Can I stay to watch my child?
Of course, we love our parents to stay and watch! You’re welcome to observe your child in our glassed-in lobby for main gym students or behind the cubbies in our tots’ gym for our preschool classes (non-participating parents are not to enter the gym). We request parents to refrain from coaching his/her children during class to avoid embarrassing the child and disrupting class.
If you have any concerns about your child’s class, please talk to the front desk or a manager.
What should my child wear to class?
Some Programs have its own attire requirements (Ninja Zone & Cheer). In general, for girls’ gymnastics, we recommend wearing a body leotard (no skirt) – shorts and footless tights are allowed. For boys’ gymnastics, we recommend wearing a t-shirt tucked into stretch pants or elastic waist cotton shorts. Long hair should be pulled away from the face into a pony-tail with an elastic band. For your child’s safety hair clips, barrettes, other hair accessories, hair glitter, gel, spray-on hair color, or excessively oily hair products are not permitted.
All students are barefoot during class. Parents are welcome to wear socks in the gym when participating in class.
Only stud earrings are permitted. All dangling jewelry must be removed before participating in class.
How and when will my child progress to the next level?
Children learn at different paces – On average, most students are in the same level for a full year as there are many skills to accomplish in each level. It takes quality instruction, practice, strength, flexibility, agility, and dedication to achieve skills in any physically demanding sport. Every level should be taken seriously as all skills are built off of one another; a firm foundation and understanding of basic skills before advancing is key.
Stay up-to-date on your athlete’s progress by using EGA’s App! When your child is ready to move-up you will receive a call from the office to change your child’s class and your child will receive a certificate in the mail!
If you find your child is struggling, consider having your child attend class twice a week. It’s hard to build muscle and muscle memory with only attending class once a week! If coming twice a week is not feasible, talk to your child’s coach about certain conditioning drills he/she can work on at home in addition to taking your once a week class. Private lessons are also an option – inquire at the Front Desk.
How do I find out if EGA is closed due to inclement weather?
We immediately post closing information to the EGA website and EGA’s Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/elitegymnasticsacademy. Our voicemail will also state we are closed.

Day Camps FAQ's
EGA offers Summer AND School Year Camps! Below are answers to some of the most common questions we
are asked.
Please call or text our front desk at (952) 882-9012 if you have any questions. You may also ask a question online here.
Do I have to pre-register for Camp?
We highly encourage pre-registration. When Camps are full, we do not accept walk-ins.
A walk-in fee will be assessed for the day/week of Camp if space is available.
What do we do on my child’s first day of Camp?
When you arrive, you will sign-in at the front desk each day. They will direct your
child to where he/she should go and do to get ready for Camp.
What will my child do at Camp?
Campers will spend the day playing group games, building forts, navigating obstacle
courses, learning fun foundational gymnastics skills on a variety of equipment, making
friends, creating themed crafts, and more!
What should my child wear?
Campers should wear comfortable, athletic clothing (no jeans or buttons), they are
encouraged to dress in layers in case they get hot or cold during different activities.
Please send your child in shoes he/she can take on and off by themselves (must have
socks and must be a tennis/athletic shoe). We will be taking our shoes off and putting
them on multiple times throughout the day, and this really speeds up the transitions.
Does my child need to bring a lunch?
Yes – All Campers (PM half day & full day) must bring his/her own healthy bag-lunch.
Campers should bring an AM and PM healthy snack.
Label EVERYTHING – Water bottles, lunch boxes, and anything else your child brings to
camp. This helps us a lot if they leave something behind. EGA is not responsible for
lost/stolen items.
How do I sign-in/out my child?
The front desk staff member will check-in Campers at the start of Camp at the front desk, and will
put an assigned color wristband on his/her wrist (this indicates your Camper’s group for
the day). Once your Camper has a wristband he/she is welcome to enter the gym to
put away his/her belongings and join their group.
