*This includes Registration, Fundraising or Competition Fees.
Elites Gymnastics follows the CanGym program. Recreational gymnasts will work through each level and receive CanGym progress reports through their uplifter accounts in December and June. Certificates will go home with each participant in June as well.
The CanGym program includes 12 levels: Burgundy, Red, Tan, Bronze, Purple, Blue, Turquoise, Silver, Orange, Yellow, Green, and Gold.
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 a competitive bodysuit.
Athletes are grouped in the level they are registered for. Elite 1 and 2 are grouped by age. If there is more than one class at the same time, requests to be with friends can be noted, but may not be accomodated.
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.
MGA stands for Manitoba Gymnastics Association and they provide support and insurance for the their members including gymnasts, coaches and board affiliations.
An MGA fee is required with your registration. It is good from September 1 - August 31.
MGA reserves the right to raise their fee yearly. Fee + GST.
The President, Vice President, and General Manager are authorized to cancel classes in the event of severe inclement weather, competitions or events. Classes canceled for this reason will not be rescheduled. Inclement weather closures may or may not coincide with those of the Sunrise School Division. Notification will be distributed via Uplifter by 2:30 PM on the day of closure and will also be posted on our social media pages. For weekend classes, notifications will be sent at least two hours before the first scheduled class.
There are no make up classes for special events being hosted at Elites Gymnastics.
A 15% non-refundable fee will be charged for any program withdrawal to cover costs incurred through Uplifter and payment processing programs. This 15% is based on the price of the total registration fee (includes fundraising bond amount) the gymnast is registered in. The Manitoba Gymnastics Association (MGA) fee is non-refundable once the program has commenced. After the third scheduled class, refunds will not be issued without a doctor’s note.
Board Positions are available each year.
Board Members are not required to fulfill their fundraising bond but they are strongly encouraged. Being a board member is a voluntary position and will fulfill your volunteer bond.
If you are interested in joining the board, please email us at elitesgymnastics@gmail.com
