🏝 Plan for Summer Classes
- Summer registration begins Monday, April 19.
- Call 217.224.8491 to register over the phone.
- Summer session is 10 weeks running June 1 – August 9.
☑ Evaluation Week
Evaluation Week is happening now! It’s a great opportunity for coaches and parents to celebrate the progress of athletes!
Each athlete receives a written evaluation from their coach that recommends a class for the next session. Class instructors use a standardized list of skills for each level to see what skills your child has accomplished this session. If your child has mastered all the skill standards they will move up to the next level class.
🎂 Book Your Birthday Party Early
Who doesn’t want to flip around on their birthday!? Be sure to plan ahead, however. Gem City’s birthday party slots are filling up about six weeks in advance. We are overwhelmed by the demand to rent our facility, and we THANK YOU for the support! Here are a few more details.
