Special Needs

Vancouver Phoenix Gymnastics welcomes participants with special needs. We offer an adapted gymnastics class and private lessons suited to the participant’s needs, as well as integration into existing programs with or without a one-to-one coach*.  We provide training for our coaches in this area, facilitated by specialists from the BC Centre for Ability, Brain Gym, Special Olympics, and Eaton Learning Centre.

* Due to the increasing demand for one-to-one instruction in interagted programs there is $7.00/hr fee in addition to the program fee in order to provide a one-to-one worker for your child.

Please email Lisa Brougham or call 604-737-7693 ext. 23 to discuss the program best suited to your needs.
