The last (45) minutes of your booking is for gifts/food in the lobby (party) area. The room will be set up and cleaned for you by our staff.

For safety reasons, parents and guardians must stay off of all equipment. Our coaches are certified to spot gymnastics skills and are the only person(s) who are authorized to do so at Flipside Gymnastics – this rule also applies to all first aid procedures. Sorry, no exceptions.

You may bring any type of food or drink you wish with the exception of alcoholic beverages and peanut/nuts products.

After 3 verbal warnings from the coaches, all discipline problems are to be resolved by the attending parent(s) and the child must be removed from the floor/equipment area. The parent will be responsible for the child from that point forward.

Children under (3) years of age or children with special needs must have an attendant within
arms-reach at all times.
