Our Play-Time is an open gym designed to give parent’s, parent’s groups, and other social organizations an opportunity to introduce their children to the wonderful world of tumbling and gymnastics and to provide a fun environment to be with friends and family!
Children will have an opportunity to become familiar with the soft open gymnastics floor, tumbling mats, trampolines, foam pit, and other gymnastics related equipment.
As children spend time in the gym experimenting with the different equipment, they begin to develop awareness of their bodies, special awareness, and a sense of comfort within the gymnastics environment. This can quickly translate into building confidence and self esteem within children and will serve them well as they enter into independent gymnastics classes as well as other physical activities.
Play-Time Fee
$10/child (non-enrolled families) | $25 cap/family
$7/child(enrolled families) | $25 cap/family

Ready for Gymnastics
Leotard or Comfortable Tight Fitting Clothing
Ponytail
Barefoot (no socks)
Cheerleaders may wear specified cheer gym shoes
No jewelry
Hair
It is essential that gymnasts’ with long hair pull their hair back. They can wear their hair in a ponytail, bun, braid, or any hairstyle where it isn’t going to get in the way.
When long hair is worn down it can get in the gymnasts’ face or caught by the gymnasts’ hands or feet when performing skills.
Feet
The majority of gymnasts both practice and compete with bare feet. Socks can create a safety hazard as they are often slippery on the apparatus. It can also prevent the gymnast from using their toes to push, climb, and learn how to grip apparatuses with their toes when performing skills.
While we do not recommend this, sometimes families opt to wear non-slip socks. Because non-slip socks aren’t all made the same, it still can create a safety hazard as socks are prone to move around due to a number of factors: fit size, amount of grip surface, socks elasticity, etc.
Attire
Gymnasts’ can choose to wear Leotards, Comfortable Tight Fitting Clothes such as T-Shirt, Tanks, Shorts, Leggings, etc.
Most gymnasts choose to wear a leotard to work out in as it allows the gymnast to move easily. However, this is not required.
Shorts
Many gymnasts feel more comfortable practicing with shorts over their leotard. It is recommended that gymnasts wear tight fitting shorts in order to prevent from being caught on equipment.
Loose Fitting Clothing
Loose fitting clothing can present a safety hazard as it can get caught by the gymnasts’ hands, feet, or an apparatus when performing different exercises/skills.
Jewelry
Often gymnasts want to wear jewelry at practice. However, watches, bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings (other than studs) all present a safety hazard as they could get caught on the equipment.
