Foothills Gymnastics offers a memorable, fun party experience for all ages. We offer 2 hour private parties with your own party expert to make sure that your party goes smoothly and hassle free! Below are a list of questions that you may have. Please read carefully so you will be aware of our price lists and a few policy changes. If you have any other questions or would like to book a party time, please call the gym.

What does Foothills Gymnastics provide? We provide our facility which includes a 30′ trampoline, another small trampoline, bars, beams, obstacle courses, a variety of fun shaped mats, a rope and rings for swinging, parachute play, an 18′ inflatable slide and many other fun activities for party guest 14 years and under.  We also provide you with 1 party room which includes plenty of counter space, large tables, refrigerator and sink.   We also provide a variety of age appropriate party music. If your child has a special CD that they’d like to bring, we will be happy to play that for them. You will have 1 hour & 15 minutes to 1 ½ hours of gym time, and the remainder of your time will be spent in one of our brightly painted, decorated party rooms, eating and opening presents. Times will vary according to how many guest you have or how much food you are planning to serve.

What should I expect my party hostess to do? Your party hostess will help you set up your table and refreshments. She will go over the gym rules with your guest, supervise free play, lead parachute games, and other activities. She will help serve refreshments to birthday child’s guest  (adults will be allowed to help themselves), and while your child is opening presents, she will clean up the party room and pack up any left over party supplies that you might have. If there is any other help you need, please ask your hostess and she will be happy to accommodate if time permits. Gratuities are accepted.

What is the Party Schedule?  The first 15 minutes, children will be allowed to play on certain gym equipment, while you wait on all of your guests to arrive. After the first 15 minutes, the party hostess will play age appropriate parachute games with the children. She will then go over all the gym rules with all the guests.  At that time the slide will be blown up and children will be allowed to play until until the first hour is over. At that time, your guests will be taken into the party room for refreshments.  All children must be in the party room until the hostess lets you know that its time to go back into the gym to open presents. During this time your hostess will clean up the party room and pack up any left over party supplies and food. After the birthday child opens presents, the children will be allowed to play until the party is over.  All parties must follow this schedule. Parties are booked every 2 hours, so please be considerate to the party coming in after yours. All party guests must be out of the gym at their scheduled ending time. Parties cannot run over. Parties that take up more time than alloted, will be charged an additional $20 for every 10 extra minutes.

What do I need to bring? You will need to provide all of your paper products, which include, cups, plates, napkins, table cloth, forks/spoons, etc. Bring any food or refreshments that you’d like and don’t forget the utensils, candles & matches. The party room is already decorated, but if you want to bring your table decorations ahead of time, we will be happy to have it all set up by the time you get there! No crepe paper or pinatas please.

PartyWhat time should I arrive for the party?  The party room will probably be occupied prior to your party time, so you should come about 10 minutes before your party starts, and wait in the lobby until your hostess comes and gets you.

What do the party participants need to wear?  They need to wear leotards, shorts or gym pants and t-shirts. Nothing with zippers, snaps, or buckles please. No shoes or socks. No jewelry. Adults, no street shoes please.

Who is considered a participant? Anyone who comes on the floor and plays. Because our equipment is set up for younger children, no one over the age of 14 is allowed to be on any piece of equipment at any time. Children under the age of 2 years old are free. Because of limited space in the party room, the number of adults attending the party is limited to 20. If there more than 20 adults, there will be an additional charge. Adults should not be on the gym floor, and should sit in the lobby,  unless assisting small children.   Adults are not allowed to use the slide unless their child is to small to climb up by themselves.  If this is the case, adults must remove, shoes & belt buckles.

What is the cost? The cost is $95.00 for 1 – 12 children and up to 20 adults.  Cost for 1 - 12 children and up to 30 adults is $125. Cost for 1 - 12 children and up to 40 adults is  $155. Each additional child after the 12th is $6.00 per child. Although parents are required to sign children in upon arrival, we determine the number of children by taking a head count, and not by the sign in sheet.

What days and times do you do parties? Parties can be scheduled at 7:30pm on Friday evenings, 10:00 am, 12:00, 2:00, 4:00  & 6:00 pm on Saturdays, and 11:00 am 1:00, 3:00 & 5:00 pm on Sundays.  Following the Maryville City School Schedule, week Day parties can be scheduled during Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring breaks. Parties run in 2 hour intervals. Contact the gym for available party times.

We also require a $40 deposit, which is due within 48 hours from the time you made your reservation. If deposit is not made within the 48 hours, your party reservation will be cancelled.

Is there anything else I need to know? We have a list of gym rules that you and your guests need to read and implement. We also require each parent or guardian of each child to sign a release in order for their child to participate in the party. This facility is privately owned and your respect and consideration is required in the use of our facilty, equipment and to our staff.   If party guests, do not follow the gym rules, it could result in making certain gym equipment unavailable, or in a worse case the guest may be asked to leave. You are liable for any damages that your guest may cause,  in misuse of our facilty and its contents.  It is not our policy to give refunds due to circumstances beyond our control.  Please call us if you have any other questions.
