Question 1

My child has never done gymnastics before. Is that okay?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many of our athletes begin with no previous gymnastics experience. Our recreational classes are designed to meet athletes where they are and help them build skills, strength, coordination, confidence, and a love of movement.

Question 2

How do I know which class to register for?

Accepted Answer

Start with your child's age, if under the age of 5 they would enroll in our age based classes. If your athlete is over the age of 5, without previous experience, they should enroll in our Beginner class. If they are over the age of 5 with previous experience, join us at an open gym for a skills assessment to determine their class level.

Question 3

Can we try a class before registering?

Accepted Answer

Trial classes are not available at BAGC, however if you enroll in a class and it is not a great fit for your athlete or family, please reach out to bagcdirector@gmail.com.

Question 4

What if my child is nervous about starting gymnastics?

Accepted Answer

That's okay. Starting something new can feel intimidating, especially for younger athletes. Our coaches will help your child become comfortable with the gym, their classmates, and the class routine. We encourage athletes to participate at their own pace while gently challenging them to try new things. Building confidence is part of gymnastics, too.

Question 5

What should my child wear?

Accepted Answer

Athletes should wear a leotard or comfortable, fitted athletic clothing that allows them to move safely. Long hair should be pulled back, athletes participate barefoot unless otherwise directed, and jewelry should be removed before entering the gym floor.

Question 6

What should my child bring?

Accepted Answer

A labeled water bottle and a willingness to try something new. Please leave food, gum, toys, electronics, and valuables at home.

Question 7

Does my child need to be potty trained?

Accepted Answer

Athletes participating independently in our recreational gymnastics classes must be fully potty trained and able to use the restroom independently. Diapers and pull-ups are not permitted in independent-participation classes.

Question 8

How early should we arrive for class?

Accepted Answer

Plan to arrive about 5 to 10 minutes early, especially for your first visit. This gives your athlete time to use the restroom, put belongings away, and be ready when the coach calls the class onto the floor.

Question 9

Where do athletes go when they arrive?

Accepted Answer

Athletes should wait with their parents in the lobby until their coach invites them onto the gym floor.  Please do not allow children to enter the training area or use equipment before class begins.
