FAQs
Where are you located?
The Champaign Gymnastics Academy is located on Mattis Avenue between University and Springfield. We are in the Country Fair Shopping Center.
What should my child wear to class?
Have your child wear clothing that allows for movement. Shorts, sweatpants, leggings t-shirts, tank tops, and leotards are all acceptable. Avoid zippers and buttons and make sure sweatpants are not so long that your child is tripping over them.
How early should we arrive for class?
Arrive with enough time for your child to take off their shoes, socks and any additional clothing. Coaches are available 5-10 minutes before and after each class to answer any questions you might have.
Do I have to stay at the gym during my child's class?
Parents are not required to remain at the gym for the duration of the class. We do strongly encourage parents of preschoolers to stay in case they need assistance with anything. The lobby is set up to provide a comfortable viewing area for parents with a play area for siblings and free wi-fi.
What if my child misses a class?
Any child who misses a class is able to do a make-up class as long as there are openings in another class of the same level. Missed classes should be made up within the same session. If you know ahead of time you are going to be absent from a class, such as for a planned vacation, you can schedule a make-up prior to the missed day.
*Make-up classes must be scheduled through Reception*
Make-ups are only allowed in classes that are not full and therefor must be scheduled so we can be sure to maintain our class ratios. The reception staff will let you know what classes have openings and whether or not any make-ups have already been scheduled for a specific class.
Unfortunately it is not always possible to schedule make-ups if a certain class is particularly full in a given session.
Children cannot makeup in a class different from the one they are enrolled in.
My gymnast's siblings will be with me at the gym. Is there anything for them to do at the gym while we wait?
The CGA lobby is equipped with free wifi. There is also a sitting area with a TV with kid-friendly programming. There is a play area with books, a play kitchen, magnatiles, and an assortment of toys.
Who do I speak to if I have comments or concerns regarding my gymnast?
We love to hear from our members here at CGA and fully encourage open communication between our staff and parents. Coaches are available the 5-10 minutes before and after classes to answer any questions you might have about the class, your child's progress, etc. We encourage you to talk to your child's coach first and foremost as they will be able to give you the most insight into your child's development here at CGA.
