Question 3

How do I join the competitive program and what is required once I join?

Accepted Answer

Our Pre-Competitive and Competitive teams are invitation-only.

When enrolling in a recreational class, you may request the Head Coach to assess your child. The coach will observe the gymnast during the class before making a decision.

Tryouts are held each spring, providing gymnasts the opportunity to sign up, visit the gym, and be evaluated for our competitive program.

Competitive gymnasts are required to participate in at least 3 competitions each year, in addition to our own competition and provincials (for a total of 5). They must also purchase a competition bodysuit and track jacket. Pre-Competitive gymnasts are not required to purchase these suits but have the option to do so.

The first couple of weeks of class, kids are grouped by age or known level. They will be then assessed and possibly moved to different group to match their skill level.

Requests to be with friends can be noted but may not be accommodated.
