First Class: What to Expect

First Day Info….
Our main focus in providing recreational gymnastics classes is to ensure that the classes are fun for all gymnasts while being active and safe.

  1. Please observe the classes from the viewing area. To ensure your child’s safety, please refrain from speaking to your child while they are in class.
  2. For the safety of your child, please remain with them until they are on the gym floor with their coach. As well, help your child learn who their coach is, and their name.
  3. Please do your best to be on time for all classes. Also, please ensure prompt pickup. Many of our classes run back to back, so it can get congested in the front foyer area. We thank you for doing your part to cut down on this congestion.
  4. Please remember that although our coaches are often young, they are fully certified and are well qualified. All employees have First-Aid, AED and CPR training.

Please note the following to ensure that you and your children are well prepared for your class.

Arriving
Please be on time for all classes to ensure that the gymnasts have a proper warm-up at the beginning of each class.

Jackets and bags must be hung in the viewing area, and shoes/socks stored on the shelves in the front entrance.

For safety reasons children should wait on the benches until their coach begins the class. Please be careful to keep your children off the equipment and prevent them from climbing on the white fence before the class begins to ensure their safety.

Bodysuits are available for purchase at the front desk (but are not necessary for class).
Shorts/leggings/sweatpants and a t-shirt/tank top are preferred. Avoid clothing with buttons, zippers, snaps or anything that could catch on equipment.

AGF Fee – What’s this?

Each year when you register for your first class or camp, you have to pay that additional AGF Fee, but what is that about?

AGF – or Alberta Gymnastics Federation fee is a combination of charges that provide resourcing for athletes and member clubs who fall under the umbrella of Alberta Gymnastics Federation and Gymnastics Canada while also providing insurance coverage and legal support in the event that an unfortunate injury is incurred during gymnastics instruction.  The AGF fee is charged when you first sign up for a class during the AGF fiscal year (July 1 – June 30), and covers all of your recreational gymnastics resourcing for the year and is transferrable between AGF sanctioned gymnastics clubs.

This fee changes depending on the costs of registration with AGF, GCG, Insurance, and CCGC Membership/Admin fee.
Currently the $55 fee that all recreational gymnasts incur is made up of:

AGF Membership Fee:   $15.00

GST: $0.75

Developmental Insurance Fee:   $20.00

GCG Membership Fee:    $8.00

CCGC Membership/Admin Fee:   $11.25

                Total Fee Collected:  $55.00

Every year we collect this fee, and then remit the GCG, AGF, and Insurance portions to AGF, along with the names of each registered athlete, and in return we receive programming and resourcing assistance, access to certain benefits associated with membership within AGF, and are eligible to participate at AGF sanctioned meets and events.

For more information about registration and insurance information, please check out the AGF Membership Registration link.

 

Xcel is a USA Gymnastics sanctioned recreational-competitive team, adopted by Gymnastics Canada. In the last several years, Xcel has developed into its own full program, with levels Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. These levels coincide with the Junior Olympic Levels in the High-Performance route.

The gymnasts will have their own routines which they will have the opportunity to compete!

The gymnasts work with the coaches and will pick floor music that fits their personality and style! Our competition season for Xcel begins in January and typically ends in early May; however, Xcel team girls train 10 months a year (September to June), with the option to continue training during the summer to maintain their skills.

The Xcel program was created to keep gymnasts involved and excited about the sport. In many other sports, athletes can start competing in games and tournaments very quickly after they begin. However, with gymnastics, this is not the reality. Athletes in gymnastics will train for several years before meeting the necessary requirements to be able to compete. The Xcel program bridges the gap and allows gymnasts to start competing sooner, by lowering the skill requirements at the entry level.

In addition to the basic entry levels, the Xcel program also has more advanced levels that allow gymnasts to keep competing in the Xcel program as they progress to higher level skills. The Xcel program is ideal for not only entry-level gymnasts, but also older gymnasts that are looking for a fun way to stay in shape and be involved in the sport.
