The use of masks is required for entry to the facility and in common spaces such as the washrooms and lobby, but it is optional in the gym. Your child can wear a mask during their class if that is something your family would like to do, but it is not a requirement to participate in our programs.
5. What will you do if someone starts to feel sick during class?
If someone begins to feel sick while at Wings, we will separate them from the rest of the participants while we contact the parent/guardian, and wait for the child to be picked up. Please make sure you have an emergency phone number listed in your registration.
6. Do you have make-up classes if my child is sick?
There will not be make-up classes if your child misses a class.

There will not be parent viewing nights this year. We have restrictions on the number of people that are allowed in the gym at one time.

No, the parents do not stay inside the gym.

The washrooms and change rooms will be open. However, we would encourage everyone to come to the gym ready to go.
10. How often will the equipment be cleaned?*
Equipment will be disinfected at the end of each night.
11. What if I need to talk to the coach?
If you need to speak with your coach, you can email wingsgymnastics@gmail.com, and put your coach’s name in the subject line. We will then forward it to the coach.
12. If classes get cancelled again because of Covid closures, will I be charged?
No, you will not be charged. We will stop any monthly payment plans, and adjust the price to reflect the length of the season. We will issue credits if any over-payment occurs. We cannot refund the cost of the Gym BC insurance.
13. The class that I want to register for, is full. What should I do?
You can add your child to the waitlist as class sizes may change as the season progresses.
14. What is your waitlist policy?
When the program you wish to register for is full, you will automatically be registered on our waitlist. There is no deposit required if you are waitlisted. If/when a spot becomes available, we will contact you. Your placement on our waitlist will be held until the end of the current season; it will not be carried over to the next season.
15. Why do I have to pay for the Gym BC Membership?
Wings is an affiliated member of Gymnastics BC, and all gymnasts must be registered with Gym BC, as they provide our insurance coverage. The insurance is valid from September 1 to August 31.
16. What do I need to bring or wear to class?
Gymnasts need to be comfortable and be able to move - so we recommend bare feet, no jewelry, and long hair must be tied up. A bodysuit, shorts or tights, and a non-baggy t-shirt is suitable attire. Please bring your own water bottle and a small duffle bag or backpack to store your clothing and shoes.
17. Do you have an inclement weather policy?
Since road conditions can impact our families and coaches arriving safely to the Gym, Wings will make the decision to cancel due to circumstances related to adverse weather conditions, by 2:00 p.m. that day. We do not offer refunds for classes cancelled due to inclement weather or unforeseen events.
