Recreational Classes: Stretchy, athletic attire and bare feet or white socks or toe shoes are available for purchase; shorts and a snug t-shirt, yoga pants and a yoga top or a body suit. Loose T-shirts or dresses tend to go over their heads when upside down, exposing their tummy and making it difficult to see. Hair must be tied back in a ponytail or bun to prevent it from getting in the way. It is much easier to see what they are doing if their hair is back.
Gymnaestrada, Precompetitive and Competitive Classes: There is a uniform for pre-competitive and competitive classes: black tight shorts, team tank top, white ankle socks and hair in a bun. Please contact us to order the team uniform. Each season there is a new team tank top for training and competition that everyone must purchase. For travelling to events and competitions, gymnasts must have black leggings and the team jacket. Check out the pro-shop to place your orders:
