Programs

IKONZ & HOT SHOTS Competitive Girl's Team (By Try-Out)
We offer classes for USAG competitive Levels 4-10. Each level requires a different amount of training hours. Our coaches teach new tricks by spotting safely and confidently while making positive corrections. We believe in teaching progression in skills so the gymnast can be ready to quickly and smoothly transition into the next level.

MINI HOT SHOTS Recreational Compulsories (By Try-Out)
This is our Girl's Pre-Team class. It is geared toward our competitive team and for gymnasts who want to eventually compete. These gymnasts have to be tested and complete certain skills before they can move into this class.

LIL' AGGIES Beginning Recreational (Ages 5 & up, girls and boys)
This class is for first time or semi-new gymnasts. It is also for gymnasts who do not have the desire to compete. Our coaches teach many skills and include all four events; vault, bars, beam, and floor. Safety is always a high priority. Our class sizes are small and we will never have more than seven gymnasts to one coach.

FLIP FLOPS Tumbling (Ages 7 & up, girls and boys)
Our tumbling class is an hour of just tumbling skills on the floor. Tumblers will learn the basics of tumbling through to any advanced skill they want to learn. This class includes front and back tumbling. Our gym boasts in-ground pits that will help to better learn and teach many skills.

TINY TYTANS Preschool (Ages 2-5, girls and boys)
Children will learn coordination and listening skills while enjoying gymnastics. This is a theme based program that will help spark imagination and teach basic preschool principles.

Adult Tumbling Club
This club is offered to anyone, age 17 or older, with an interest in learning gymnastics or tumbling skills. Whether you have previous experience as a gymnast, tumbler, cheerleader, or have no experience at all, this class is geared toward fun and safe learning for adults at any level. Since our gym is located on USU campus, classes consist of mostly USU students, and is paid for on a semester-basis, not monthly. Sign up for this class by semester.

Competitive Teams
Tytans provides USA Gymnastics competitive girls' teams for qualified gymnasts from Level 4 through 10. Competitions are held within Utah as well as throughout the West and the United States. The length of the team practice depends on the skill level of each gymnast. Tytans encourages spectators to come and see our home meets.

Summer Programs
The excellent programs provided to students, continues throughout the summer. We provide classes Monday through Friday mornings and afternoons for ages 2 years through adult.

Choreography for all optional routines must be done by our choreographer. Amanda Corn-Nilson is our team choreographer. All prices can be discussed with Amanda (435) 881-0955.

Policies

Tuition Payments
Payments are due by the 10th of the month. Beginning September 1, 2009 a $25 late fee wll be applied to all late payments. The fee will be applied to your next month's tuition. Your child is enrolled in our program until we are notified that we/she is not continuing. We must be notified before the first class of the month or you are responsible for the tuition payment for that month. Any bank fees associated with checks returned to us by the bank will be your responsibility and will be billed to your account. We do NOT allow prorating. Any missed classes can be made up with advanced warning. You are paying for a spot in the class. We provide the instructors based on enrollment. Please be aware that our tuition increases annually by 5%.

Membership Fee
A yearly Non-refundable/Non-transferable fee of $30.00 must accompany each registration application. The fee is an annual fee that is due each year at the time your gymnast first registers for class (I.e. your gymnast first registers in August 2008, the registration fee is not due again until Aug 2009)

Family Discount
A 10% discount is given for any children of the same family after the first child is enrolled at the regular tuition price. This does not apply to special programs that are already discounted or to the membership fee.

Make Up Policy
It has been the continuous policy at Tytans to give NO REFUNDS FOR MISSED CLASSES.
Please make every effort to ensure your child’s attendance for each class. However, if you know your child is going to miss a class, please notify us ahead of time. We will make every attempt to find an open class as soon as possible. Your child must be currently enrolled to do make-ups and they must be completed the same month of absence. It is unfortunate but occasionally, classes are cancelled because of snow, ice, instructor illness, or any other unforeseen circumstance. It is extremely difficult to reschedule an entire class. Therefore, we request that you reschedule with a coach at your convenience based on availability. NO CREDITS WIL BE GIVEN.

Promptness
Please make every effort to arrive for class on time. Not only is this a matter of encouraging good manners and responsible behavior, but a lack of proper warm-up leads to unnecessary injuries.

Snow Days
If we are closed or are closing because of inclement weather, we will notify you by phone if possible. If you are uncertain as to whether there will be class call (435) 232-6090 or check www.tytansgymnasticsusu.com. Please remember that your class has to be rescheduled and that we do not give credits.

Attire
Preschool: We encourage a leotard for the girls and shorts and a t-shirt for the boys. No socks or shoes.
Team girls - A leotard or a tight tank top and biker shorts. T-shirts or sweatshirts may not be worn in the gym.
Hair- All hair must be pulled out of the face. Rubber band or hair ties are acceptable.

Discipline

It is the policy of Tytans Gymnastics to keep consistency in the way we handle discipline in the gym. Of course, we hope this will not have to become an issue, but we do want it to be clear to all parents and gymnasts how we will handle it if a situation were to arise. We will also be sure to notify parents of ANY discipline problems immediately.

1st Warning – Verbal Warning. We will give a verbal warning letting the gymnast know that their behavior is not acceptable.

2nd Warning – Timeout. We will give the gymnast a time-out appropriate for their age.

3rd Warning – Circuit. Where age appropriate, conditioning will be given to the gymnast that coincides with the behavior problem.

4th Warning – Call Parents. We will call the parents and notify them of the problem and ask them to pick up their gymnast from practice as soon as possible. The gymnast will be asked to write an apology letter in order to be allowed to practice again.

If further discipline is needed or this warning system repeats regularly, we will have a meeting with the gymnast, parents of the gymnast, and the coaches to discuss the matter further.
