You will only be notified if you don’t receive your first choice. Rising Stars Gymnastics Academy reserves the right to close classes due to lack of interest. Some classes may be a combination of levels. A parent or guardian must complete a membership form before your child can participate in class. Any medical conditions should be brought to the attention of the coach each session.
