F.A.Q’s

Which class is my preschool aged child best suited to?

As a general guide, children aged up to 2.5 years attend the Starlettes program, 2.5-3.5 years attend the Tiny Stars Program, and children aged 3.5-5.5 years who can work independently of their parent/carer attend the Junior Stars – Shooting Stars, Shining Stars, Rising Stars and Super Stars.

Which class is my school aged child suited to?

Children attend the Development Gymnastics Program to begin with depending on their age. Children progress at their own rate and will move up through the program when their coach says they are ready. If your child has had previous experience, we recommend advising reception when you call so an assessment can be arranged to ensure your child is booked into a suitable class for their skill level.

What should I expect at my child’s first lesson?

Head to the front reception to check in, the staff will direct you to where your child needs to put their shoes and drink bottle and where they wait for their class to commence. The class coach will introduce themselves and call the children into the gym. Coaches are available 5 minutes before and after each class for a brief chat however if you have further questions please contact reception during office hours.

How do I get to Edge and where can I park my car?

Edge is located on Warrigal Road however it is easier to enter from Freighter Road, which is off Keys Road. Edge has car parking on site and there is plenty of street parking on Freighter Road and Simpson Street. Anyone under the age of 12 children must be accompanied to the door and collected from inside the foyer to ensure member safety. We have a printed walkway to provide a safe walkway from our car park to the door so please assist your child to use this walkway.

Can I view my child’s class?

Junior & Development Gymnastics:
Weekly viewing is permitted for parents/ guardians. We ask that you make yourself known to the administration staff or coaches and introduce any visitors to the staff on arrival before moving upstairs.

Competitive Classes:
Viewing is recommended in Week 5 and 6 of each term. When viewing, we ask that you make yourself known to the administration staff or coaches and introduce any visitors to the staff on arrival before moving upstairs. Parents are not to enter the gym area without permission from an Edge Staff member.

Does my child require a uniform?

Edge recommmends girls to wear a leotard or gymnastics crop top and shorts to every session. A well-fitted long sleeved T-shirt and leggings may be worn in the cooler months. Junior and Development gymnasts are welcome to wear shorts and t-shirt if well fitted and will not tip over their head. Boys are recommended to wear sports shorts and t-shirts which stretch to allow for movement. Children in inappropriate attire will be asked to change if the coach feels their attire is unsafe. NO under garments may be worn as outer attire. Edge merchandise can be purchased via the online uniform shop. NO jewellery may be worn.

What happens if my child is late to class?

Members must arrive at class prior to the completion of warm up to be able to participate. It can be a safety issue if children have not warmed up correctly prior to participating in circuits and activities. Members who arrive after warm up has finished and are unable to warm up themselves will be able to be a helper but not able to participate in activities.

What is the Policy and how does it affect my child’s class?
