Please be patient with us in completing your registration when you come to the gym...be prepared and have all your cheques prepared in advance using the attached Fee  Worksheet . Your assistance with this is much appreciated.

For new members, wear shorts and t-shirt or bodysuit, leotard with no shoes to the first work-out. See what the other kids are wearing. Tie up long hair, no jewelry...We will have gymnastics bodysuits available for sale!

Note:
To help us with the problem of shoes/clothes all over the gym floor, we do suggest that gymnasts bring a gym bag that can hold their belongings while they are working out. Even when things are bundled up neatly in a pile they sometimes end up being accidentally kicked and then things go missing. Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

WISHING TO JOIN THE CLUB??

Please send us an email to be placed on the wait-list for September - January 2011. Please be specific with your request, age of child? program?
Due to overwhelming interest, the online registration form will not be activated.
Based on the age of your child and the program you are looking for, we will email you a copy of a registration form .
You will only be contacted if there is a space that is available for you and a prompt response to accept the spot or not will be greatly appreciated with the $50 refundable deposit to confirm and secure the spot.

We understand that many have been waiting a very long time to get into Wings and we greatly regret any inconvenience that you have experienced. However, we try our best to get your child into your program of choice in a timely fashion, so thank you for your patience. There is a chance you may not be successful, and we apologize but we will keep you on the wait-list.

Note that the Non-refundable deposit of $50.00 will secure your child's space and will be applied to your fees for the last month of the session which is either January or June (for the Kindergym, Recreational or Youth programs) and June for the Competitive, Pre-Competitive, Interclub, and Acro-boys program.

If you decide not to complete your registration or you withdraw before the end of the session then this deposit will be kept for administrative purposes.

If in doubt about poor weather cancellations, please call the Cameron Sports desk at Telephone: 421-5225 or 421-0976 and they will know if we are in or not as we let them know as soon as the decision is made.

From the City of Burnaby...

For safety reasons, please do not drop off your children at the door and block the traffic. We almost had an accident with children jumping out of doors and running into cars. We recommend that you please park and walk your children into the gym. Please do what it takes for a safe drop-off and pick-up for not just your own children but for all wings gymnasts. The city thanks you for your cooperation.

From coaches...

Please do have your children go to the bathroom before gymnastics if at possible. If they have to use the bathroom, we need them to please PUT THEIR SHOES on!! We will be nagging and reminding them to do so. They will also need to go with a buddy if they are 10 and younger, if possible, we would prefer them to always go with a buddy regardless of their age. They need to let their coach know before they go anywhere at all times. Our staff will try and monitor the comings and goings and will "bounce" the kids out of the bathroom if they seem to be spending too much time in there.

Miscellaneous
We do have new and gently used suits for sale. Please enquire to have them brought out. If anyone have out-grown suits they would like to give-away or sell for a nominal price, please bring to the gym in a labelled Ziploc bag.
The new suits are sleeveless training tank-style bodysuits, custom made by Tiptoe Gym wear. They are in the club "blue" and the price is $40.00. We have a variety of sizes, and if we do not have the size we will order it in. This suit can be worn by any gymnast in the gym.
