Welcome to Gold Coast Gymnastics!
We’re so glad you’re here! Joining a new activity can feel like a big step, but our goal is to make your first experience easy, fun, and stress-free. This page is here to answer your questions and help your family feel at home from day one.
First Day Guide for Families
When you arrive, our front desk team will greet you and guide you to the right class. Parents are welcome to watch from our viewing area, and our coaches will take great care of your gymnast.
We recommend arriving 10 minutes early on your first day so your child can get comfortable and check things out before heading onto the floor.
- What to wear: A leotard or athletic shorts and a t-shirt. Hair pulled back, no jewelry, no gum.
- What to bring: A full water bottle and a big smile!
- Drop-off & pick-up: Parents are welcome to stay and watch. For older kids, drop-off is also fine. Either way, we’ll make sure your gymnast is safe, supported, and having fun until class ends.
Our Mission
At Gold Coast, gymnastics is about more than flips and cartwheels. Our mission is to help kids grow in confidence, focus, strength, and resilience. Every class is a chance to build life skills like perseverance, teamwork, and discipline. We celebrate every milestone – big or small – and cheer each child on as they achieve their goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do parents stay during class?
Parents are welcome to stay and watch from the viewing area. For older kids, drop-off is perfectly fine too.
What if my child is nervous or shy?
That’s totally normal! Our coaches are experienced in helping kids warm up and feel comfortable quickly.
What if we miss a class?
We offer make-ups when space is available. Just check with the front desk to reschedule.
Do you offer trial classes?
Yes! We’re happy to set up a trial so your child can try a class before committing.
When will my child move up to the next level?
Coaches monitor progress regularly. When your child is ready, we’ll let you know and celebrate their advancement. You’re also welcome to ask any time — we can take your child aside to assess skills.
