Texas Twisters Policies

Registration, Enrollment, and Withdrawal from Classes:

                Students may enroll at any time but is subject to class availability.

                Tuition is billed on a monthly basis and is based off an average of 4 classes a month.

                Tuition is pro-rated for athletes that enroll in the middle of the month.

                Enrollment is ongoing once enrolled. For information on withdrawal, please refer to the Policies and Procedures tab. 


Waiver Forms:

             Texas Twisters must have a signed Waiver and Release of Liability Form for every child who enters the gym.


Dress Code:

                Girls: A leotard or unitard allow the best instruction possible. If a leotard is not available, a form fitting t-shirt and shorts will work. No jewelry allowed (stud earrings are permitted). Hair should be ties back in a secure ponytail, braids or bun prior to every class.

                Boys: Shorts and a t-shirt/tank top allow for the best instruction possible. Clothes should be free of zippers and multiple buttons and should be tight-fitting. Baggy clothes will get in the way and prevent coaches from being able to adequately spot skills. Long hair must be tied back.

Note: Gymnasts are not permitted to wear jeans, skirts, dresses, or pants with zippers, buttons, or snaps. All students must have bare feet. Gymnastics shoes are optional. No street shoes are allowed on the gym floor. All street clothes and belongings should be left in the cubbies provided at the entrance to the gym. Valuables should be left at home. Texas Twisters is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Write your child's name in every article of clothing!


Spectator Policy:

               Due to insurance restrictions, no one is allowed in the gym before class without an instructor. Siblings and friends that are not enrolled in class must remain outside the gym and must be supervised by an adult. When class is over, athletes must leave the gym. The coach will need to start the next class and cannot be held responsible to supervise. Parents are not allowed in the gym and must remain in the viewing area downstairs or the upstairs balcony at all times. There is also no photography or videotaping allowed unless it is of your own child.


Food and Drinks:

            For safety gum chewing is prohibited in the training area. No food is allowed in the gym. 


Drop-Off & Pick-Up:

             In order to ensure your child is warmed up properly, please arrive on time to your scheduled class. Athletes should not arrive more than 10 minutes before class and must be supervised until class begins. Classes start on time because the coach needs all the time available to complete the class. Texas Twisters takes every precaution to ensure the safety of your child. Therefore, we ask parents to be as diligent as possible to ensure children are picked up on time. We understand there are times that circumstances beyond control will cause you to run a few minutes late. Accordingly, Texas Twisters will extend the courtesy of supervising your child behind the front desk for an extra five minutes after his/her activity is finished.

Behavior: Good behavior must be used at all times. Gymnasts displaying disorderly conduct before or during class will be asked to sit out of the class. In the extreme case that a preschool child is shy or frightened, please communicate with his/her coach to find a solution.


Allergies and Medical Conditions:

             Texas Twisters happily accepts any child regardless of allergies or medical conditions. We ask that if your child has any sort of special needs, you let the front desk know. You MUST let us know so the coach knows of the potential issue. If your child is sick/injured and cannot participate in his/her gymnastics classes and must be unenrolled; please alert the front desk and provide a note from the doctor stating the sickness/ injury, date of sickness or injury and the doctor's signature. At that time, your child will be dropped from his/her registered activity and you will be issued a credit from the date you present Texas Twisters with the doctor's note. Alternatively, if you wish to have your child continue in his/her current gymnastics class, he/she will remain enrolled (so the slot can be held) but credits or refunds will not be given for missed classes.


Open Wound Policy:

  • All cuts and abrasions must be covered with a band-aid and athletic tape.
  • The instructor must be notified prior to class of the wound.
  • If a child has a wound that may reopen with activity, please keep the child home until healed.

Inclement Weather:

Please check the Texas Twister’s Facebook page to check for cancellations. Texas Twisters follows Stephenville ISD’s school closures. Make-ups for inclement weather closings will be given at Texas Twister’s discretion. In the event of inclement weather on a weekend, closures will be at Texas Twister’s discretion.


Make-Up Policy:

                When a student misses a class, he or she is eligible to do one make-up class per month.

                Make-up classes are offered the last Friday of every month from 5:00-6:00 pm. For the safety of all participants, make-up classes cannot be offered during regular classes. This is disruptive to the coach and other athletes.


Holiday Closings:

                There are no make-ups for holidays. Texas Twisters follows the Stephenville ISD school calendar and will be closed during their holiday closures.  There will be holiday breaks during winter, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving. Please check the Twisters’ calendar.
