Athletic attire and bare feet. Long hair MUST be tied back. Your child needs to wear "easy to move their body in" athletic attire and bare feet; shorts and a snug t-shirt, yoga pants and a yoga top or a body suit. Loose T-shirts tend to go over their heads when upside down, exposing their tummy and making it difficult to see. Skirts and skorts can hinder movement and become tangled on equipment. Clothing with zippers, pockets, drawstrings and belt loops can get caught on equipment or coaches and kids fingers. Bare feet are necessary, as socks are slippery on equipment. Hair must be tied back to prevent it from getting caught on equipment or the coach. It is much easier to see what they are doing if their hair is back.

* Be on time * Please use the washroom before class starts * Wear appropriate attire - No jeans, No drawstrings, No pockets, No skirts, No baggy clothes * Hair tied back * Follow the rules of the gym - taught to the kids by the coaches * Listen to your instructor * Stay with your class at all times

Cangym athletes work on the first three badge levels (Burgundy, Red & Tan) while Bronze+ classes are for those working on level 4 (Bronze) and 5 (Purple), Advanced Rec classes for level 6 (Blue) and up. We also offer Excel teams that are by Invitation and allow athletes to perform at 1-3 local meets. Competitive athletes are slectively chosen by our Head Coach.

All children 6+ are enrolled in the Cangym Program. The program consists of 12 levels/colours and has skills increasing in difficulty for each level. The coaches rate the skills based the following criteria: Is the skill performed reasonably, is it recognizable and is it repeatable. The skils for each level are rated as Mastered (3 stars), Learning (2 stars) or Attempted (1 star). Children will receive their report card and badge when they Master their level. The idea being they will eventually have 12 medals that are mastered. The medals run Burgundy, Red, Tan, Bronze, Purple, Blue, Turquoise, Silver, Orange, Yellow, Green and Gold. Trampoline students follow a similar program called CanJump. Highschool students receive a report card and no medals. Cubs, Cats & Lions are presented with medals three times a year but do not receive a report card. Excel and Competitive athletes do not receive testing and instead perform at meets.

Yes we offer trial classes for first time students to see if they will enjoy the class. Please create a new account on our customer portal and add your child and request a trial class in a class with space. You must let u sknow within 24 hours of the trial class if you want to continue in that class. If not there is no charge, if you do then the trial counts as the first class. We do not offer trial classes in September as that is our busy season.

Early Registration for the September-June season starts July 15th and to guarantee a spot, we reccomend registering on the first day. Registration is ongoing and all of our classes have waitlists available when you register and we will contact you when a spot comes available. It is best to waitlist your child for more than one day/time to increase the chances of getting a spot in class. We can't predict how long your child will be on a waitlist as it depends on when children in the class move or cancel. All waitlists and classes are finished at the end of June. You will need to re-register for Summer and September classes.

All cancellations are required in writing (email) by the 15th of the month to be done by the end of that month. There is no fee to cancel. If you cancel after the 15th, you will be cancelled for the end of the next month. Please see our Cancellation/Closure Policies page for further information.

Lion's Pride offers one free make-up a month for notified absences! We understand that there are times you won't be able to make it to your scheduled class. If you know in advance that you will be missing a class, you will need to submit a future absence through your account. Future absences recorded 3 hours prior to the lesson will receive a makeup token that can be used to register for an open spot in a class of the same level. To record an absence, start by logging into your account. -Under your students name, click "Future Absences" -Once you're on the future absence page, you can select the date or dates that you will be absent from class. -Once attendance is taken the day of the missed class, you will receive a make up token in your account that you can use by clicking on the "Makeups" tab in your account under your students name. This process works best when everyone does their part in recording future absences so that other athletes can have an opportunity to make up a lesson. *Make up tokens expire after 30 days of the missed class. Only one make-up token a month for missed classes. A make up class is not guaranteed. If a future absence is not recorded, you will not receive a make up token. Competitive athletes do not receive make-up tokens.
