I have enrolled - what else do I need to know:
-
Children can wear either bike pants or leggings or shorts with a fitted T-shirt or leotard. Please ensure the clothing is reasonably tight fitting and not baggy. We have an on-site leotard store where leotards can be purchased.
-
For safety reasons clothing should not have buttons, buckles or zips as these can catch on the equipment.
-
For safety reasons all long hair must be tied up using a plain hair tie.
-
Shoes are not allowed in the gym itself and children are to wear socks or bare feet.
-
When children arrive they can leave their shoes, bag, etc in the cubby holes under the stair case.
-
A Pre-School Coach will meet you upstairs. We ask that you accompany your child down the stairs to assist them as needed.
- If you are late please assist your child into the main gym hall.
- Parents of Gymnasts in the 2-3 year old class are expected to participate with their child. We ask that parents please remove their shoes before entering the main gym.
PLEASE NOTE when registering, a child can either be enrolled in a class or placed on a wait list if the class is full:
- Enrolment in a class - a child is confirmed in a class after an invoice has been sent via email. The invoice sends automatically upon completing the registration process.
- Placed on a wait list - if an invoice is not received the child IS NOT enrolled on the portal. When on the wait list an orange "wait list" button is highlighted next to the class in the child's registration details. A child is moved from the wait list when a place becomes available and an invoice will be emailed. This confirms the child is enrolled in the class starting immediately.
- Trial Class - we do not offer trial classes. If you wish to come along and observe a class from our Mezzanine area you are more than welcome to do so. Once you have booked, gymnasts are committed to the term of gymnastics classes.
- Late payment penalty: Late payment will incur a late payment penalty fee. You will not be able to enroll into a class for the next term if there are outstanding fees on your account.
