How
is Texas Dreams Gymnastics different from other gymnastics
programs?
Exposure
All gymnasts get exposure to our National Team Members, National
Champions, and elite athletes. These team members serve as
incredible role models while assuring parents that our programs
and coaches are capable of bringing out the best in any aspiring
gymnast.
Goals
and Journals
Athletes work with coaches to develop and work toward personal
goals and keep journals of their progress and lessons learned.
Apparatus
Coaching
This approach exposes gymnasts to different coaching styles
and coaches that excel on a particular event.
Belt
System
The belt system is the latest for gymnastics classes. Its
benefits are incredible, and we are very excited about implementing
such a great system here at our gym.
Preschool
Walls
Enclosed areas ensure a safe learning environment for younger
children while helping them maintain their focus.
Facilities
and Equipment
Our huge facility and state-of-the-art equipment, including
tumble traks and in-ground trampolines, guarantee athletes
will have every opportunity to excel.
Event Coaching
At
Texas Dreams Gymnastics you will find "Event Coaching,"
one of the greatest advancements in coaching.
Children
rotate from one event to the next while their coaches remain
at pre-determined events. This allows children to experience
different coaching styles. Event coaching also gives them
a chance to interact with our Level 10 gymnasts, who are not
only excellent athletes but act as role models with their
outstanding charisma and extensive knowledge of gymnastics.
Another
positive to event coaching is that it permits us to place
coaches on the apparatus they excel at and enjoy the most.
Safety
Rules for All Students
Your
child's safety is a big concern for us at Texas Dreams Gymnastics.
Safety rules must be followed not only by the children, but
also by the parents.
If you are late for class, stop by the office and schedule
a make-up. Children who miss warm-up will not be allowed in
class.
Children
are NOT allowed in the gym without a coach. Please keep your
child (and siblings) safe: the gym is off limits before and
after class.
Bathroom
breaks should be taken BEFORE classes. Coaches will allow
children to use the bathroom during class. If you are uncomfortable
with your child going to the bathroom by herself/himself,
please meet your child downstairs and assist her/him. Parents
are responsible for escorting children to the bathroom since
it is impossible for our coaches to leave the floor and their
class.
Jewelry is not allowed during class. (No valuable items should
be brought to the facility; we are not be responsible for
lost or stolen items.)
In order to avoid injury, please keep your child's nails short.
Hair must be out of face. All shoulder length or longer hair
must be tight - not only the front part.
No running is allowed in the EveryBody Fits facility.
Please be on time when picking up your child after class.
Coaches have back-to-back classes and will not be able to
wait with your child.
Parents are NOT allowed in the gym area. Please drop off and
pick up your child in the waiting area. If you choose to watch
the class, please go upstairs to the viewing area. If you
ever have any questions or concerns, please contact your program
director.
The
Belt System (for girls gymnastics)
The
belt system is the latest for gymnastics classes. Its benefits
are incredible, and we are very excited about implementing
such a great system here at our gym.
The
color of the lettering represents each child's level.

Children
will be awarded stripes. There will be a total of eight stripes:
| VAULT |
GREEN

| BARS |
RED

| BEAM |

| SPLITS |
PURPLE
|
| ROPE CLIMB |
GREEN
|
Children
need to wear the embroidered belt every time they come to
the gym.
When
the child meets all requirements on each individual event,
the stripe will be awarded. The stripe is not only a recognition
for completing the skills on the event, but also a tracking
system so coaches know what events need either that little
extra help or extra challenge. The Rope Stripe and Splits
Stripe are bonus stripes and are not required to move up.
When a child has all 4 event stripes, we know that she/he
is ready to move up to the next level! At that time a new
belt needs to be ordered, so your child can earn his/her new
stripes! The belt system is a great addition to our event
coaching, and belts can be ordered at the front desk. It is
a great TRACKING AND REWARDS SYSTEM!
The
Jackaloops T-Shirt System (for boys gymnastics)
The
Jackaloops T-shirt system allows parents to easily keep track
of their child's progress. As the child completes a required
skill, the gymnastics coach will check off that skill on the
actual shirt. When the child has completed all the skills
required, they are then ready to move on to the next level.
The
color of the ink on the shirt represents each child's level.
