Welcome to Gravity Cheer All Stars

A letter to our parents regarding safety from the owner:

First, we would like to thank you for bringing your children to Gravity Cheer. Our motto, since 1996, has always been SAFETY 1ST, THEN FUN, THEN BEING #1.  We are a gym that has always put the athlete first. We give every athlete our full attention regardless of age, ability, or class level. Also, our coaches are highly skilled and experienced and each of them has their very own specialty contributing to what makes our coaching staff so incredible.

Tonight, I wanted to explain some logistics.  Like your child's school, we must think about the athletes 1st. Just like your school, parents cannot just come and go throughout the school day and you cannot observe their classroom.

We love our 15,000 square foot facility, but with any building, none of them are perfect including ours.  Our parking is limited, as is our indoor space.   We do appreciate carpools. We also appreciate a quick drop off, leaving the premises and returning for pick up.  This is simply to keep the parking lot safer.  It has also been very helpful to have all drop off in front and a pick up in the rear.   

As much as we would love for there to be a viewing room, there just isn't one. We do not even have the space to create one.  The gym is full of athletes and coaches throughout the evening. The lobby, party room and locker area are 100% dedicated to the athletes and their belongings. Our lobby, where our athletes take their breaks, do their HW and eat their dinner is not an ideal location for parents to congregate.  

Another small safety issue we are finding to be more common with traffic around LI becoming worse, is athletes are showing up late to class.  If athletes are late to class, they cannot warm up appropriately and risk injury.  We will NOT allow athletes to participate in class if they miss the warm up.   Please leave earlier!

We all appreciate your cooperation in helping keep all of our spaces at Gravity safer for our athletes and coaches.  Please consider the following suggestions to help make Gravity a better place for your athlete:

*Drop off quickly in front. If your child is young and you need to get out of the car for drop off, please pull into a parking spot.

*Do not block the front entrance.

*Pick up in the rear of the building. If your child is old enough, an option is to pick up on the side street.

*Send the athletes with a back pack that zips. Outdoor shoes can be placed in the bag after they change into their cheer shoes.  Their phones can stay in their back packs and should not be left on the tables.  Jewelry can be placed in their back packs along with their jackets, sweatshirts and water bottles.  This helps keep all of their belongings in ONE spot.

*Remind them what class they are taking. Some athletes come in and they do not know what class they are here for. We can figure it out but sometimes they start in the wrong class. You can even write their class title on an index card.

Thank you again,

Gravity Cheer.
