Frequently Asked Questions

How big are your class sizes? Will my child get personal attention?
We ensure our class sizes are small enough so that all children get the amount of one-on-one time that they need.  For our Tumbleweeds classes, we maintain a 5:1 student/teacher ratio; for General Class ages 6-8 the ratio is 6:1, and in our 9 and older age group the ratio is 7:1. We know that by maintaining these ratios, all our gymnasts will enjoy their class to the fullest and learn a lot, also!
 
Can I schedule a trial class and see if Badger Gymnastics is right for my child?
Absolutely.  Please call us or stop by the front desk to find out the time slots where a FREE trial class can be arranged. We want you and your child to experience Badger – we think your child will really like it!

How do I register for a class?
We are now accepting online registration and payments. Simply fill out the registration information and make a payment either online or at our gym. You can also register at the front desk.

What methods of payment do you accept?
Cash, check, and all forms of credit.

What should my child wear to class?
Children are welcome to wear any comfortable clothing that allows them to move freely. Students should not wear jewelry, watches, hooded shirts, and clothing with zippers or buttons. All long hair must be tied back.

Where do I go when I get there – this is the first class we have taken at BGA!
Enter the front door and go into the first locker room on the left. Students can change and wait there until an instructor invites the students into the gym (parents are welcome to wait there also!).

What happens if we miss a class? What is the make-up policy?
Each student is allowed 2 make-ups per session. Make-ups are possible in classes that have openings – we are happy to find the options for you at the front desk.  Please keep in mind, however, that we will not sacrifice our student/teacher ratios (for Tumbleweeds it is a 5:1 ratio, for General Class ages 6-8 it is 6:1, and in our 9 and older age group it is 7:1).  Just come to the front desk or give us a call to schedule your make-up class.

What is your policy regarding inclement weather?
Badger Gymnastics will cancel classes if Madison Public Schools are closed in the morning. If there is a mid-day cancellation or after school activities are cancelled, we will remain open. However, please use your best judgment.
