  • What is the difference between Gymnastics and Tumbling?
    Gymnastics is a sport where athletes perform turns, leaps, flips, and handstands. These moves are carried out on a variety of specialized equipment. Women perform these moves on the vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise. Men perform these moves on the floor exercise, pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars and horizontal bar. Tumbling is a form of gymnastics performed without any specialized equipment. Stunts like backflips, handsprings, somersaults, and tucks are shown on the floor sometimes using mats for extra cushioning. Tumbling is seen in gymnastics in the floor exercise, but tumbling does not feature the same dancing elements (turns, leaps, etc.) as in floor gymnastics routines. Many cheerleading squads require experience in tumbling, as many of the routines involve backflips and other floor tricks. Don't know if you should pick Gymnastics or Tumbling? We always recommend starting with gymnastics, then going to a tumbling class if it's not your thing!
  • What is your class cancellation/hazardous weather policy?
    In the event The Zone management decides that the weather will not permit safe driving conditions, we will close immediately.

In the event that weather closings become excessive, makeup days will be provided, but will be offered as staff schedules allow. In the event of any closing, you will be notified via email.
  • How do we communicate with you outside of class?
    Great communication between the coaches, students and parents is vital to the successful development of your child. All of our classes are spaced out by a few minutes to give you a chance to directly ask your coach anything important. Need to know information will be sent to you via email. Please check your spam/junk/trash folders and add office@thezonemtv.com to your contact list to not miss any of these emails as we EMAIL EVERYTHING!
