Your First Class at CATS: What to Expect

We’re so excited to welcome you to your first class at CATS! Follow these steps to be fully prepared for a safe and fun experience.

 Sign your waiver

All athletes must have a completed online waiver before participating in any class. If you haven’t filled one out yet, create an account and please sign your waiver here.

What to Wear

  • Leotard or comfortable athletic clothing (t-shirt or tank top with athletic shorts).

  • No buttons, zippers, or metal clasps, as they can damage gym equipment.

  • Bare feet only on equipment. Shoes must be removed before class.

  • Hair Care: Hair must be tied back and secured to keep it out of the athlete’s face during class.

3

Bring

  • A full water bottle labeled with your child’s name.

  • If your class is 1 hour or longer, pack a healthy, light, non-messy snack to keep your athlete energized.

4

Arrival

Arrive 10–15 minutes early for your first class so you have time to:

 

  • Check in at the front desk.

  • Use the restroom if needed.

  • Store your belongings and shoes in the cubbies along the rainbow mat wall

Please note: children are not allowed on any equipment without a coach present. Parents are not allowed past the wall mat unless enrolled in a parent-tot class.

During Class

Class Experience:

 

  • Athletes will start with a group warm-up, followed by rotations on various gymnastics equipment, ninja courses, or class-specific activities.

  • Coaches will call athletes onto the floor when class begins. Parents are asked to remain off the gym floor during class.

Parents and Viewing

Watching Class:

 

  • Parents are welcome to watch from our viewing balcony.

  • Please keep walkways clear for athlete safety and easy coach supervision.

7

After Class:

  • Coaches will dismiss athletes back to parents in the lobby or preschool area.

  • Feel free to ask coaches or front desk staff if you have questions about your athlete’s class or experience.
