Classes and FAQ.

Welcome to Wichita Gymnastics! You’ll find answers to all your questions here. If you have more, please give us a call at 316-634-1900. Class listings are below.

Why should my child do gymnastics?

Gymnastics is a great sport for children of all ages. Gymnastics classes offer a variety of benefits: physical activity promotes exercise, and coaches and instruction promote attentiveness and respect. Gymnastics helps children develop spatial and body awareness. It helps with physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development. At WGC, we utilize games, gymnastics skills, equipment, and music to challenge children and nurture their physical and mental development.

Registration:

We do not automatically enroll children for sessions. You must re-enroll online. You can sign up for the next session starting on the 6th week of the current session (Parents’ Week). Online enrollment is available through the second week of the session. If you want to sign up after the second week of the session, please call 316-634-1900 or stop by. Please note: We’ll add more classes if needed or cancel classes if not filled.

Payment:

For your convenience, payment may be made securely online or at the gym with cash or check.

Yearly Registration Fee:

It’s now even easier to be a member and sign up for classes at Wichita Gymnastics because you can do it online! We are always here to answer your questions and advise you on classes – please call or stop by the desk! You can join the WGC family for a $15 yearly non-refundable registration per child. This is due for each gymnast upon registration, and your gymnast receives a WGC T-Shirt!


What to (or not) Wear:

For your child’s safety, please go over the following rules and guidelines prior to beginning classes:

  • Girls should wear leotards (available for purchase at the gym) or a t-shirt and shorts without buttons, buckles or zippers.
  • Boys should wear a t-shirt and shorts without buttons, buckles or zippers.
  • No jewelry (small stud earrings are okay). PLEASE leave jewelry at home.
  • Bare feet (Nylon tights or socks are slippery on the equipment)
  • Hair must be ‘UP’ in pony tail or pig tails. Hair should be kept away up and away from face.
  • Remind your children to wait inside after class.

Make-up Classes:

Once per session, WGC offers a make-up day for those who have missed class. During the school year, we like to have consistency in the classes, so we have a make-up day at the end of the session.

In the summer, we have more flexibility with make-up times and understand you may have more conflicts from time to time. Please check at the front desk for summer make-up times.

Parent’s Day:

Once each session, we have a Parent’s Day – bring your family, friends, and camera! On other days, we request that parents not be in the gym area during class. A waiting area is available for parents. If the children are watching, waving, and worrying about you, they cannot be learning from us!

Class Structure:

We run very structured classes – all lesson plans are made in advance, and in the 6 and a half years and up classes, the children are tested on the first day of every session to ensure they are placed in the correct groups.

We keep our ratio in the 6 and a half years and up classes 6-7 students to 1 instructor. Mini-Gyms and Mighty Mini classes are 4-5 students to 1 instructor, and Super Tots is 6 students to 1 instructor.

Miscellaneous:

We will always add more classes if needed. We may also change times if classes aren’t full.

Discounts:

WGC offers a 10% military discount, a 10% sibling discount, and a 30% multiple-class discount.

Missed Classes:

Remember, during the school year, we offer a make-up day for consistency and to avoid overcrowding classes.

Parents’ Day:

When children are watching, waving and worrying about you, they cannot be learning from us.  We ask that parents wait in our waiting area while class is in session.  However, we have a special Parents’ Day where family and friends are welcome to watch and take photos.

Inclement Weather:

Please see the website, Facebook, or Instagram page, or give us a call to see if your child still has class during bad weather.
