FAQ
Your child will likely enjoy both gymnastics and Ninja classes because they involve movement and they’re fun. Children who thrive on explosive movement like diving, running, and jumping are well suited to a Ninja class, and children who enjoy the discipline of strength conditioning and mastering form are suited to gymnastics. But you don’t have to choose! We offer a two-hour class that combines gymnastics with Ninja to give your child lots of high energy activity combined with gymnastics skills mastery.
Yes! At SEGN we embrace the concept of ‘Try Before You Buy [TBYB]’ because it offers parents early insight into how well a child may fit into and enjoy a class. The TBYB class is free. Parents must sign an injury waiver for a child to try a class.
The answer depends on how well socialized your youngster is in terms of being able to participate without parents on the floor, follow instruction from a Coach, and take turns.

The best answer lies with you and your commitment to support a child’s independence.
The membership fee is made up of insurance and a small fee for processing and management. Insurance is a one-time annual levy covering July through June and is a pass-through to the Alberta Gymnastics Federation. The amount of insurance charged varies according to how the participant uses the gym. For example, the insurance charge for dropping into OpenGym is much less than the charge for weekly attendance in a program.

When you sign up for a class you are committing to a session (3 or 4 months). We understand circumstances arise that dictate the need for discontinuing the class. When this happens, we will consider the reasons for a request to cancel, and we will request a month’s notice. A refund will be issued for the balance after the notice period and less a $50 cancellation fee.
