I understand the mask requirement for adults and athletes, but Im beyond furious that I just walked in and was told I couldnt watch my athlete practice because I have my FOUR MONTH OLD infant with me who cannot be masked so he isnt allowed in the building.

Our daughter has been attending Xplore tumbling for 4 years and I can't say enough good things about this school. Its a small local business. The owner, Coach Michelle is professional and genuinely cares about the safety of her students on and off the mats! It is a fun atmosphere in both group lessons and private lessons. Our daughter loves being a part of this school and because of her attending classes, she has become much more confident in herself.

Anyway we were recommended to Xplore and we soon ended our time with Dupage Cheer. Weve been with Xplore for 2 and some years Coach Ariana and Michelle are wonderful, you can
