What Do I Register In?

 

For children aged 5 and under:

The program they will go into will depend on their age. They can do the program more than once if they are not old enough to move to the next program. 

Parent & Tot -18months-3yrs
This is a parented class where we have fun learning the basics of all the gymnastics apparatus; bars, beam, floor, and rings as well as the various activities done in the Parent and Tot class (experiencing songs and games, swinging, bouncing, rolling, jumping and climbing as well as hand-eye activities).
Tiny Tot - 3 yrs old
This is a transitional program for those who are ready to try a class without their parent to transition into the Tot program. It combines the fun and games of the parented classes but adds more essential skills required for the Tot program. This class participates on the bars, beam, floor, vault and rings. 
Tot- 4&5 yrs old
This class will expose the children to the gymnastics environment and teach them the basics on bars, beam, floor, vault and rings. This program is designed to build gross motor development, coordination and social skills. NO previous experience necessary!
Jr Rec - 5 years old
These children will continue to build on skills they began to learn in the tot programs. This class will expose the children to the gymnastics environment and expand on their knowledge of bars, beam, floor, vault and rings. This program is designed to teach them dominant movement patterns - statics, landings, rotations, swing, spring and locomotion. These children will begin to work on the CanGym badge system (level 1-2).

Once you are ages 6+ you will enter the Cangym program. Regardless of the age, they will begin in Rec Level 1 - Burgundy, and work their way through the program. If you feel your child is advanced, you can request an assessment to see if they are eligible to register in a higher level.  

Ages 6+: Rec Level 1 and up

Badge levels are used as a tool for coaches to monitor and evaluate progressions; however, our main focus is to provide a program that allows any child to experience and enjoy the sport of gymnastics. This class is co-ed and focuses on all of the gymnastics events - vault, bars, beam, rings and floor.  You must complete all 16 skill sets designated to each level before you can move up to the next level. 

Boys Rec Ages 6+- We also offer an all Boys Class that teaches level 1 and up concurrently.

As a member of the Minor Sports Association, all families agree to the Zero Tolerance Policy upon registration. The policy of FGC is to work with the athletes and their families to ensure that disciplinary issues are handled as deemed necessary by the coaches.
Step 1 is to inform the class as a group that the behavior is unacceptable.
Step 2 is to speak with the individual families.
Step 3 is to remove the child from the class for the rest of the day.
Step 4, if this behavior continues, is expulsion from the session without refund.

 

FGC tries to provide  gymnastics to all members of our community. If your child has any special needs or concerns, please contact admin. We will happily work with you to see if we can find a class that will be a good fit for you and your child. When needed a parent (or parent provided aid) can assist during the class. Please note these are considerations that would need to be made at the time of registration. Some classes are busier, some times are louder etc, Our Admin can help find the right class for you.

If we cancel your class due to enrolment or scheduling issues, we will transfer you to the next available class of your choice.
