Gymnastics is an extraordinary sport for children, because it builds strength, balance, coordination, flexibility, muscle-tone and provides a general boost to overall fitness. At the same time, it teaches self-confidence, body awareness and discipline, while it also encourages athletes to set and achieve personal goals. It is why gymnastics is one of the best cross-training sports in the world and is considered the perfect staging platform for many other sports. To top it all off, the sport is exhilarating to watch and a lot of fun to take part in!
At Kin Gymnastics, we offer a full range of Recreational and Competitive Programs injected with a sense of family and a feeling of belonging as an integral part of our athletes’ personal accomplishments.
Our coaches like to promote fitness, a healthy lifestyle, strong work ethic, determination, overcoming fears, performance and compassion. Most importantly, we celebrate both the similarities and uniqueness of each of our athletes, and at the same finds unity and togetherness in our multi-cultural family that we call Kin.
Kin
{noun}; Old English cyn;
1. clan; tribe; family
2. a close-knit group with similar interests and characteristics
In celebrating the rich diversity within our club, we not only honor the unique talents and backgrounds of each athlete but also cherish the common threads that bind us together as a cohesive Kin family. Through embracing both the similarities and differences among us, we cultivate an environment where every individual's journey is valued and respected. This inclusive spirit fosters a sense of unity and togetherness, reminding us that despite our varied origins and experiences, we are all interconnected members of a vibrant family. At Kin, we celebrate our shared passion for gymnastics while embracing the beauty of our multicultural tapestry.
Kin Gymnastics offers all its programs, both recreational and competitive, on a month-to-month basis at a fixed monthly price. Athletes can sign up and join a class at any time and progress at their own pace until they have mastered all skills associated with the class, at which point the athlete may transfer to the next level.
In addition to the monthly program fees, all athletes participating in gymnastics must have a valid Kin Gymnastics membership, which includes a provincially mandated Alberta Gymnastics Federation (AGF) membership for all registered gymnasts at any registered Gymnastics facility in Canada. The membership is valid from July 1st – June 30th of each year. The current Kin Gymnastics membership fee for recreational gymnastics programs is $65. Competitive membership fees are based on the level of gymnastics in which the athletes partake, ranging from developmental to provincial and national levels. Membership fees will be charged to your account prior to starting your first training class.

Fundraising is completely optional and available through the fully independent Kin Society whose activities go 100% to the families raising the money to pay for meets, travel and other expenses. It's a great way to generate extra cash to offset the cost of competitions, leotards and training fees. You can apply the money you raise to any gymnastics-related receipt.
We believe that all children should be given the opportunity to experience the positive benefits of gymnastics, so we are partnered with two fantastic organizations, KidSport and Jumpstart to help you fund your child's gymnastics activities. These two organization independently provide income-based grants to families for up to $500 per year per child.
What is Freestyle Gymnastics? Kin's Freestyle Gymnastics is a new and innovative program that provides opportunities for young people to be creative in the development of new skills, whilst staying fit and active. Freestyle Gymnastics was originally developed by British Gymnastics to describe a fantastic new, exciting and rapidly growing sport which incorporates gymnastics, tumbling and vaulting. Freestyle Gymnastics brings with it all the advantages of traditional gymnastics, and helps to improve overall fitness, strength, balance and coordination. In addition to the obvious health benefits, it also helps to enhance spatial awareness and improved self-esteem, as it provides a sense of achievement from boosting body image, behaviour, and self-confidence due to setting and meeting of both mental physical goals. Last, but not least, some will find Freestyle Gymnastics appealing due to its less competitive and more creative nature.
Its popularity is soaring in the gymnastics world because of its X Games appeal. It offers the freedom, individuality and creativity in the tumbling and vaulting movements. Kin offers Freestyle gymnastics for ages 4 to 18 as part of our Freestyle Mini, Freestyle Junior and Freestyle Senior curriculum. Check out more details on our Recreational Gymnastics page!
