• Reps for Teams:  UMDGC is aware that many cheer gyms and some local gymnastics teams require athletes to do reps outside of their normal team practices.  Athletes will not be allocated times to do reps within UMDGC’s class setting.  If the class organically is doing something that will count towards their reps, participants are welcome to film during the class.  But no time will be set aside for the purpose of allowing participants to complete their reps.  If the class is occurring at the end of the night, there may be time to do the reps independently.  Remember, participants of all of UMDGC’s teams and those enrolled in the highest class levels always receive free open workouts, where reps may be done without restriction.
