Birthday Parties
At Core your guests will enjoy supervised free play, fun games, and optional gymnastics skill instruction. There are a few bits and pieces we need you to
be aware of prior to your session, and we encourage you to ask any questions you may have!
What we Provide
When booking a Core Gymnastics and Fitness party, you’re essentially hiring out our entire gymnastics facility for your
guests to enjoy with qualified coaches supervising/instructing throughout. We also have a designated party area set up
with tables and chairs on our mezzanine level. We have a fridge/freezer located in the office if you need to keep
anything cool, as well as a microwave for heating items. We also have some cups and tap water if necessary (however,
please BYO water bottle preferably – see below).
What to Bring
You are welcome to arrive 15-20mins prior to your party start time. Please arrange for any decorations you wish to bring
to personalise your party experience. You are most welcome to set up a ‘theme’, e.g. some decorations, balloons, or
nothing at all, whatever suits!
BYO party food/drinks/cake. From experience, the kids enjoy the gymnastics session so much that they aren’t too fussy
with the party food, so keeping it simple is usually best. We recommend you also bring a couple of tablecloths to cover
the tables (disposable is fine), napkins, and some disposable plates and cups.
The kids will get a fair work out during the 60 min gym time, so if you can either suggest they bring along a drink bottle
or supply some bottled water to have at the entry to the gym (maybe with names on them).
Music provides a great energy to the party. We play fun Spotify music playlists otherwise welcome to connect your own
phone to our Bluetooth speaker for more personalised selections.
Schedule of Events
The party runs by having a 60 min session in the gym. Most kids are happy to enjoy free play fun with their friends;
however, our coaches can run them through some fun games/circuits/bungee bouncing. You are of course also welcome
to organise any games you might like to include and can direct the coaches if there is something that you might like your
guests to do! After the 60-min session, guests will have 30 min upstairs to mingle, eat, have cake and open presents etc.
Strictly no one is allowed on equipment during this time (bouncing/rolling/swinging after eating can cause nausea or
vomiting).
You will have up to 10 mins after the party to organise guests to leave. Our coaches will assist with the clean-up.
Dress Requirements
Party guests should wear clothing that they are comfortable and able to move in. Avoid loose
clothing that will get in the way when going upside down, or baggy trackpants below the ankle (trip hazard). Please tie
long hair back and remove all jewellery (watches, rings, etc can easily catch or get lost in the foam pit).

Age Limit
We host parties for children between the ages of 2 and 13yrs. Please discuss if you have any younger or older
participants joining in.
Junior parties are for 2-5yrs. All children under 5 require a parent/carer accompanying them AT ALL TIMES. If you need to
leave the floor, please take the child with you. Regularly check diapers when playing in the foam pit for hygiene purposes.
Viewing Policy and can Parents Join in?
It is not necessary for parents to stay to watch, however, if they would like to stay to join in the fun, we ask that
parents/carers/older siblings and other guests view the session from our upstairs party area, or move around the gym
with caution. We enforce this policy to improve safety and reduce the risk of collisions between smaller bodies and
larger bodies. In saying that, we know how much fun our playground is! Discuss on the day with the head coach if you
would like to join in/have a go on a piece of equipment (this will be on a case-by-case basis depending on party age
groups and numbers). Strictly no adults on the bungees or Russian 360-degree swing (weight dependent)
Behaviour Management Policy
Disciplinary action will be taken against anyone who is found to be in breach of the code of behavior or Gym Safety rules.
This will help to ensure classes run as safe and smooth as possible. Disciplinary action will be administered in a
four-phase education process, designed to allow guidance in correcting inappropriate behavior.
1) Warnings – Staff to counsel child and explain the breach, warnings will be indicated with a cross on the
whiteboard.
2) 3-minute timeout when three crosses are obtained – Staff to counsel child and explain the breach.
3) 3-minute timeout with fourth and final warning – Staff to counsel child and explain the breach.
4) If a gymnast is given a 5
th and final cross on the board, they will be removed from the gymnasium and sat out
until the end of class. Parents will be contacted to take the gymnast home to ensure no more disruption within
the class.
* NOTE: Physical violence (pushing, grabbing, hitting, kicking, throwing) is not tolerated and will not be given a
warning – immediate timeout will occur and the situation assessed to determine if parents need to be contacted
Code of Behaviour
All children enrolled in the club must adhere to the following guidelines for behavior when attending. Parents are asked
to explain, and educate their children on acceptable behavior as outlined below:
1) Be polite – Be respectful to your peers, your coach and the equipment and encourage your classmates.
2) Be productive – Take advice from your coach and follow their instructions to improve and stay safe.
3) Be positive – Try your best every time, learn from your mistakes and never give up. Mistakes help you to grow!
4) Do not tolerate acts of aggression or bullying. Advise a coach immediately if you have any concerns.
