Order you Enrichment Certificate for the class of your choice, then bring a hardcopy of the Enrichment Certificate to Break the Barriers. When ordering your Enrichment Certificate, please refer to the class fees listed under Session Fees. If you are still unsure of the amount you need to request, please contact us at (559) 432-6292. Students who are new to Break the Barriers must have a parent fill out the Child Liability Waiver, available online or at Break the Barriers office. Once we have the Child Liability Waiver and Enrichment Certificate, we will be able to move forward with registering your child(ren) for available classes.

Doctor’s Releases
Sometimes a doctor’s release is required to participate if a student has specific physical or medical conditions such as (but not limited to) heart conditions, epilepsy, or bone and joint issues. Please contact us if you have questions about specific medical conditions.
- Absolutely NO tummies showing (we suggest wearing a leotard or biketard underneath shorts and shirts)
- No low-cut shirts (front or back)
- No spaghetti straps (tank-style shirts must have a minimum 1inch shoulder strap)
- All shorts must have at least a 6 inch inseam (no high cut bottoms or short shorts)
- No gum
- Sweatpants okay during winter months
- Must be barefoot or wearing a gymnastics shoe
- Long hair must be tied back
Students are grouped by age and gymnastics experience, not ability level. Those who quickly master their skills progress to the next level; whereas students who need more time or adaptive equipment, receive the necessary attention required to master their skills.
To ensure a successful experience for all students at Break the Barriers, a student may be transferred to a class that is more beneficial to them at the discretion of the Director.