You/Caregiver must be present during the check-in process. This is a good time to relay
anything to us that we should know about (child having a rough morning,
going to pick-up child early today, etc.). In addition, it’s nice for us to get to know our
Camper’s parents/caregivers and to develop a good relationship with you too!
In order for a Camper to leave, a camper’s parent/guardian/caregiver must check-out
the Camper at the front desk.
All Caregivers need to be listed on your EGA Account. Your child will not be approved
to leave with anyone NOT listed on your account.
To add a Caregiver to your EGA Account, simply e-mail us at [email protected] or log-in to your EGA App/Portal.
If we do not show up, for some reason my child does not enjoy Camp/is hesitant to stay, or we need to cancel for any reason, do I receive a refund or credit?
No refunds are given. However, you can cancel *two weeks prior* to your scheduled/pre-paid Camp via e-mail to receive an EGA Account credit.
If you fear your child may not like Camp or may be hesitant to participate, we recommend only registering for one half-day of Camp to give it a try before committing/paying for more as no refunds/credits will be given.
No refunds or credits will be given for no-shows and any cancellations received after
the two week deadline (there are no exceptions for illness/injury).
*If you registered using a promotional discount, no refunds, transfers, or credits will be
given. Promotional discounts are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Why does EGA need my e-mail address?
As our company becomes more automated and green conscience, e-mailing is
becoming our preferred form of communication (inform you of important billing
information, Camp updates, facility closings, special events, and promotions);
therefore, your e-mail address is required upon registration.
Your e-mail address will allow you to log-in to your Customer Portal to access your
personal details at EGA. You can make a payment, update your account, change your
billing information, change your password, add a student to a waitlist, view your fees
and payments, check your child’s current enrollment and skill progression if enrolled in
classes, add a Caregiver, register for Special Events at EGA (Parents’ Night Out, Family Fun Night, Day Camps, etc.), schedule a birthday party, register for classes, and receive
important messages or contact our Front Desk staff.
Can my children/friends stay together during the full duration of Camp?
Absolutely! With that being said, the older child(ren) will need to go with the younger
group. Please make sure the older child(ren) is okay with this! If you would like your
children/friends to be in the same group, please notify the front desk. If we are not
notified, Campers will be placed in groups by age.
Can I drop-off my child early? Can I pick-up my child late?
All Campers can be dropped off at 8:25am at the earliest and must be picked-up on–time. We allow a five-minute grace period before
attempting to contact you for pickup. If we are unsuccessful in reaching you following 30 minutes
after Camp ended, we will need to follow our ‘stranded child’ procedure. We
understand things happen, please communicate openly and promptly with us.
All kids picked-up late are subject to a $3 per minute fee per child after the five-minute
grace period and must pay the balance in full at the time of pick-up.
How are the children at camp disciplined?
The Camper will be given two verbal warnings, then a time out if needed.
If the problem persists, we call the parents/caregiver to pick-up the Camper. The
Camper will be sent home from Camp for the day.
If a Camper is caught physically fighting, he/she will be sent home for the day without
warnings. The Camper will be removed from Camp for the day, and parents/caregiver
will be contacted to pick-up.
If you have any concerns about your child’s Camp, please talk to the front desk or a
manager.
Is Camp the same as taking class?
Camp is not the same as class. Classes have smaller student-teacher ratios, have more
structured learning, and children’s progress is assessed throughout the year. In Camp,
Campers are learning some skills, but it is mostly for fun. The skills are incorporated into
games the Campers play.
My child needs to take medication while at Camp, what do I do?
We are happy to give your child his/her prescribed medicine. Please give the prescribed medication to the
front desk in its original container with the child’s name on it, as well as the original doctor/pharmacy
instructions on how much should be given and at what time(s).
My child has allergies, what do I do?
Notify the front desk about your child’s allergies. If your child needs an epi-pen and/or
inhaler for the day, please turn it into the front desk with its original instructions.
If your child has food allergies, please pack lunch accordingly, and let the front desk
know so we can plan where kids eat lunch according to their allergies.
