  • German Wheel: Know how to fasten the straps onto a wheel and move their wheel to and from storage. Must have a partner with them to spot.

  • Acrobatics and Partner Acrobatics: Cannot practice skills that require a spot if you do not have an approved spotter.

  • Must be able to put their equipment back as they found it.

• Students need to ask their teacher to test them for approval during class before signing up for Open Practice.​

• Bullying

• No mat or not the correct mat.

• Equipment or studio not returned to storage or general use.

• Teaching skills to other students.

• Not in correct dress code for the discipline that you are practicing.

• Not practicing correct technique in skills, which could cause the practitioner or others harm.
