Level Placement
What’s the Right Level for My Child?
We get asked this question all the time, and we’re happy to help! When registering your child for gymnastics classes, it’s important to choose a class that matches their current skill level. But don’t worry - we’re here to guide you every step of the way to ensure they get started in the right place.
Whether your child is new to recreational gymnastics or has some experience, we use the CanGym and CanJump badge systems to outline the skills and milestones for each level. These systems help us match your child with the class that’s best suited to their age and experience. If your child has previously attended North Valley Gymnastics, they may have already been assigned a CanGym or CanJump level.
How Can I See My Child’s Current Level?
If you’re a current member, it’s easy to check! Just log into your account, go to the "My Account" tab, and click on "Participants." Then, select your child's name and click on the "Achievements" icon. You’ll be able to see their progress and the CanGym or CanJump badge levels they’re working towards.
How Are Badge Levels Assigned?
During the first two weeks of each new session, our coaches will assess your child to ensure they’re in the right class. Whether in recreational gymnastics or transitioning to competitive gymnastics, if we feel a change is needed, we’ll get in touch with you to explain the options and next steps. At the end of each session, we reassess your child’s progress and update their level if they’ve successfully mastered the necessary skills.
Levels are based on skill development, technical ability, and whether your child has mastered the required elements for their current level.
