Frequently Asked Questions

Our gymnastics classes run in one month session.

Payment is due before the start of the first class.
Payment can be made using our parent portal.  To login, Click Here to Login to Parent Portal

We will remind you of payment, by emailing a billing statement on the 1st day of each month.  Payment is due regardless if you have not received or seen this email.   It is the  responsibility of the parent to know when payment is due and to pay on time.  If payment is received after the class has started, a $5.00 late fee will be charged.
You can make your tuition payment online by setting up your own account from our website. Or you can stop by the office and sign-up for auto-pay and we can charge your credit card at the beginning of each month and you will receive a $5.00 discount.

You can enroll your child at any time during the month.  We will pro-rate the cost of the classes for you if some classes have already passed.

Every student who enrolls in a class at S.C.G.C. pays a yearly membership fee of $50. This fee helps to pay the high cost of liability insurance that a gymnastics school must carry. It also entitles your child to discounted prices on our activities, open gyms, and camps.

No.

Once you are enrolled in a class, we will hold that spot for you unless:
A) You have emailed our office at info@scgym.com two weeks in advance of your drop date.
or
B) If you have not made payment by the end of the first class.  Re-enrollment can only occur unless full tuition and the $5.00 late fee has been paid.

  

As a courtesy to our customers, we offer 1 make up per month per student (starting at age 4). Our make ups are typically offered on the last Saturday of every month.  There are two different make-up times depending on your child’s age.  Gymnasts ages 4 to 6 years old are at 11:30am and gymnasts ages 7+ are at 12:30pm.  For safety purposes and to prevent the over-crowding of our gym, make-ups cannot be offered during regular classes even if there is availability or space in the class.  No exceptions.  Additionally, your existing class cannot be used as a make up and your must be currently enrolled in our program to be eligible for make ups.

The upstairs party room has two picnic style tables and two futons.
There is also another table for cake, snacks, presents etc. and a
refrigerator / freezer.
The downstairs party room has one picnic style table and some seating for adults. There are also two card tables for cake, snacks, presents etc.

We suggest that you bring one to two table cloths for the picnic style
tables and all of the plates, cups, napkins, and silverware that you will need.
It is up to you what you would like to serve. Some people bring snacks or
even pizza and some people just bring cake and ice cream.

Matches are probably the most forgotten item, but forks, a knife to cut
the cake and candles also get forgotten quite a bit.

Any child that is participating (walking age) in the party will be counted toward the
number of guests. However, if a child is too young to
participate and is with the parent the whole time, they will not be counted
toward the number of guests.

Our parties have a tendency to book very quickly, especially
during the school year. We recommend that you book your party two to
three months in advance.

We try to put very little restrictions on the things you can bring to the party.
However, we do ask that you refrain from bringing confetti, popcorn, silly string or poppers because they can cause too much debris.

We ask that students wear something comfortable that they can move around in. Leotards are recommended for girls and pants or shorts
with an elastic waistband are recommended for boys. Hair needs to be pulled up out of the gymnasts’ face and we ask that no jewelry is worn and no clothes with zippers or belts as they can damage the equipment.

Assessments are done monthly.  If they are ready to move to the next level, they will receive a move up card from their coach.

If you feel that your child is not in the appropriate level, please email the office at info@scgym.com and we will set up an assessment to have your child’s skills tested. If you feel that the day, time or instructor is not the right fit, then you can check with the office or website to find a day, time or instructor that works best for your child.

Please email the office at info@scgym.com to set up a time to have your child’s skills tested.

Attending classes multiple times a week greatly increases a child’s strength and coordination and therefore improves their overall gymnastics skills.  Camps, activities and open gyms are also a great place for students to
work on and master the skills they are learning.

While they are both entry level classes for 4 & 5 year olds which focus on basic gymnastics skills and coordination, Rising Stars is for both boys and girls. Our Comet program is specifically geared towards little boys
and their physical and social development coached mainly by our male coaches. While Rising Stars focusses on all apparatus, Comets spends more time on boys’ events such as pommel horse, rings and parallel bars.

Girls: Leotards and shorts or sweat pants and bare feet.
No socks or tights as they are slippery when using the equipment.
Boys: T-shirt and shorts or sweatpants and bare feet.
Boys or Girls: All long hair needs to be neatly pulled back out of the face in ponytails or braids.
No zippers or buttons.

Yes. Please let your child know that you are leaving and be sure to return before class is over.

Starbursts may move to Rising Stars or Comets when they turn 4.
Rising Stars and Comets must have their teacher’s recommendation
before moving to Shooting Stars, Super Stars or Rockets.  However,
when your child turns 6, he/she may register for Girls Rec1 or Boys Rec1.
Please only move your child at the beginning of a month.
If you have any questions regarding your child’s progress, please
see his/her teacher.

Yes, It is very normal for a child to be nervous in a new class situation
where he/she doesn’t know anyone. The first thing is to be patient and
don’t force participation. Introduce yourself and your child to the
instructor and let him/her know that your child is very nervous.
This may comfort your child enough to at least sit with the instructor
which will ultimately lead to full class participation.
The biggest thing is don’t give up!

Each child is different, but our experience is that it takes a class or two,
sometimes three for most children to want to fully participate.
