NEW POLICIES EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1, 2006.
ENROLLMENT IN OUR PROGRAM

Trial Classes:

·         Placement in a class is not guaranteed until payment is received.

·         A signed waiver is REQUIRED for all trials.

Enrollment and Monthly Fees:

·         Fees are due between the 24th and the end of the month for the upcoming month’s tuition. This allows everyone the opportunity to make their tuition payment in their last class of the month.

·         Payments received on or after the 1st of the month will be assessed a $5.00 late fee. We reserve the right to give your child’s spot in class to someone else in lieu of the late fee if there is a waiting list.

Make-ups:  When you register your child for class, you are paying for your child’s place in that class, not their attendance. We do not promise or owe make-up classes or credit for missed classes. Excessive make-up requests will not be allowed. However, we understand that children get ill, therefore we offer the following options for ILLNESS ONLY:

·         To Qualify for a Make-Up Class/Open Gym Pass: You MUST call the office the day of your child’s absence to let us know he/she is out ill. At that time we will schedule an appropriate make-up (Preschool Program) or issue an Open Gym Pass (Rec/Team Programs). Once a make-up is scheduled, it is up to you to get your child to that class, we cannot reschedule missed make-ups or reissue expired Open Gym passes. Make-ups can only be issued/redeemed for currently enrolled students and must be taken within 30 days of absence. Please do not ask us to pro-rate, refund or carry forward fees for classes missed. Excessive make-up requests will not be allowed. Call us if you are having a scheduling problem, and we will do our BEST to help. Limit 2 make-ups per month.

·         Parent/Child Classes, Preschool Classes: We will do our best to schedule your child into another class of the SAME LEVEL if room is available. Make-up MUST be scheduled in advance and taken with 30 days of absence.

·         If make-ups cannot be conveniently scheduled, we apologize, but we cannot credit your account for the missed class.

·         Recreational and Team (Levels 1-10):  Make-ups are available ONLY during OPEN GYM and must be arranged in advance. Please contact the office on the date of your child’s absence and an Open Gym pass will be issued for your child. This Open Gym pass can be used during any Open Gym during the next 30 days only.  Limit 2 make-ups per month.

Privates:  Private lessons are available only to students who are currently enrolled in a scheduled class and only available during regular gym hours while other classes are in session. Rates are set on a per coach basis. Fees are due the day of the private and are to be paid to the gym, not the coach. Privates for team students must be approved by his/her head coach.
