Frequently Asked Questions
How do I pay for classes?
Classes must be paid in full at time of registration. Payment options are online credit card, cash and e-transfer. Registration is not complete until payment is made.
What should my child wear for class?
Any athletic clothing is perfectly fine. T-shirt, tank tops, sports bras, shorts, leggings, or tight-
fitting pants are some options.
No shoes. No hoodies with strings. Socks can be worn.
No jewelry is allowed, and long hair (passed the shoulders) must be tied back.
What if I miss a class or class is cancelled?
There are no refunds, credits or makeup classes for missed lessons except in the case of medical or extenuating circumstances.
We rarely cancel classes, but in the event that this needs to happen due to road conditions, or an unforeseen emergency we email all of our members notifying you of the cancellation. *Please make sure your email is up to date. We will also post on Facebook and Instagram.
Are your classes insured?
Yes! All athletes are insured through G.O. (Gymnastics Ontario) when their membership is paid. The one time G.O. fee per year MUST be paid in full in order to participate. This fee will insure each athlete from injury. For more information, please contact the club. G.O. Fees are not refundable.
What are your term dates?
Term dates will depend on the time of year. Sessions run for 14 weeks.
Are your teachers qualified?
YES! This is mandatory! We take great pride in all of our coaches. Coaches are certified through NCCP (National Coaching Certification Program), which is delivered by a highly qualified coach with Gymnastics Ontario.
Can we still join your classes after the term has started?
Yes, with discretion. We would highly recommend that each athlete start at the beginning of each session rather than in the middle of the session. This gives the athlete time to settle in with the other members at the same time, and receive proper instruction. Starting later can be difficult on the athlete as they may feel pressured to learn. The goal with our club is for each athlete to feel fulfilled with their instruction rather than overwhelmed to know all skills.
Can parents watch?
Certainly! We ask parents and children NOT in class to sit in the viewing area. Please DO NOT walk on the purple floor, as this is for the athletes and coaches only.
Thank you for your understanding.
What is your ratio of children to coaches?
We like to keep the ratio 6:1 (athlete to coach). We try not to go over the 7 athlete per class. This allows the coach to focus on each athlete, and instruct according to their abilities, skills and needs.
