General:
All families must pay a $25.00 Registration fee before beginning any class. A $25.00 annual fee will then be charged on the anniversary date of your family’s registration. Also, the registration form and rules sheet must be filled out and signed by a parent before the student will be allowed to participate. Tuition will be pro-rated, if applicable, for the initial enrollment month only. Periodic class testing will take place in each class and advancements are done on an individual basis. Your student does not have to wait for the rest of the class to move up.

It is the parent's responsibility to update the office records with current phone numbers, emergency contact information and new addresses. It is also the parent's responsibility to check with the office for tuition increases due to class change and/or advancements.

The Standard Rate and the Early-Bird Discount price covers 4 weeks of lessons (see our yearly calendar). To receive the Discount Rate, tuition must be in our office by the 15th of each month for the next 4 week session. You may mail in your tuition at the Discount Rate, if it is postmarked by the 15th of the month. Please make your check out to ALL AMERICAN GYMNASTICS and give it to the secretaries at the Front Desk. Please write the name(s) of your gymnast(s) on your check. There is a $25.00 charge for returned checks.

CASH PAYMENTS:
If your tuition payment is made in cash, it is the parent’s responsibility to obtain a receipt from the secretary. Do not leave the office without a receipt.

MONTHLY TUITION vs. PAYING by the LESSON CHARGES:
Our monthly rates are set to give our customers a reasonable price on a monthly basis.  If you would prefer to pay by the lesson, rather than by our monthly rate, the price is $20.00 an hour.  Paying by the lesson will NOT guarantee you a spot in the class and your child will not be on a class roll.   We realize that vacations, etc. come up but our lessons and our books are set up on a monthly basis, and so our enrollment is on a monthly basis.  If you miss a class, you have 30 days to make-up the missed class in Open Gym.   Make-ups will not be carried past 30 days.

PAST DUE TUITION:

1. Tuition is considered Past Due after the 15th of each month.
2. There will be a $5.00 service charge for each bill mailed regarding balances due.
3. Interest at the rate of 18% per annum will be charged on accounts that are 30 days past due.
4. If the account becomes delinquent, you agree to pay interest, court costs, attorney's fees, and all collection agency costs at an additional 40%.

• Jewelry constitutes a safety hazard and will not be allowed to be worn during their participation in class.
• Girls with long hair must wear it tied back in a pony-tail or in braids for safety and convenience.
• No smoking in the gym or on AAG property.
• No gum or candy is allowed in the gym area.

Students should arrive to the gym 5 minutes before class begins. Do not drop your gymnast off earlier than 10 minutes before class, as this represents a supervision problem for the coaches and the management. Gymnasts are not allowed on the equipment before their class begins, or after their class ends. Students are also expected to leave the workout area immediately after class, and should be picked up within 15 minutes of class dismissal.

There will be a $5.00 charge for every 15 minutes the parent/guardian is late picking up their children. This should be paid to the secretary at the time of pickup, if it is not, your account will automatically be debited. Gymnasts are expected to observe the rules of safety, self control, courtesy, and self discipline at all times.

REFUNDS AND 2 WEEK WRITTEN NOTICE:
We DO NOT give cash refunds.
We require a 2 week WRITTEN NOTICE if you decide to withdraw your child from our program. Informing the coach does not constitute "notice."

CANCELING/REARRANGING CLASSES:
It may be necessary during the year to cancel or rearrange your child’s class time to accommodate a gymnastics meet or other special function. In certain cases, it may be necessary to schedule this class for a different day or time, but this will only be as a last resort.
Should attendance in a class drop to less than 5 students, we reserve the right to cancel a class.

SUPERVISION of NON PARTICIPANTS:
Children not participating must be responsibly supervised by a parent and seated in the Viewing Area.   Please do not drop off non-participant children to “watch” their brother or sister participate in gymnastics.  We are not going to “babysit” non-participants and should not be expected to do so.

We encourage parents and visitors to observe their child’s lesson only once a month.  This allows for a quieter atmosphere with greater concentration. When observing please do not interact or comment to your child as it is distracting to the rest of the class.
