At the Bloomingdale Park District, our goal is to provide a fun and safe envirionment where your child can excel and build confidence. All Park District gymnastics coaching staff have been gymnasts themselves and enjoy coaching all ages, levels and teams. Gymnastics Supervisor Jo Peterson has overseen the program for 30 + years! There are second generation participants as well as coaches that were once a part of the program as youngsters.

General Information

• Gymnastics coaches reserve the right to place gymnasts into the class best-suited to their abilities. If the gymnastics coach feels your child has been placed in the wrong class, he or she will notify you of the necessary change.

• If your gymnast missed more than one session, they MUST be tested in order to re-enter the same level class.

• To schedule a skill evaluation, email Miss Dawn at bgc. missdawn @ gmail. com.

• Gymnastics and tumbling team parents must attend a Score 6 class prior to their child’ s participation in gymnastics.

• Attire: o Girls – Leotard or unitard. Please no leotards with shirts( safety issue). Hair tied up. o Boys – Shorts and T-shirt / tank top. No baggy clothes or jeans allowed!

• With your child’ s best interest in mind, parents are asked not to attend their child’ s class unless invited by the instructor. We have found the quality of instruction is often affected by parent and / or sibling distractions and / or interruptions. It is of equal importance that the children have quality leisure time with their peers. Our instructors welcome the opportunity to discuss concerns with parents before or after class, time permitting. Thank you for your cooperation.
