No food, chewing gum, or drinks except water & sports drinks, (i.e.Gatorade) is allowed in workout areas at any time. To insure the gym is safe and clean, we request that all food be consumed at the tables provided in the common area outside the gym.
The bathroom facilities are located on the opposite side of the Ranch 99 food court. Please make sure your child has had the opportunity to use the bathroom prior to class. Coaches cannot stop their instruction or escort students to the restroom during class time. Students who need to use the restroom will be referred to their parents who will be responsible for escorting their child to the facilities. Gymnasts should be properly dressed when going to the restroom. Girls should wear shorts or pants over their leotards and all students should wear shoes or slippers when leaving the gym to use the restrooms.
Students are not allowed on the floor or on any of the equipment in either the main gym or the pre-school area until their designated coach begins instruction at the students scheduled class time.
Parents are responsible for their children before and after class. Younger children should not be left unsupervised at any time. It is imperative that a parent or responsible adult be available to pick up your child at the end of class, as the HITS coaches are not able to supervise students after classes are concluded.
Coaches
Our coaches are highly qualified USA Gymnastics safety-certified coaches with many years of coaching experience. To ensure proper coaching instruction, we request that parents not interfere with your child's class time by communicating with your child or "coaching" from the viewing area. This interference can disrupt the coaches instruction of the entire class.
Policies
Tuition is due on the first day of each month. Tuition payments can be made in cash, by check or credit card in the gym. After the 7th of the month, a $10.00 late fee will be assessed. Checks and cash can be dropped in the "HITS Payment Box" attached to the desk. (Non-payment of tuition and fees may result in your child not being allowed in class.)

For families with more than two children enrolled at HITS, there is a maximum of $100.00 in membership fees. (This $100.00 maximum applies to recreational gymnasts only)
We allow rec students to make up missed classes within the 3 month session in which the class was missed. Please call the gym in advance to schedule a make up class. Every effort will be made to ensure you child has the opportunity to make-up a missed class. Please DO NOT walk in and assume your child can do a make up in a similar class. The class may already be full, and we are committed to keeping our student/coach ratios in line.
Do you want to switch to another class time or day? Please check with the office personnel to see if there is a comparable class that has openings. You must either complete a "transfer form" available at the front desk, or submit a handwritten note to the office to switch your child to another class.
***Note*** Evaluation testing is done during the last week of each three month session. At this time, the coaches will refer each gymast to the appropriate class in which to sign up for in the following session.To ensure you are not charged tuition for the following month, please fill out a "Drop" form, available from the office, or submit your own handwritten note. This should be provided at least 10 days before the end of the month. This form can also be dropped in the "HITS Payment Box."
