Frequently Asked Questions
ENROLLMENT
How does your gymnastics program work? Do you operate on sessions, monthly, weekly, etc?
Our Gymnastics program operates 48 weeks per year, with open
enrollment so you can join in anytime.
What are the steps to enrollment?
The first step would be to fill out a registration form and
attend a free-trial class. All new and prospective members are eligible to
receive a free-trial class to ensure that our program is a good fit for you and
your child. After the trial, the coaches will assess your child and select the
appropriate class. Payments are taken on the first day of class, following the
free-trial.
When can I enroll my child?
You can enroll your child at any time, as we have rolling
registration.
How often are classes?
You can decide how many classes are right for your child. Most children start with
one time per week and increase their time at the gym as they progress. There are four
classes in one "month" or billing session, per week.
Fees and Payments
What is your payment policy?
Tuition is due on or before the 25th of each
month. Payments are made monthly for the following month (example: payments
made on/before the 25th of June will count towards July tuition). All members
must have a credit card on file and will be charged the last two days of each
month. You may pay with any preferred payment method on or before the 25th
of each month. In that case, your card on file will not be charged.
Are there any membership or registration fees?
Our insurance policy requires us to insure every student.
There is an annual registration fee of $48 per year. This amount is prorated to
august 1st annually, and will be pro-rated if you enroll anytime
between Augusts. There is a 20% discount on sibling registration fees.
Registration fees must be renewed yearly.
Make up classes
What are makeup classes and how do they work?
We offer one make-up class per session, regardless of how many classes were missed.In order for the makeup system to work, we must have at least 24 hours notice so we can offer the spot to another student to use as his / her make-up time. The missed class must be noted in advance. Notifying us by email is preferred. Those that fail to notify the office will not be allowed to make up their mussed class. Drop-ins are not allowed for make-up classes. Tuition must be paid in full to be eligible for a make-up class. All classes are counted for once scheduled.
Can make-up classes be used to prorate tuition? What about holidays?
Holidays are fixed into the monthly tuition and do not
receive make-up classes. Our scheduled breaks are Thanksgiving, Winter, Spring,
and Summer breaks. Scheduled holidays will be posted in the gym, on our
website, and on our phone message. Please check with the office if you have any
questions regarding holiday breaks. We do not pro-rate the monthly tuition for any missed classes.
Class information
What should my child bring/ wear to class?
Girls can wear a leotard or athletic shorts with a fitted
t-shirt (footless tights may be worn). Hair must be tied up and out of face. No
crop tops please. Boys can wear a t-shirts and shorts or sweats without
pockets. No large or baggy clothes. No jeans, shoes, buttons, or zippers. No
jewelry.
How do I determine which class is right for my child?
Age and ability are the two factors in determining which
class is right for your child. Our classes will be age-based if they are
first-timers to gymnastics. If they have gymnastics experience, then their
ability along with age will determine the right class for your child. This is
why we offer free-trial classes.
What should I do if I need to change my child’s class?
Please notify the office of any and all class / schedule
changes to ensure that there is availability for your child.
How will I know when my child is ready to move to the next level?
Our classes run on an individual bases, so as soon as the
coaches feel that your child has met all of the requirements to move to the
next level, they will move them up. If you would like one of our coaches to
assess your child outside of class, please schedule a private lesson with one
of our coaches.
