Frequently Asked Questions

Does the gym have a canteen where I can purchase food and drinks?

Yes, we have a canteen with a mixture of healthy snacks and sweets, iceblocks and drinks available. These are available for purchase any time classes are running.

What should my child wear to gymnastics class and is there anything they will need to bring?

Please see our Uniform Requirements Policy for more information.

Children only need to bring a drink of water with them. Gymnastics is done barefoot, so any shoes and socks the children wear into the gym will be taken off before class begins.

My child has done gymnastics elsewhere and is interested in competing/ has been training in competition squads. How do I enquire about Competitive programs?

We offer competitive programs and development squads through to Elite. If you would like to enquire about the competitive program please click on the competitive tab. Please keep in mind that this program is for selection only.

My child is unable to attend a class, what should I do?

There is no need to contact us. You can simply go into your parent portal and mark your child away. You can even do this in advance if you know your child will be away. Once the class has been physically missed, you will be able to book a make up lesson for any KinderGym, KinderRec, Recreational or Advanced Recreational classes. Competitive Levels are also eligible and encouraged to use their makeup classes throughout the year, training.

Are there any discounts if I put more than one of my children into classes at Bounce?

Yes, discounted rates apply to families with multiple children. Please email bouncegym@fitnfunacademy.com.au to discuss these discounts and have them applied onto your fees.

How are your classes graded?

Children are initially put into our Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. From there they will work through the coloured program of Bronze, Silver and Gold in each class as they progress through their skills. We have Grading sessions available all throughout the year. Please see more information on our Grading sessions under the 'Recreational Grading' tab. You will receive an email in the days following the grading to advise if your child has moved up a grade or will need to continue working on their skills before they are ready to move up.

Can my child start any time of the year?

Yes. Enrolments are open year-round for gymnastics. Your child can join in and participate at any time of the year.

Can I stay and watch my child?

Yes of course. We do have a small seating area for parents to view their children during their class. We do encourage parents to drop and go and then take part of our pickup circle to collect your children at the end of the class.

Why doesn't my child always have the same coach?

Our coaches are allocated to an ongoing roster to ensure consistency for the student, however there are times when your child may have another coach. This could be if a coach is off sick, on holidays, when competitions are on or other personal reasons. In these times we allocate a coach with the same level off coaching accreditation to cover the class.
