We are at a gym that is a great fit for us: location, community, hours, price, style.
My 8yo did a year of XB following by XS and now looking to move to JO4.
I was told that a 2.5 week vacation we booked this summer (my family lives in Europe and we aim to go every 2 years) may be a problem and prevent us from moving to JO as attendance is “strictly monitored” and summer practice is mandatory, also considering July is when all routines are learned. We are waiting to hear from the Director.
Question: is this common to have such a strict vacation/attendance policy? Should a 2.5 week vacation in July really affect placement?
We are not talking about an elite program.
I am just a bit disheartened (sad, quite honestly!) and frustrated by the reaction when I mentioned the vacation after we had been given a thumbs up about moving to level 4.
The alternative is to look into switching gyms as we’d like to enter JO now but that’s not the first choice.
Would love some feedback or guidance on whether it’s ok for me to feel a bit thrown off by this reminder of policy or whether it’s common that full attendance is expected at all times.
