Kids Sports & Gymnastics – Frequently Asked Questions

Currently, we do not offer parents the option of trying our classes before enrolling. Participant numbers and instructors differ from class to class and adding a trial athlete would disrupt the class. We do invite parents to watch classes they are thinking of enrolling and are willing to have the managers and coaches speak to them about the class.

Some classes have different levels to accommodate children of all ages and abilities (Gymnastics). In order for a child to be placed into an advanced class, without prior experience, they should be assessed from one of our coaches—skill assessments can be done and a determination as to which class best suits the athlete will be made.

YSE classes are structured to accommodate a certain age range. These ages are designed to allow for participation at an appropriate level for each child’s age and ability, and follow established guidelines for the sports and our knowledge of child development. Parents of children that may have developmental delays should speak to the individual sport managers about the situation.

If a class does not occur due to cancellation by Asphalt Green, a credit will be issued for the class. All other missed classes cannot be made up. Due to the high enrollment rate of our classes and the teaching process involved, we cannot schedule make-ups during other classes.

No. Being on a waiting list does not mean that you are registered into the class. If someone drops out of the class you will be contacted and the registration process completed.

Registration is done on a first come first served basis. In an effort to reward our returning class participants we offer a priority registration period for a week before the class is open to others to register. It is important for class structure and our policies to keep class numbers set at a certain level. You can place your name on the waitlist and will be enrolled in the class if a space opens up.

Please call the YSE Sports Department Weather Hotline at 212.369.8890 ext. 2372 one hour prior to the scheduled class time to find out if your class has been cancelled due to inclement weather. A staff member will continually monitor the weather conditions, and will make a determination if the field conditions are appropriate to continue with the class.

It depends on the location of the class. Naturally, classes on the AstroTurf are suitable for spectator viewing, as well as most classes in the Main Gym. Classes that take place in the East Room and Mini Gym are able to be viewed from the 3rd Floor balcony, please abide by the posted rules involving communication with the participants, as safety is a major concern. Unfortunately, Mazur Hall and the 3rd Floor Studio spaces are not suitable for spectator viewing.
