Question 1

What do I wear to my gymnastics class?

Accepted Answer

All children should feel comfortable in whatever they decide to wear. We suggest Leotards/one piece togs OR bike pants/shorts & tight fitting singlet/t-shirt or crop top. Loose fitting clothing is not recommended as it could pose a risk when on the apparatus. Long hair must be tied up and away from the face preferable braided / platted. In the cooler month’s footless tights and skivvy’s are ideal and a warm tracksuit to put on immediately after class.
