Rules and Policies
CORONA UPDATES:
GYMNASTS:
* USE THE RESTROOM AT HOME and wash hands BEFORE COMING TO GYM.
* HAND SANITIZE UPON ARRIVAL for everyone who enters the building.
* WAIT on a designated spot for their class teacher to allow them into the gym. Once inside, my child should refrain from leaving the gym. If they need to leave, they must wash their hands and sanitize before reentering the gym floor.
*WILL FREQUENTLY sanitize their hands while inside the facility.
MASKS ARE NOT REQUIRED (though allowed) for students. May actually be a hindrance.
* MUST BRING PERSONAL WATER BOTTLE.
PARENTS:
DROP OFF my child(ren) off at the front (North) door and pick them up at the back (South) door
CONTACT INFORMATION must be up to date, and that I remain reachable while my child is attending practice.
REALIZE THAT SPOTTING is sometimes necessary for safety & to prevent injury. Children will only be spotted as needed.
ONLY ONE PARENT or non-participating individual will be allowed to enter the building at the main entrance.
OBSERVE SOCIAL DISTANCING in the lobby area. Spectating is not encouraged, but we understand that it may be necessary for some.
MASKS are required for instructors and recommended for all spectators and non-participating individuals.
KEEP GYMNASTS HOME if they or anyone in family is coughing, has a temperature over 100, or other Covid-19 symptoms.
HAVE CHILDREN WASH HANDS AND FEET thoroughly upon arriving back home.
I understand that all Jungle Gym staff members will make a strong effort to socially distance, but that due to the nature of the sport, there will be times that contact or less than prescribed physical distancing will occur.
I am allowing my child to participate at The Jungle Gym, knowing that it is impossible to keep them, myself, or any other individual inside the gym completely safe from COVID-19 exposure.
These procedures will evolve and change over time, and that I will follow any new standards required by the state and local government, and by The Jungle Gymnastics Adventure Center.
OTHER POLICIES:
Waiting and Observation Room:
Toys are for 3 and under. Please supervise your children in this room. Students and siblings need to stay in this area between classes. Please help your child put toys away before you leave.

For water, please use the drinking fountain.
The Gym Areas:
ONLY REGISTERED STUDENTS ACCOMPANIED BY AN INSTRUCTOR in the Gym areas. Please remember that even though a gym area may be open, except during specified open gyms, IT IS NOT AN OPEN GYM. Students and siblings need to stay off the mats and equipment between classes.
Restroom:
Please accompany your young children to the restroom. Let us know if there are any problems with the restrooms.

Students should wear “gym clothes” which may include sweats, shorts, T-shirt, or leotard. Middle and High School cheerleaders must wear T-SHIRTS. NO HALF-TOPS, TANK TOPS, OR BARE MIDRIFFS. Wear socks, footies, or bare feet (no sores or infections). No shoes in gym. No Jeans, no street clothes, no sandals. We will be running and sweating and exercising and stretching during every class, so dress accordingly.
Parents:
A Parent should be with us if you have registered for one of the Lion Cub Classes (Parent-Tot). Otherwise, NO PARENTS OR SIBLINGS in the gym, unless we ask you. (Sometimes a new student may do better with you in the gym to start and in that case we will ask you to come in). You may wait in the waiting area, with toys and activities available for little ones, or you may watch class from one of the Party/waiting rooms.
Siblings:
Siblings not in the class MUST wait with a parent in the central observation room. NO UNREGISTERED STUDENTS MAY ENTER THE GYM AT ANY TIME unless led by an instructor.
Open Gyms:
Open gyms are held Tuesday 9:30-11:30 AM and Saturday 10:30-12:30. Jungle Gym members always pay just $5 per open gym. Public fees are $10 for ages 3 and up and $5 for ages 2 and under. Family fees are $10 each for the first two and then $5 for additional in same family.
Make-ups:
Schedule a make-up class with the desk for any of the other regularly scheduled class times. You may make-up missed classes any time during that session. Only classes missed the last week of a session can be made up the following session. We do not refund or prorate fees for missed classes. You are paying for the reserved right to come to the classes each month and make-ups are your responsibility. If we cancel classes for any reason, we will either schedule a make-up day or have you schedule make-ups at your convenience, at our discretion. WE DO NOT ADJUST, REFUND, or PRORATE for CLASSES CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER. We will try to make them up but if we cannot, it is just considered a "wash". (weather includes power failure due to storms, snowstorms, ice, etc)
Payments:
Payments are due by the 25th of each month and pays for the following month’s classes. Your spot in class is reserved as long as you make your payment on time. You may lose your spot if payment is late and there is a waiting list. If you are NOT taking class next month, YOU MUST TELL US IN WRITING 1 month prior to dropping. Otherwise you are responsible for the month’s payment. For your convenience, you may sign up for recurring payments (auto-debit) at any time. You may cancel auto-debit at any time. There is no discount nor surcharge for auto-debit.
If you are NOT on auto-debit and have NOT paid by the 30th of the month, you give implied consent for us to charge your card on file for the monthly fees.
Our Year is divided into two sessions~ The "Regular Session" Fall, Winter and Spring which runs 36 weeks from September through May and the "Summer Session" which runs 12 weeks June-August. We have class 48 weeks a year, with a week off at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break, and Summer Break.
Our "Regular Session" is divided into 9 "4-week long class-month" periods which roughly correspond with the calendar months.
Most calendar months you will have 4 classes. Some calendar months you may have 3 classes and some months you may have 5, but you pay the same amount each month. If you drop out of class, you finish on the 4th week of the "class-month". That way you will have gotten all the classes you have paid for.
WEATHER POLICY:
The Jungle Gym WILL BE OPEN regardless of any school closings or delays UNLESS WE ANNOUNCE IT ON OUR WEB SITE AND ON OUR PHONE LINE.
Rationale: Schools sometimes close due to weather conditions affecting bus routes or power issues at a school, which does not apply to the gym. Road conditions which may be bad in the morning may well be cleared by our evening class times.
IF WE CANCEL DUE TO WEATHER, we will announce it online on FACEBOOK and TWITTER and ON THE PHONE by 8:00 AM regarding our morning classes which meet between 9:00 am and noon, and BY 3:00 PM regarding our evening classes which meet between 4:45 and 8:30 pm.
In the rare case that a storm is actually coming in during the evening hours, we MAY cancel remaining classes as late as 5 or 6pm so if the weather is turning questionable during class hours, PLEASE CALL THE GYM to verify if we are open. (740) 363-7552.
WE DO NOT ADJUST, PRORATE, or REFUND for missed classes due to weather. Weather is considered an "act of God" beyond our control and we strive to make-up the days that we can but we reserve the right to simply treat cancelled days as a "wash" when necessary.
