Frequently Asked Questions
What is the commitment and workout schedule for the team?
Our full year team is a year round commitment. Performance/competition season runs from November-April. Teams
work out 2 days per week. In addition, each athlete is required to attend a tumbling class once a week. If your athlete
is selected as a flyer, they must attend Flight School. Failure to attend can result in replacement or position change.
Extra practices may be scheduled if the coaching staff feels it is necessary. We make every effot to give at least one
week notice, but in some cases that is not possible. All members are expected to be present at any extra practices that
are scheduled.
Each child is placed in a tumbling class based on their age and tumbling level. As they continue to grow and improve
throughout the year, they can move to a different tumbling class and their schedule may change.
When do I find out my team placement and practice schedule?
You will be emailed your team placements no later than Monday, May 11th. Practice schedules will be emailed shortly
after, no later than Tuesday, May 12th. Practices begin Monday, May 18th. In order to attend the first practice, you
must have your first tuition payment (May has been prorated to $75) and packet information turned in.
How are teams formed at tryouts?
Athlete placement is done in the best interest of the child, the team, and the Fusion All-Star Program. The decisions of
the coaching staff are final. We do our best to match up similar style skills; however, there may be athletes who
contribute in crucial ways other than tumbling. When forming a team, all positions must be filled in order to have a
successful season.
Can team placement change during the year?
Changes in level can be made at the discretion of the staff at any time. It is at the discretion of the staff to move
participants to different teams for any reason, which includes but it not limited to need on another team, team skill not
being met, or excessive absences.
What is a cross-over participant?
A cross-over participant is an athlete who performs, competes, and practices with more than one team. Some of your
athletes may be asked to be cross-over participates at try-outs or sometime throughout the year. It is not mandatory to
be a cross-over participant, and if asked, you have the right to refuse. An athlete is limited to competing on only two
Fusion teams. The coaches will choose which two teams your athlete can participate on.
The monthly tuition for a cross-over participant remains the same and you do NOT get an extra tumbling class. You will
have to pay more fees in competition costs. Typically this cost is about $300-$350 more depending on which teams
your athlete crosses over to.
Does Fusion All-Stars offer fundraising?
We do offer some fundraisers throughout the year to help keep costs down. These fundraisers are not mandatory.
