gymnasts!

RGC Open Call for Competitive Team Try-Out
Saturday, Feb. 4th, 2012
5:30-8:30 pm

If you are interested in learning more about Richfield Gymnastics Club's USAG competitive gymnastics program and in finding out of it would be a good fit for your daughter, do not miss this once-per-year opportunity! Gymnasts will be evaluated on strength, flexibility, form, skill level by age, and attitude. Depending on number of openings for our team, gymnasts will be selected from the Open Call to participate in the team try-out period which begins March 1st, 2012. Not all participants will be selected, and those selected will not all make the team for the 2012 season. Information on the team try-out period will be available for parents at the Open Call. Hope to see you there!

*Participants must be ages 5-8 as of August 1st, 2012 to be considered.

Who is your coach tonight?

On our main door there is now a "Who is Your Coach Tonight?" photo gallery. This tells who is the Lead Senior Coach for the night and then all the other coaches for the night. The top half of the door has the coaches for that particular night. The bottom half has the rest of the RGC coaching staff.

Gymnastics classes are offered to girls, ages 3 years and up. Classes are 1 hour in length with the exception of Pre-Beginners (3 and 4 years old) – 30 minutes and Advanced Intermediate (instructor approval only) – 2 hours; for a 10 week session. Classes held at the Richfield High School (70th & Harriet Ave.). Parents are invited to watch the first and last class of the session only. Classes meet one day per week. Please see the schedule below.

Spring 2012 Class Registration Form

We do not guarantee or hold spots in class unless we receive full payment with a completed registration form. This applies to current students as well as new students.
The deadline for current students to sign up is Saturday, February 11th, 2012.

Open Registration: For new or returning-after-lapse students:
Monday, February 13; Wednesday, February 15; Friday, February 17: 5:00pm – 7:00pm, Saturday, February 18: 12:00pm – 3:00pm

If you are unable to make open registration or if you have missed it altogether, please call the gym @ 612-798-6386 to register your child or to get additional information on what class space is available. Registration may only be paid by cash or check.

**If you are trying to sign up in the same class as a friend plan to sign up together or mail your registrations together. We can make no guarantees to get friends in the same class/group but we will do our best. The sooner you get your registration turned in the better chance you have to be in the same class or group with friends! Again it is first come first serve**

Testing to determine your gymnast's level for the next session will take place during weeks 6 & 7 of the current session. It is important for your gymnast to be present at class during one or preferably both of these weeks.

Policy for make up classes: Each gymnast is only able to do one make up class per session. If your gymnast has used their one make up class they can not do another one during the session. If you have questions regarding this policy please call the gym @ 612-798-6386 to speak with a coach or the director.

If weather is questionable, please call the gym @ 612-798-6386. There will be a message at least 1 hour prior to class on the voicemail if we have decided to cancel class. We will not return any voicemail messages asking if we do or do not have class either due to weather or a holiday. If there is not a message indicating there is no class please plan for gymnastics classes to be taking place.

****Please add our email address (RichfieldGymnasticsClub@live.com) to your contacts. Our emails most likely will go to your junk box including upcoming registration information and forms****
