Thank you for expressing an interest in Mr. Todd's gymnastics programs. Our objective is to provide a happy and safe learning experience for children of all ages and levels through fundamental movement and basic gymnastics skills.
Philosophy
The Sport of Gymnastics is one of the most fundamental and exciting of all physical activities. Basic gymnastic skills develop attributes that are perfect stepping stones for other sports and activities... flexibility, balance, strength and agility. Through proper instruction, children show progress in many key developmental areas. Gymnastics will build physical fitness, especially strength, flexibility, body awareness, coordination, confidence, creativity and fun; the kind of fun that comes from accomplishing goals, making new friends, and experiencing the excitement of learning new skills. Our purpose is to provide for children of all abilities a happy and safe learning experience in fundamental movement and basic gymnastic skills. We help children experience mental acuity as well as physical aptitude. Our Pre-School & Recreational Instructors are current or former gymnasts who are consistently educated on spotting techniques and safety issues related to gymnastics. Instructors are USA Gymnastics Safety Certified and are USA Gymnastics members. MTG will always have a staff member on site that is CPR / First Aid Certified. Team Coaches have 15 to 20 years of gymnastics experience as either competitors, instructors, coaches, or directors. Team Coaches are consistently being educated by attending seminars and clinics to keep up to date on current techniques of training.
Programs
We offer developmental programs for boys and girls ages 15 months or older. At Mr. Todd's, we feel that every child is special. Our goal is to make them feel that way about themselves and their accomplishments. Our Pre-School Program, ages 15 months to 5 years, is designed to aid in the development of eye-hand coordination and fine and gross motor skills. The main objective is for each child to have fun while becoming confident in their physical and social abilities while learning fundamental gymnastics skills. The Recreational Program is for boys and girls 6 years of age to young adults. We continue to reinforce gymnastics skills through safe, fun, progressive teaching. Intermediate and Advanced Classes are designed for the recreational gymnasts who have accomplished most fundamental skills and are ready for more intense training and structure in order to learn to their potential. (Upon Coaches Approval) Tumbling Classes are designed for cheerleaders, dancers or acrobats, with the use of the floor and trampolines. Students take this class to enhance their tumbling skills or just for the enjoyment of tumbling itself. Adult Classes are available for ages 16 and up to improve flexibility, strength, and to learn or improve gymnastics skills. Pre-Team and ALL Team Programs are offered to students by invitation only. Other Special Activities include Birthday Parties, Clinics, Date Nights, Summer Day Programs and Classes!

Policies
Membership/Registration Fee
Membership registration is $40 for a single student and $60 per family and is due at the time of initial sign up. If a second child signs up later, then the difference is due at sign up. The registration is good for one year from the time of sign up. Membership/Registration entitles you as a member to sign up for classes during the closed enrollment period as long as you are still enrolled in that session. Once you take a session off you need to wait until open registration begins to sign up your child. With the registration fee it also entitles you to discounts on other activities in the gym. PLEASE NOTE: Membership/Registration is not refundable under any condition.
Session Tuition
Tuition is the cost of each child's class for one class per week, based on an twelve week session. The session dates vary year to year based on the calendar. Tuition payment is due, in full, at sign up for each session. No spot will be held without 50% payment. A $30 fee will be charged to any returned check. Tuition for sign-ups done mid session will be prorated for that session and that session only, or you have the option of making up classes. Please try to make your payment at the office so that we may check to see if you have any outstanding balance or credit. If a receipt is required, please ask. If you cancel from a session before it begins, then you are entitled to a 50% refund or credit for that session. If you cancel once a session has started, then no refunds or credits will be given.
Session Policies
To continue the same class for the next session, you must enroll during the closed registration period. If you miss it, there is no guarantee of a spot in that session, even if you are a member. To change a class for the next session, you must re-enroll in the class you are currently in. Once open registration begins, you may transfer to another day and time depending upon availability. It is the parents' responsibility to be aware of sign up dates, session start and end dates, and gym closings. This information is posted around the gym and on the web page for your convenience. NOTE: We hope that all students will continue throughout the entire season. If you decide not to return to a class, and do not make any proven attempt to contact us, then we have no choice but to assume that you will not be returning and can not guarantee a spot in the next session.

Your young gymnast will develop many Some of the physical qualities that you will see develop in your young gymnast will be: strength, flexibility, endurance, coordination, explosive power, agility, balance, and grace.

Developmental Program
This program consists of Level 3, Level 4, Level 5, Level 6, Level 7, Level 8, Level 9 and Level 10 competition. We will most likely start the athletes off in our pre-team program, this is for people who love gymnastics, want to compete and are very committed.
Pre Team
This developmental program is designed to introduce competitive level skills and routines to athletes using USAG Level 1, 2, and 3 skills. Class structure and discipline is gradually increased through the year to simulate a competitive team workout. Athletes participate in an end of the year show each June where they showcase the skills & routines they have learned. Athletes are required to train 4 hours each week. (by Invitation Only).
Developmental Program Levels 3-5
Athletes train and compete Compulsory USAG Levels 3-5 skills and routines. This is an athlete's first introduction to the competitive experience and all athletes compete compulsory routines on vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise.

Athletes train up to 18 hours each week.
Xcel
The Xcel Program is meant to challenge each athlete's limits and abilities by providing enjoyable, yet challenging, practices and competitions. The Xcel program allows for gymnasts who are progressing faster in some areas, such as floor and beam, to continue to progress at this excelled pace but to continue to work on the other events. This keeps athletes from becoming bored with repetitious routines or to find themselves competing skills they are not yet mentally ready to compete. The Xcel program is flexible to the needs of athletes who may train in multiple sports or have many outside hobbies & activities. Athletes train from 6 hours to 16 hours per week depending on their level.

Platinum is the fourth division in the Xcel Program. In this level we are building off of older skills, new skills are getting harder, and hours increase.
Diamond
Diamond is the fifth and final division within the Xcel program, here we find a wide variety of skills placed within ones routine.
Boys Team
Our program consists of Level 4, through Level 7 which are split up into 2 divisions (division 1 & division 2) depending on skills. Level 8, through Level 10 only consist of 1 division. We will most likely start the athletes off in our pre-team program.
