We understand that children have a great deal of energy and that the gym is an excellent place for them to release it in a positive and productive way. To maintain a safe, respectful, and effective learning environment, all students are expected to follow these general behavior guidelines.

​

During Instruction

 

While coaches are demonstrating techniques, students are expected to sit along the wall, remain attentive, and watch the instruction. Techniques will be demonstrated several times, and coaches will provide additional help as students begin practicing.

​

During Drilling and Live Training

 

During drilling and live training, students must remain with their assigned partner and stay within their designated training area. Running or wandering around the mat is not permitted because it can create a safety risk for students who are actively practicing or rolling.

​

Focus and Classroom Behavior

 

We recognize that children have different attention spans and learning needs. Our coaches will always make a reasonable effort to redirect students, keep them engaged, and help them participate successfully.

However, if a student continues to disrupt the class after repeated coaching and redirection, the student may be asked to sit out for the remainder of that class. This is not intended as punishment, but as a necessary step to protect the learning experience and safety of the entire group.

​

Safety and Sportsmanship

 

Intentionally hurting another student, using excessive force, or repeatedly training too aggressively will not be tolerated. A student who engages in unsafe behavior may be removed from participation for the remainder of class. Repeated or serious incidents may require additional action before the student is permitted to return.

Students are expected to treat their teammates and coaches with respect, demonstrate self-control, and practice good sportsmanship at all times.

​

Parent Conduct During Class

 

Parents are asked not to coach, correct, or call out instructions to their children during class. We understand that parents are trying to help; however, students generally learn and focus more effectively when instruction comes directly from the coaching staff.

Parents are encouraged to support their children from the viewing area and allow the coaches to manage instruction, behavior, and training during class.
