Yes! We have several professional Tumble Coaches that serve as instructors for the wide variety of tumble classes that we offer on a weekly basis.

The majority of our practices are “closed” practices, as only athletes and coaches are generally allowed in the gym. On occasion, there are times when parents may be allowed in to watch as an athlete may want to show off a new skill, or the parents are invited in to see a practice or a portion of practice. Although, as a rule of thumb, practices are “closed” practices, if a parent has a particular interest in observing a specific practice, this may be arranged with the gym (but would definitely be the exception rather than the rule).

We have absolutely no tolerance for bullying at Cheer UP. If you are aware of someone who is bullying someone else or if you know someone who is being bullied, it is asked to please report it to a coach immediately. After the first instance of bullying, the bully will receive a verbal warning from a coach. The second instance of bullying will result in a one-week suspension from the gym. The third instance of bullying will result in an athlete’s termination from the program. In severe enough instances, the bullying athlete may be removed from the program immediately after the initial instance of bullying.

Practices are viewed as mandatory, with a bit of leniency offered for Summer practices (with a specified number of absences allowed in a given season). If an athlete is sick (vomiting or potentially contagious), it is expected that a call will be placed, if at all possible, to their respective coach at least 4 hours prior to practice. When missing a practice for a medical reason, athletes must bring a doctor’s note to their coach, which acknowledges the reason for missing practice as well as provides clearance for them to be able to resume practicing. Injured athletes are still required to attend all practices, competitions, and Gym events unless otherwise specified by a doctor’s note.

Competition attendance is mandatory [unless an extraordinarily significant unforeseen event occurs (death in the family)].

No! Group Privates are arranged by the gym’s booking system. When you schedule a Group Private through the system, it automatically sets up the Group; you would not be responsible for filling it with the other 3 athletes.

Not typically, though there is occasional leniency towards this in the “Fall”, in the “Winter” & “Spring” it is expected that all athletes in our competitive program are fully focused on their team(s) at Cheer UP.

If on one of Cheer UP’s competitive teams, it is expected that vacations will NOT be taken during competition season.
