For cheer classes at GymKidz, students should wear comfortable, stretchy athletic clothing that allows for full range of movement. Here's what we recommend:
Clothing:
- Form-fitting shorts, leggings, or athletic pants (avoid loose or baggy clothing that can get caught or interfere with movements)
- A fitted t-shirt, tank top, or athletic top
- Avoid clothing with zippers, buttons, or decorative elements that could be uncomfortable during rolls and floor work
Footwear:
- Bare feet are preferred for the best grip and connection to the mats
Hair and Accessories:
- Long hair should be securely tied back in a ponytail or bun.
- Remove all jewelry including earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and watches for safety
- Hair clips or headbands should be avoided as they can be uncomfortable during floor skills
What to Bring:
- A water bottle to stay hydrated
- A positive attitude and readiness to learn!
The most important thing is that your child can move freely and safely. When in doubt, think about what they'd wear for other active sports or physical activities!
