Getting Started
How do I register for classes? +
You can register online through our class schedule page — just click on any time slot to be taken directly to our registration portal. You can also call us at 516-935-9804 or email midislandgym@gmail.com.
What age can my child start gymnastics? +
We welcome children as young as 18 months in our Little Explorers Parent & Me class! We have programs for every age group up through teen and competitive levels.
Does my child need prior experience? +
Absolutely not! We have classes designed specifically for beginners at every age level. Our coaches will meet your child exactly where they are and help them grow from there.
Can I watch my child's class? +
Yes! We have a viewing area for parents. For our youngest classes (Little Explorers), parents participate alongside their child on the floor.
Classes & Schedule
How long are classes? +
Class lengths vary by program: Little Explorers and Tiny Explorers are 45 minutes, Rising Stars are 1 hour, Shooting Stars are 1.5 hours, and Junior Gymnastics is 2 hours. Team practices vary by level.
Is enrollment year-round? +
Yes! We offer continuous, year-round enrollment. You can join at any time during the year — no need to wait for a new session to start.
What if my child misses a class? +
We understand that life happens! Contact us and we'll do our best to schedule a makeup class. Please give us as much notice as possible.
Do you offer a trial class? +
Yes! We offer 50% off your first 4 consecutive recreational classes so you can really get a feel for our gym. For team programs, we offer the first 4 practices completely free for new families!
What to Wear & Bring
What should my child wear to class? +
Girls should wear a leotard (shorts or leggings over are fine). Boys can wear athletic shorts and a fitted t-shirt. Avoid clothing with zippers, buckles, or buttons that could snag on equipment.
Should my child wear shoes? +
Gymnastics is done barefoot! Please have your child remove shoes and socks before entering the gym floor. Shoes should be worn in the lobby and waiting areas.
What should I bring? +
Just bring your child and their enthusiasm! A water bottle is always a good idea. Please leave jewelry at home — it can be a safety hazard during gymnastics.
Tuition & Payments
How much do classes cost? +
Recreational classes range from $155–$220/month depending on the program. The Mid Island Academy Team is $320/month. Team programs (Xcel and USA Dev) — contact us for pricing. All new students get 50% off their first 4 classes!
When is tuition due? +
Tuition is due monthly. We offer automatic payment options for your convenience. Contact us for details on payment methods accepted.
Is there a registration fee? +
Please contact us for current registration fee information — fees may vary by program and time of year.
Team Programs
How does my child get on the team? +
Team placement is by coach invitation or evaluation. We offer free 4-practice trials for all team levels! Sign up through our Team Trial page and our coaches will evaluate your child during the trial.
What's the difference between Xcel and USA Dev? +
USA Gymnastics Development (Levels 2–10) is a more structured, traditional competitive pathway with compulsory and optional routines. Xcel (Bronze–Diamond) is a more flexible program that allows more individual skill selection, making it great for athletes who want competition without the same intensity.
How many meets will my child compete in? +
The number of meets varies by level and season. Check our Competition Schedule page for upcoming meets, or contact us for more details about what to expect for your child's specific level.
