In order to ensure the safety of the athletes in the class our coaches will need to assess their ability during class and get to know the class and the group dynamics. We will do this at the beginning of each session. If you want to make sure we know about an athletes personal goals please speak with the supervisor so that we can make sure the coach is aware in the first couple of weeks of class.

Groups are created based on age and level. This is also dependent on the athletes that register for the specific time slot. It is normal to have a 1-3-year age and level gap within a group. Coaches are equipped to provide challenging and modified skills for all to ensure athletes find success. In the sport of gymnastics, it is important to always review basics, and break skills down into drills which benefits all athletes.

During the weekdays older athletes typically register for the later time slots, and younger athletes at the earlier time slots.
