What To Wear
We always recommend that kids wear leotards or shorts/tights/track pants and t-shirts when participating in our gymnastics classes. Long pants that sit past the ankle are not appropriate, as they could be a potential hazard to the child. Children should also not wear jeans, socks or jewellery. We recommend tying long hair at the base of the head, not on the top or back of the head, as this prevents safe headstands and forward rolls.
