What is a Chamford class?

The class provides a safe and fun learning environment to build a sound foundation in body movement, awareness, flexibility, and co-ordination. This is a structured class with no parent involvement, although parents are welcome to stay and watch in the area provided. Classes are divided into Beginner, Intermediate groups to provide children with the most appropriate skills, progression, and optimum learning environment.

What is junior advance?

This program is by invite only for children who have good listening skills, the ability to focus and a high level of basic co-ordination and flexibility. The Advanced class focuses on advancing skills and challenging the gymnasts to achieve their best while keeping the focus on fun.

Class Drop off and Pick up

Gymnasts need to arrive dressed ready for class. There are no change rooms available until further notice.

What happens if my child arrives late to class?

Recreational gymnasts must arrive prior to the completion of their group warm up for safety reasons. Children who arrive after warm up has been completed may be able to join in only if a coach is available to assist with a late warm up. Reminder notices will be sent home if your child arrives late on a regular basis.

How do I enrol my child?

Chamford offers new families the opportunity to enrol prior to each term commencing. We take new enrolments until week 2 of each term. You can enrol and waitlist your child through the parent portal on our website and the office will contact you to confirm your class.

Do classes still run on a Saturday when there is a Public Holiday on the Monday or Monday if the Public Holiday is on a Tuesday?

Classes will always be held unless they are scheduled on the day of the public holiday. For example: Melbourne Cup Day (Tuesday) lessons will not run, however lessons will still run as normal on the Saturday and Monday before Cup Day.

If my child misses a class, are makeup lessons offered?

Chamford does not offer make-up classes unless the coach or Club cancels the lesson. We run our classes at full capacity and your term fees are paying for a place, regardless of whether your child attends class or not.

How does my child progress through the Levels of Gymnastics?

Gymnasts progress at their own rate and move to the next Level when they have acquired the necessary skills. Recreational gymnasts are tested in week 7 of each term. They will receive a certificate after being tested.

Are private lessons available for my child?

Private lessons are available to all gymnasts at Chamford. Private lessons can be organised for individuals or groups up to 3 gymnasts. Our coaches specialise in different areas so please be specific regarding the reasons for the private lesson so an appropriate coach can be selected.

Amazing staff!! My daughter lights up ever since she has been introduced to this wonderful team! Can’t say enough about Central Jersey Dance and Gymnastics

Pete Sudzus

The coaches have truly become a second family to them. As a parent, I can’t say enough about the amount of respect I have for this place. Both of my daughters have been able to continue dancing in college due to what they have accomplished at this studio.
