Starter Pack FAQ

We are located at Unit C2 Network Enterprise Park, Kilcoole. When coming through Kilcoole village, continue down passed sea road. At Colaiste Craobh Abhann secondary school, take the left turn where there is a very large sign  labelled “Network Enterprise Park”, continue down the road and take the right turn into the business park. You can find us on Google Maps here.

Anyone continually breaching our parking rules will have their fee’s refunded and will no longer be eligible to attend class/camp.

Parking spaces in the business park are limited, each company has been assigned spaces for their customers. Our parking spaces are clearly labelled with signage, 6 to the front, 10 to the side, 2 to the back and the yellow box – use all spaces. If all spaces are taken, do a loop around until one becomes free and be aware if you park in the space of another company our staff will ask you to move your car. Please be very aware of other vehicles and people in the business park.

Sugarloaf Gymnastics is located in an industrial estate / business park. There are frequently trucks, vans and forklifts moving about making deliveries and moving stock within the other units. It is not a place for the following: dog walking, ball playing, skate boarding, roller blading / skating, scooters, bikes, running around / game playing, noise disturbances, children playing etc. Please hold your gymnasts hand / keep them close to you to avoid any accidents – children should not be running around corners unaccompanied. It is imperative that all of our gymnasts and their families are safe, to ensure this please comply with the above and please do not be offended if our staff ask for any of the above to be stopped. Failure to comply will result in termination of membership.

We recommend a leotard for girls, but this is not mandatory. Girls can wear leggings and a tshirt, hair must be tied back before coming to class. No jewellery is permitted. Boys can wear shorts, fitted tracksuit bottoms and a tshirt. Leotards can be found easily online – we recommend Quattro, Milano and The Zone. We also sell our own Sugarloaf Leotards which can be purchased in the gym.

Gymnasts should bring a drink to class, especially those in 2 hour and 3 hour classes. For camps gymnasts should bring a drink and small healthy snack – no popcorn and nothing containing peanuts are allowed. As pick up and drop off times are extremely busy, we recommend bringing as little as possible with you. Many of our members opt to bring flip flops to make things a little easier.

All classes & camps are drop and go, no parents/guardians are permitted to stay. It has been proven that a much better response from children is possible when a parent is not present. For Health and Safety and for Child protection reasons, no gymnasts are to be dropped off more than 5 minutes ahead of class time without permission from staff. This also applies to other children – please do not leave them in the gym to watch, we cannot be responsible for them.  Arriving too early will cause congestion with parking. All gymnasts must also be picked up on time as our coaches have other classes to teach / the gym may be closing at the end of your childs class.

On the first day of classes  – check your childs details with our coaches to ensure that we have them on our class lists. Place all belongings neatly in a locker or on the bench and go onto the floor mats in preparation for warm up. Parents can head off and leave the rest to our coaches. A roll call will be taken after warm up.
