Safety

Why does my child have conditioning during their gymnastics class?
Conditioning is an essential part in the sport of gymnastics. It builds muscles and assists in learning new skills. Muscle strength is important in injury prevention because it helps our muscles protect the bones we have in our body.

Can I watch my child when they are in a gymnastics class?
Yes. Parents may watch from the parents sitting area. Please do not stand in walkway near the cubbies or lean on the wall in the walkway. Sometimes parents can be distracting and may need to step out of the parents sitting area so the child can concentrate on what they are doing. It is unsafe for the child to try to communicate with their parents while participating in a gymnastics class. Flash photography is not safe in the gymnastics environment, so we ask that you turn off the flash before using your camera in the gym.

Registration & Enrollment

How do I sign up for a class?
To sign up for a class, your child needs to be evaluated by one of our coaching staff, and then try out in our risk free trial class. There is a charge of $20 for 45-55 minute classes and a $25 charge for 85 minutes classes. The great thing is that if you decide on the day of your trial class to sign up, your evaluation fee will be credited toward your tuition. Please call the front office at (408) 776-1858 to help you decide which class works best for you.

How does CAUSA evaluate interested gymnasts and why, also how do I pick the class?
CAUSA staff evaluates the gymnast by what they know and how well they understand the skill, even if they can’t perform it. We also look at the child’s age and try to put them in a class so they will be around girls or boys their same age and skill level.
