  • I am interested in enrolling my child in gymnastics, how do I sign up?"
    You can sign your child up for gymnastics class over the phone, in-person, or online. If you are new to the gym, the first step is to create an account online through our Parent Portal and complete the waiver and policy agreement electronically. Once an account is created, you may enroll your child in class for the day and time that works best for you based on class availability. You may complete the enrollment process either online or through FGA's front desk.
  • How do I know which class is the best fit for my child?
    Our recreational classes are organized by age and skill level. For children under age 5, our class divisions are based solely on age with ages 1-3 in our Teeny Tumblers class and ages 3-4 in our Hot Shots class. For ages 5+, we offer Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced classes based on skill level. A child will enroll first in the Beginner class. Once their skills progress, the student may complete an evaluation with certain skill requirements on floor, balance beam, bars, and vault to move up to the Intermediate class. There is also an evaluation with certain skill requirements on each event in order to move from the Intermediate to Advanced class. Evaluations are scheduled through the front desk. We also offer a Tumbling class for ages 6+, which focuses exclusively on floor and tumbling skills (no balance beam, bars, or vault skills). In addition to traditional gymnastics classes, FGA offers a free running and movement-based ninja style gymnastics class called Extreme Gymnastics for Intermediate and Advanced level students. A child must pass a skill evaluation to enroll in the Intermediate or Advanced Extreme Gymnastics class. Evaluations are scheduled through the front desk.
  • What do I need to know for my child’s first day of class? How can my child be well-prepared for gymnastics class?
    At your child’s first day of class, please check-in at the front desk. Prior to your child participating in class, the waiver and policy agreement need to be completed online, and payment needs to be made to the front desk for the enrollment fee and monthly tuition. Your child may wear a leotard or athletic clothing to participate in class. Your child will have bare feet during class. If your child’s hair is long enough, it needs to be up, out of their face. Please remove any jewelry before class. Please bring a water or other hydrating beverage for your child to drink during class water breaks.
  • What do I need to know about monthly tuition?
    Monthly tuition is processed the 20th of each month for the upcoming month. FGA is requiring families to be on AUTOPAY using bank withdrawal or credit card (3.5% fee applies). FGA will accept cash or check payments at the front desk for your child’s tuition payment (must be a pre-pay for 4 months and if your child drops, there will not be any refunds issued). Monthly tuition is a fixed fee based on your child’s enrollment in class. FGA does not adjust or prorate tuition charges due to absences or holiday closures.
  • What if my child will be absent from class? My child missed her scheduled class, do you offer make-up classes?"
    FGA offers 3 makeup classes per calendar year available to you if your child is absent due to injury or illness. Makeup classes must be scheduled through the front desk within one week of the absence. If FGA is closed for a holiday during your child’s regularly scheduled class during the monthly session, we offer a complementary makeup class that does not count towards your 3 per calendar year. Makeups for holiday closures must be scheduled through the front desk within one week of the closure.
  • How long is my child enrolled in classes for? Is it a month-to-month program?
    FGA's classes start in *September and continue through the following August. For your convenience, FGA holds your child's spot in class for the full duration of the class schedule. Unless you notify the front desk of your intention to cancel enrollment, your child will be enrolled through August when you register for classes. This continuous enrollment provides consistency for your child as they develop greater strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, and skills within the sport of gymnastics. In order to best benefit your child’s progress in the sport of gymnastics, FGA does not offer a month-to-month program. If your child is unable to complete the full enrollment period, we do offer flexibility to unenroll in class with advanced notice provided to the front desk by the 15th of the month to cancel enrollment for the upcoming month. *Morning, Friday, and Saturday classes DO NOT continue through the summer months. They end after the May session.
  • What if I need to make changes to my child’s enrollment after we sign up?
    FGA requires advanced notice for any changes in your child’s enrollment. Please notify the front desk by the 15th of the current month if you would like to make a change in your child’s enrollment for the following month. For example, if your child is enrolled in classes 2 days per week and you would like to decrease to 1 day per week, please provide this advanced notice to the front desk.
  • What if I need to cancel enrollment and withdraw my child from class?
    FGA requires advanced notice to withdraw your child from class. Please notify the front desk by the 15th of the current month if your child does not plan to continue in class the following month. If we do not receive advanced notice, you will be billed and responsible to pay monthly tuition for your child’s class even if your child does not attend, because your child was enrolled and took the spot in the class. Unless you notify the front desk of your intention to cancel enrollment, your child will be enrolled through August when you register for classes.
