Effective July 1, 2020, Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara (GIGSB) has established new spectator viewing protocols and procedures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of these measures, GIGSB will live stream all gymnastics lessons, classes, and practice in the Girls Inc. gym via Zoom.

These new procedures allow GIGSB to:

1) Comply with USA Gymnastics regulations requiring the ability for parents and guardians to maintain visual contact with their child at all times and
2) Ensure social distance is maintained inside the gym according to the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department guidelines that restrict the number of people in the gym.

Access to Zoom will be restricted to parents and/or guardians of children in each class and participants will be monitored by Girls Inc staff at all times. No content will be recorded on Zoom. I am the legal parent/guardian of the registered child. I hereby acknowledge that Girls Inc. will be live streaming all gymnastics programming until further notice.

I understand that I will need to notify GIGSB in writing if any changes to my situation occur that will impact this acknowledgement and consent.

I understand that any changes in consent will apply from the date of receipt of that written notification moving forward and cannot be applied retroactively.

I am at least 18 years of age and am fully competent to sign this Acknowledgement and Consent.

Equipment: Use of equipment or play in the pit is not permitted without the supervision of a Girls Inc. Gymnastics Instructor.

Tardy Policy: Children who are more than 10 minutes late will not be allowed to participate in class for that day due to safety and liability reasons resulting from missing warm-up time. For gymnasts who are less than ten minutes late, but are continually late, they will not be allowed to participate in class upon a fourth tardy, as late arrivals are very disruptive for the instructors and the other gymnasts.

Before Class: Children are to remove their shoes and socks and wait in the cubby area until the Gymnastics Instructor indicates it is the start of class.

During Class: All children are expected to listen to their instructor when they are talking. This ensures that all children are able to clearly hear the directions provided. Children are expected to participate in the class for the entire class period. If a child needs to use the restroom, it is very important they let the instructor know, at which time the child will be excused to use the restroom.

At All Times: Girls Inc. asks that all gymnasts follow our four agreements which are for all participants to be respectful, be responsible, stay safe, and have fun. Instructors will review these agreements with gymnasts at the start of each class. The instructors are here to help your child be the VERY BEST they can be.

Stretching and Conditioning: Children are expected to stretch and condition as directed by their instructor. Stretching and conditioning are vital to a gymnast's progress and helps prevent injuries.

After Class: Each instructor will notify their gymnasts when class is over, at which time it is appropriate for gymnasts to return to the cubby area to put their shoes and socks back on.

Observers: Parents, siblings & visitors are NOT permitted on equipment at ANY time. Parents and/or caregivers are responsible for keeping children off equipment before, during or after class. Bleachers are provided for your convenience if you choose to stay and watch class.

Parking: Never park in the "NO PARKING ZONE" this area must remain clear at all times! Plenty of street parking is available. Please do not use the "no parking zone" to load or unload.

These expectations have been established to ensure that all who participate in the Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara Gymnastics Program may do so in a safe environment and may enjoy a positive and enriching experience. By signing the below, I agree that my child and I will adhere to the policies set out by Girls Inc. of Greater Santa Barbara Gymnastics.

Registration: Registration for classes is on a first-come first-served basis. Once you enroll in a class in a given season (Summer, Fall, Winter/Spring) you will be automatically registered for the same class for each month within that season thereafter. You must re-enroll for each new season. Registration fees are charged upon initial registration and collected once each calendar year.

Payments: All payments are due by the 5th of the month. All monthly fees are prorated (closures, holidays, extra days/weeks within the month). A child may be dropped from their class if payment is not received. Payments for camps are due upon registration. Spaces for classes or camp will not be reserved until payment is received.

Refunds and Credits: Refunds and credits will not be given for the days that child(ren) are absent except in cases of extreme emergency. By signing the Admissions Agreement, you are reserving space for you child even when your child is absent. Parents must contact the Gymnastics Director to request exception for this policy based on emergency situations.

Drop Policy: Written notice submitted a minimum of 10 days prior to a new month beginning is required to drop a class without being charged. Any child who drops without written notice will be charged the weekly rate of their respective class. A child who has not attended class for two consecutive weeks and has an unpaid account will be dropped for non-payment.

Late Pick-Up: For each ten minutes or portion thereof that you pick up your child past the end of his/her gymnastics class or camp you are subject to be charged $5. If needed, we will begin calling those listed on your emergency form to come and pick up your child. If after 30 minutes we have not been able to get in contact with anyone to pick up your child, we may need to contact the police.

Discipline Policy: Girls Inc. promotes self-discipline and establishes rules that are sensible and helpful in making each child feel safe and secure. For minor incidents of misbehavior an instructor will give a verbal warning and remind the child of expected behavior. In the event that a child is displaying behavior that is deemed unsafe to themselves or to others, the gymnastics staff will contact the parent/guardian and immediate pick-up may be necessary.

I agree to all rules stated above and that I'm in receipt of the Girls Inc. Gymnastics "Code of Conduct".
