Parent Participation Program

Gymnastics isn’t just for kids.  It’s a lifelong way to stay strong, flexible and have fun – just ask our gym full of adults who come out to learn gymnastics for the first time, practice old skills, or turn their acrobatic skills into tricks, stunts and parkour moves!

Whether you join a class because you never had a chance to try gymnastics as a kid, or because you want to get in shape, rest assured that the atmosphere during Adult Gym is warm and welcoming with lots of laughter and teamwork – no matter what your level. We are never too old to increase our physical literacy.

Everyone Is Welcome To Help.

All of our non‐coaching activities are supported by our community of family members. We believe that your involvement has a positive effect on your child’s passion for their sport, while building a strong family network within our organization.

Who Must Participate In The Program?

Parent Participation is mandatory for the families in the Superstars and Competitive programs, who use our gym the most, but no matter what program your child is in, we welcome your help and expertise.

We calculate your participation requirements based on the training tier (D-E-L-T-A) for our Competitive Teams or the basic participation requirements for the Superstar and Supermen Programs and we combine all the participating gymnasts in your family. You can contribute by:

  • Participating in supporting events, which involves your time and effort, and/or
  • Opting out and paying Parent Participation fees
