Can I watch my child?
To provide the safest and most positive learning environment for all participants, coaches and parents; spectators are not permitted inside the gymnastics barn during class time. Children are often more focused, confident, and willing to participate when they can work independently with their coaches and classmates. Limiting traffic in the gym also helps reduce distractions, allows coaches to maintain students' attention, and supports a safe training environment. Parents are welcome to wait in the viewing barn or return at the scheduled pick-up time. Our coaches are always happy to answer any questions before or after class. We encourage you to speak with your coach if you would like an update on your child's progress. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us create a safe, focused, and enjoyable experience for every gymnast.
Where can I wait while my child is participating in gymnastics?
Our heated black barn, that is not located in the gymnastics facility is set up for parents to wait, view and hang out during the colder months. November - March
There are picnic tables and fire pit area available during the warmer months.
We have a walking path that is available to use as well.
Washroom Facilities
Washroom facilities are outside of the gymnastics barn. Your child will be asked to go with a friend from class. In the winter months, all lights on the barn and on the washrooms will be on. We will always make sure there is always a flashlight for your child to use as well.
