Thank you for your interest in Flip City  Gymnastics. We want both you and your child to enjoy our gym. The following policies are designed to ensure that your experience is a positive one, and to help us keep the gym running in a professional and safe manner. If you have any questions regarding these policies, please feel free to speak with any of our staff members.

 

LEVELS

In the sport of gymnastics, levels are used to aid in progressive teaching. Each level consists of a set of skills the gymnast must master on each apparatus before moving to the next level. A coach will determine a child's progress by using these levels, with input from the parent and gymnast.

* Level 1 is the first, or beginner level in artistic gymnastics
* Level 2 is more advanced, and so on through Level 10

PAYMENT TERMS (revised July 2006)

Tuition is paid based on an 8 week session. We cannot hold your space in class until payment is received. To receive our session discount price, you may pay during our Early Bird Week. If you pay after the Early Bird Week, Tuition is at the normal price. *(Please note the difference in tuition prices!)

A $30 fee will be assigned for all returned checks.

REGISTRATION FEE

An annual registration fee of $25 per student is due August 1st. This fee will be prorated quarterly for those students enrolling during the year. Registration is required of all students, including private lessons.

MAKE-UPS (revised February 2007)

When you register your child for a session, you are paying for your child's place in that class, not their attendance. We do not promise, or owe, make-up classes and excessive make-up requests will not be allowed. However, we understand that illnesses do happen and we will try to allow for make-ups on a space available basis for illness as follows:

• Parent/Child Classes, Pre-School Classes, and Recreational 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.

• If make-ups cannot be conveniently scheduled, Open Gym may be substituted for make-ups so long as it has been pre-arranged.

• Team Classes: Make-ups are available ONLY during OPEN GYM and must be arranged in advance.

• To Qualify for a Make-up Class: 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 attempt to schedule an appropriate make-up. Once a make-up is scheduled, it is up to you to get your child to that class, we cannot reschedule missed make-ups. Make-ups can only be issued to currently enrolled students and must be taken within 8 weeks of absence. Please do not ask us to pro-rate, refund or carry forward fees for classes missed. Call us if you are having a scheduling problem, and we will do our best to help.

REFUNDS

There are no refunds

 

PARENTS

We encourage parents to watch your children learn and grow at Flip City  Gymnastics by following these simple guidelines:

* Please leave the coaching to us. Please do not communicate with your child during class.

* If siblings/friends are present during class time, please keep them in the viewing area.

* Neither parents nor siblings/friends are allowed on the equipment at any time or in the employee area.

* Parents are expected to pick up students on time. Flip City Gymnastics is not equipped with child care services and supervision of such students is not possible when other classes are in session.

* Parents can help support safety in the gym by encouraging the "No Horse Play" rule with your children.

CLOTHING

Girls are required to wear a leotard. If tights are worn, they must be footless. Boys are asked to wear gym shorts without zippers or buttons and a T-shirt. Hair must be tied back and out of face. No shoes or socks are needed. No jewelry, please.
