  Can I stay in the gym/classroom with my twirler?
During the first week of classes, parents of students ages 3-6 are welcome to bring twirlers into the baton gym at the beginning of class. 
Following the first week of classes, once your child has had a chance to adjust to his/her environment, we ask that you please refrain from sitting inside the gym.  We find the twirlers are less distracted and pay more attention to the Coach when parents are not in the room. 

  What if my child doesn't like their class.  Can I get a refund?
No refund will be awarded after 2 weeks of the start of the session.
 
  Is my twirler ready for Pre-Competitive?
Evaluations are completed by Coaches.  Coaches will consult with both twirler and parent on moving up to the Pre-Competitive Level.
