TAG's World Gymnastics, Portland TX

This facility is not very inclusive. They are only willing to separate children (with private lessons) from their peers instead of trying to help guide them with inclusion. Terrible experience. We will never return & I will inform everyone I know of our experience.

They claim to accept children of “any ability and skill level, ” yet they also state a Child MUST be able to stay with the coach and follow along with the demonstrations at different stations. This is extremely contradictory. A child of “any” skill level and ability will not always be able to follow along with the demonstrations. Additionally, they may need assistance staying with and following along with the coaches. Children running around the gym is a safety risk. Yet you won’t allow a caretaker to assist a child either. Which again, contradicts your statement that you’re inclusive of ALL abilities. Suggesting that children with disabilities attend “toddler time” is infantilizing. They attend school just like other children.
They also will not give your child more than 1 session to get used to their exciting, new environment.

Disappointing, as there aren’t that many options locally as far as gymnastics go. Tippie Toes Dance Studio is always very inclusive! I definitely recommended going there if looking for a recreational program for your child with disabilities to participate in.

Parents of children with disabilities be aware so you can save yourself from the hurt and humiliation you’ll feel after attempting to have your disabled child included in a class here. Not a private lesson, not toddler time, a regular class like every other child has the option of attending. Inclusion doesn’t have to be complicated. So far this company has been nothing but defensive and trying to save face on the internet.

It’s sad because there’s already not many options for gymnastics around here. Oh well I guess.

I went for Tot Time. The man on the front was very friendly. My toddler had a good time for tot time. I asked if they offered free trial classes for my older kid but they do not, just open play on fridays. Maybe something to consider? Would be nice for them to try a class to see if it is a good fit before committing. There was definitely some equipment that needs replacing, looks worn out over time/use. Overall great facility and toddler had fun, it was also affordable.

Good place for your daughters. Not much is offered during classes for boys. Coaches have them doing the same things every class, just to burn off some energy.
There is no progressive training at all or a 'boys' team so we are very disappointed.
