The St. Mary s Gymnastics program offers two components of gymnastics; recreation gymnastics classes, and a competitive team program. In this guide you will find information about both the recreation and team programs. Please take the time to review the information that best meets your gymnastics interests and needs. Gymnastics Center A FDR Blvd. Lexington Park, MD Our mission is to build on the premise that each child is given the opportunity to reach their personal best, physically, socially, and emotionally, in a well-planned progressive program.

7 Team Practices Competitive Team Program The Competitive program is a year round commitment with fees based on a monthly tuition. The competitive program is comprised of two different competitive teams. We offer USAG (United States Association of Gymnastics) and Mason Dixon teams. Our USAG team program offers a pre-team (noncompetitive level) and competitive levels 3-9. Mason Dixon League offers competitive levels A-D and is based on ages. The levels within Mason Dixon have their equivalent with the USAG levels. In the Mason Dixon league gymnasts typically have less meets throughout the competitive season. The competitive season typically runs from November/December to April or May depending on the competitive program and level. How to Become Part of the Competitive Program Team tryouts are held each year (typically April or May) for any recreation gymnasts that are eligible (based on skills obtained in the recreation program) and willing to become part of the competitive program. Recreation parents of those gymnasts who are recommended by the coaching staff will receive a invite letter to the tryouts. There is no obligation to be a part of the competitive program. Competitive gymnasts from another gym moving into the area or desiring to change gyms, may also apply to be part of the competitive program. In this case an evaluation can be set up with the coaching staff to determine the competitive level that the gymnast will be a part of. Once a gymnast has been evaluated and has been approved to be in the team program, parents would decide if they want to continue pursuing the team program and which competitive team program they desire. When a gymnast has been accepted into the team program they must register for the team (USAG or Mason Dixon) they desire with the gymnastics main office. At this time an account will be set up and monthly tuition payments would begin. The exact date of first payment will depend on the start date for the gymnast. Please note that a new registration form must be filled out each year for a team gymnast. The practice schedule is based on the competitive team program and levels. The higher the level the more weekly practice hours there would be for a gymnast. Your gymnast depending on their level, will practice 2-4 times per week at our gym. Our coaching staff is USAG certified and have completed all necessary safety certified and criminal background checks to work with your child in their endeavor to pursue the sport of gymnastics. You may always approach the coach for progress reports, we just ask that you do not approach the coach during practice hours. Please see the coach before or after practice or you may set up a meeting if needed to discuss your child s progress. It is important to understand that your child s progress is related to the frequency of making practice. Please make every attempt to have your child at practice when the team meets. Too many missed practices may prevent your child from competing in a meet. Finally, practice days and times are contingent upon the availability of space, our competitive coaching staff, and the number of team members participating. Team Meets The number of team meets for each year is determined by the coaching staff for both Mason Dixon and USAG meets. It is important to note that a gymnast does not have to attend every meet scheduled. We do encourage however, for the gymnast to make as many as possible that are scheduled. Competitive meets will involve traveling to other gymnastics facilities typically within the state of Maryland. There are occasions when a meet will be in a surrounding state. Our gym usually hosts one Mason Dixon meet per year. The organizing and working of this meet is handled by the volunteer parent booster club. (see booster club). Finally there are fees associated with participating in meets in addition to the team monthly tuition. (see fees) Mason Dixon typically pays for the fees for all of the meets up front before the season starts. USAG meet fees are paid before each meet. 7

9 Annual Tuition Each gymnast is selected by the coaching staff at a level that is related to their ability and commitment, and an annual tuition is established for each of those competitive levels. The payment of the annual tuition is made on a monthly basis. The fee can be made one time for the whole year. (see current tuition schedule). It is important to understand that it is an annual fee. 1st of the month - payments due. Payments made after the 1st of the month will incur a $10 late fee. The 5th of the month is the last day to reconcile the account. Payments must be made by close of business on the 5th of the month which includes the account balance and a $10 late fee. If payment has not been made by the 5th of the month, the child is removed from the team roster and re-registration will be required with the account arrears pain in full and one month in advanced paid. Example: payments made after November 5th will require a payment for November and December. A maximum of (2) late payments after the 5 th of the month will be allowed. If the third payment is attempted after the 5 th of the month, the gymnast will no longer be allowed to participate for the remainder of the season. Re-registration will be permitted at the beginning of the next season (which starts in July) as long as all fees in arrears are paid in full.

There will be an exception for an excused absence based on documented medical injury that requires a gymnast to be unable to practice or perform for minimum of two weeks. The gymnastics office must receive a dated doctor s note within one week after the injury to request a start date of an excused absence. Gymnasts may return to their workout schedule once they obtain a note releasing them from the doctor s care, which must indicate in writing that participating in gymnastics is permitted.

Pro-rated fees will be applied In the event the gym is closed for unseen reasons (other than named above) for a week or more or, for injury/illness related incidents accompanied by a Doctor s note within one week of the injury or illness. The injury or illness must prevent a gymnast from participating for 2 weeks or more before a pro-rate would be granted. How Do Competitive Gymnasts Advance to the Next Level? A gymnast advances to the next level by scoring out at any given meet during the season. A total combined score has been set in order to advance to the next level. Once a gymnast reaches that score or higher in a meet they are eligible to move to the next level. Advanced receives final approval from the Head Coach and Program Coordinator.
