Athlete Support Hours
We have amazing parents! Many LOVE to use their talents and be involved in their children’s gymnastics. Our Athlete Support Hour system has one of the lowest parent involvement commitment of any reputable gym. This helps offset the fees for running a competitive program. Parents assist with running competitive related competitions, organize fundraisers and contribute to the overall program spirit that helps their child-athlete thrive! It is for this reason that competitive gymnasts can receive such reasonable training fees, as low as $5.00 per hour! Parents are encouraged to get involved at All Star and contribute to the TEAM spirit that helps promote a positive and encouraging environment. Parents are able to choose their level of involvement.
