program structure
At West Wind Gymnastics, we provide a range of classes for your little ones to learn and grow.
Our age-based progression system, starting from Parent & Tot classes at infancy, moving to Preschool at age 3, Kindergym at age 5, and beginner-level classes at age 6, is designed with your child’s success in mind.
We understand that every child’s growth and development is special, and we celebrate those individual milestones. To ensure that each athlete is placed in an environment where they can truly thrive, we carefully align our classes based on age, maturity, and other essential factors. This alignment allows our coaches to craft lessons that are not only safe but also engaging and tailored to each child’s needs.
Our policy of permitting age-ups only during the week of your child’s birthday is a vital part of this personalized approach. By adhering to this policy, we can maintain a consistent and fair learning environment that respects the unique journey of each child.
If your child is approaching the next exciting stage in their athletic development, please contact us to find available classes during their birth month. We’ll be thrilled to facilitate the transfer in the week of their birthday, marking another wonderful milestone in their growth!
Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s athletic journey. We look forward to continuing to support them in reaching their full potential.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU JOIN!
Continuous Gymnastics With Monthly Billing – 12 months a year!
Our programs run year round, including the summer months plus we offer a 10% Sibling Discount
After you have paid your annual AGF Fee, your account will be billed on the first business day of each month after your initial enrollment unless:
- You come in before the first of each month to pay an alternative way.
- You complete the one month’s notice of withdrawal form which is located on the footer of our website or by clicking HERE. Once we receive your withdrawal submission, you will be billed for the next month before your athlete’s spot will be forfeited.
ADVANCING LEVELS OR SWITCHING CLASSES
Changing Classes: If you would like to switch classes for a coaching reason, schedule conflict or your child needs to move up or down a level, we can do that without having to wait for a new session!
Advancing: We are going to do our BEST to have our coaches be coaching three consecutive levels/ages on the same day so that when your athlete is ready to advance, they won’t skip a beat because they can just move to a later time slot on the same night with their same coach, and will hopefully see familiar faces of others that have also advanced from their previous class.
Monthly Programming
Our monthly programming will resemble more of competitive team structured practices. We find more value for the coaches and athletes if they are continuing to progress with a consistent coach and group of athletes.
Coaches will be continuously watching their athletes master and progress skills, and so your athlete could potentially advance levels every month if he/she is excelling at a rapid rate!
agf Fee
To participate in our program, all athletes are to pay an annual non-refundable Alberta Gymnastics Federation membership and insurance fee is mandatory for all athletes.
The AGF Fee provides membership to Alberta Gymnastics and Gymnastics Canada, along with sport insurance for your athlete.
The AGF Fee for recreational programs this year is $55 per athlete, and is valid from July 1, 2023 until June 30, 2024.
