Class questions

do you require specific skills for classes?

We do not require children to have skills prior to signing up for a class. However, we do want children to be successful, safe and comfortable in class. If a child is unable to stay with the group or follow instructions from the coach, they will need Caregiver support. If a child is uncomfortable being upside-down, they will not feel successful in a Ready to Tumble class. We want all kids to feel good about class and will work with families to find the best fit.

What is the difference between tumbling and ninja classes?

Our Tumbling classes focus more on basic gymnastics tumbling skills, handstands, rolls, cartwheels and more. Ninja classes are more focused on moving our bodies in quickly and efficiently.

What does experienced mean in the class descriptions?

Children who have attended one or more session of classes with us are considered experienced, regardless of how well they can perform a skill. We do much more in class than solely work on skills and believe children should be challenged in new ways regardless of their athletic ability.

Do you offer classes for only boys or only girls?

We do not offer gender-specific classes. Children are welcome to join classes they feel comfortable attending. Coaches use gender-neutral language and respect the pronouns used by each child.

do you require specific uniforms or attire?

We encourage kids to wear comfortable, soft clothing to class. Shoes and socks should be removed during check-in. Loose clothing may need to be tucked in or removed for safety. Hair below the shoulders is suggested to be put up. We respect self-expression and want children to feel welcome in class regardless of what they wear.

Registration FAQ

Is there a Waitlist?

Yes, all classes and camps have a Waitlist available. We do our best to find available space in classes and camps, and often add additional instructors. Do not get discouraged if you see a class or camp is full!

WHAT IS YOUR CANCELATION POLICY?

Class purchases are non-refundable. We do our best to accomodate reschedules if requested more than 72 hours prior to class, but cannot guarantee space will be available. A maximum of one reschedule per session is allowed, with the exception of medical emergencies with a doctor's note provided. Missed classes may not be rescheduled. Camps and special programs have their own cancelation policies.

What are session classes?

Session classes are held at the same time, on the same day of the week, for a set length of time (usually 8-12 weeks.) Coaches build on the skills developed each week and develop relationships with the children in class.

Do I need to pre-register for the full Session? Can I just try a single class?

Prior to sessions beginning, we require families to book the entire session. Once the session begins, you may book single classes. If you'd like to "try before you buy", you may purchase a Single Class Pass and sign up for a current session class with availability. If you want to sign up for the remainder of the session, you may sign up for the prorated session price.

My child is almost 3, can they do the PreK Wigglers Class?

Children under 3 should do at least one full session of Turbo Tots before trying out a PreK Wigglers class. Coaches will help Caregivers identify if their child is ready to safely and successfully participate without their assistance. Children under 4 who still need Caregiver assistance to participate should continue with Tiny Tumblers class until they are developmentally ready to take a class on their own. We want all our children to be safe in class!
