Information & FAQs

About Our Registration Schedule

Winter: January-March | 11 weeks
Spring: April-June | 9 weeks
Summer: June-July | 4 weeks

FAQs

Children under 6 years old go into our Preschool category of classes, where class level is determined solely by age. They’ll move up through the class levels as they age until they reach six years old.

Children 6 and up can join our Recreational classes. New students should start at Beginner Girls 1 or Beginner Boys. These classes include detailed skill evaluations (except during Summer classes and Mini Sessions) to determine how each student is developing, what they need to work on, and when they’ll be ready to advance to the next level. Every student progresses at their own pace, and it’s normal to stay at the same level for a while!

Tumbling classes and Adult Gymnastics do not have different class levels and do not include skill evaluations.

If your child is coming from another gymnastics program and you think they may already have the experience needed for a higher level class at the GRC, contact our management at gymnastics@pdop.org to discuss your situation and potentially have your student evaluated. Remember that different programs may approach things differently!

We use a monthly payment system for our more advanced classes: Beginner Girls 2, Advanced Beginner Girls, Intermediate & Up Girls, Advanced Beginner Boys, Intermediate & Up Boys. All other classes continue to use a standard session-based model.

Registration for these classes opens along with registration for Fall sessions. However, advanced class registration runs through the entire school year, typically ending in May, so you won’t need to register again each session. Your payment method will be automatically charged on the 1st of each month, with each payment applying to the following month’s classes (e.g. the payment on September 1st is for October’s classes). You can cancel your class by contacting us at gymnastics@pdop.org (opens email app).

While we can sometimes accommodate walk-ins, registering is recommended to ensure you will be able to participate. No walk-ins will be taken after the Playtime or Open Gym reaches maximum registrations, even if other participants leave.

Gymnastics does not offer make-up classes, but we can offer you a voucher code for a free registration to Preschool Playtime or Open Gym. Email gymnastics@pdop.org with the name of your student, which class they are in including day and time, and which date(s) of class they missed. Please request your voucher code only after the missed class!

We offer a few drop-in gym times, including Preschool Playtime and Open Gym. Note that these are open gym periods that do not include instruction. Our classes are on a quarterly schedule (Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer).
