Thank you for choosing the
Hocking Valley Youth Sport
Center. We look forward to
serving the athletic and
recreational needs of your
children. This information below
is designed to answer many
questions that students and
their parents have about taking
classes at HVGC. If you would
kike further explanation on
anything, whether or not it is
covered here, please do not
hesitate to ask an office staff
members or any of the coaches.
Tuition and Enrollment
Before a child can be considered officially enrolled in a
class, he or she must have a
registration form filled out
with the annual registration fee
paid and his or her tuition must
be paid in full for that
session. Enrollment in specific
classes is limited by the size
of the class and granted on a
first come first serve basis.
Once a student is in a class,
his or her spot is guaranteed
for all subsequent sessions, as
long as the tuition is paid by
the 7th week of the current
session. After that, students on
waiting lists will be enrolled
in that spot. Families should
note that while most of the
sessions are 8 weeks long, there
are sometimes sessions that are
7 to 9 weeks long. When this
occurs, notice will be posted
and the tuition will be adjusted
accordingly.
Attendance, Cancellation
and Vacations
Once a child is enrolled in a specific class, it is
expected that he or she will be
at that class time every week of
the session. It is a good idea
to be at the gym a few minutes
before class so that students
are ready when the class begins. In the event that a
class must be missed (either for
personal reasons or due to a
holiday or cancellations),
make-up classes may be scheduled
through the office. Students may
schedule up to two make-up
classes per session for personal
reasons. Please check the class
schedule for holiday
cancellations. Our policy
regarding inclement weather is
to cancel classes when
Lancaster City Schools cancel.
If it clears up throughout the
day, evening classes may still
go on, so please call the gym to
find out if classes are going,
in case of inclement weather.
Dress Code
Students should dress according to the standards of
their program. No jewelry should
be worn and female gymnasts
should where a leotard, and have
their hair pulled back. Tights
are optional, but should not
have feet. Male
gymnasts may wear gym shorts (no
denim, zipper, or buckles) or
sweat pants and a t-shirt that
will stay tucked in.
Socks are optional. Cheerleaders may wear a leotard
or shorts and a t-shirt that
will stay tucked in. Socks are
optional. In cooler weather, students may want to
wear a sweat shirt, which is
fine as long as they put it on
over their
regular gym clothing so that they may
take off once they warm up.
Dancers should refer to their handouts.
Advancement
Each child will progress at his or her own pace. The
instructor will inform students
and parents when it is time to
move on to the next class or
join a team. Advancement can
happen at any time, whenever a
student is ready. He or she need not wait
until the next session. If the
students or parents have
questions about progress, it
is perfectly OK to ask the
instructor. That is what they are
there for!
