Question 1

What is the $200 Fundraising Bond?

Accepted Answer

This year, Selects will run two Cash Calendar fundraisers . The fundraising bond of $200 is paid in advance at the time of registration.

Families will receive calendars to sell in October and March, and can recover the full $200 by participating in these sales. Proceeds from one of these fundraisers will directly support the purchase of new equipment.

The Tots/Preschool programs will only participate in the October fundraiser, resulting in a $100 Fundraising Bond

Question 2

What should I expect with the Tots program moving off-site?

Accepted Answer

Our Tots Active Start Program brings the fun and excitement of gymnastics to a convenient off-sitelocation where young children can develop fundamental movement skills through a mix of coach-led instruction and exploration. Participants will explore a variety of equipment including tumbling mats, balance beams, and two quality training bars, amongst other gymnastics equipment that encourages climbing, jumping, rolling, and creative movement. Additional small apparatus and specialty equipment will rotate regularly from our main gymnastics facility to keep things fresh, providing new challenges and learning opportunities throughout the season.

Due to increasing demand and limited space within our current facility, our Tots programming has been transitioned to an off-site location to ensure participants continue to receive a high-quality, safe, and engaging experience. This approach allows us to maintain appropriate class sizes, provide adequate equipment access, and support optimal movement and exploration for our youngest athletes. Off-sitedelivery will remain our solution as we work toward securing a larger, long-term facility that can better accommodate the growth of our programs and community.
