Conditions of Enrolment

Our aim is to provide an enjoyable and safe environment for your child.  To ensure that both you and your child’s experience is a positive one, the following conditions are designed to help us keep the gym running in a professional and sound manner.  If you have any questions regarding these conditions, please feel free to speak with our Club Manager.

​

By enrolling your child you are agreeing to the following Terms and Conditions including our Declaration/Disclaimer.

​

We are guided by the Public Health Orders, so appreciate your understanding with respect to measures driven by covid.

 

Annual registration fees

Term Fees

Full payment plus applicable Gymnastics NSW registration/insurance fee is due in advance or on the first session of the term (see the schedule of classes and pricing for specific information). 

Fees cover a 9-week term. All enrolled gymnasts must pay for the full term regardless of attendance.

There are no refunds on class fee or registration fees under any circumstances.

Arrivals

Please ensure you arrive and are dressed for class before our starting time. 

Warm up is an essential part of gymnastics to prepare the gymnasts’ bodies to participate in the class activities.  If your child has missed warm up, they may not be able to participate in the class activities and asked to be collected.

Departures

Please be on time to collect your child from gymnastics.  We have staggered class times and ask that you are ready waiting at least 5 minutes prior to end of class time to collect your child.

We expect parents/guardians to meet their child at the door and sign out with coach.  Children are not permitted to walk across the field/car park without a parent.

All children must remain inside the gym if they are waiting for their parents. 

Once exited, please make your way to the car, and drive safely.  Be mindful that other children could be about.

Please note that we are not equipped with childcare services and supervision of children is not possible when other classes are in session.
