Class and Fee Schedule
 

Registration Fee

A non-refundable $50 registration fee is due from every participant in Stroup's Gymnastics the first time they register for classes each academic year.  The fee includes membership in the Stroup's Gymnastics program from June 1 through May 31. This fee covers the required gymnastics insurance and membership in Stroup's Gymnastics program for a period of 12 months. The registration fee is in addition to class tuition payments.

When to Register

Registrations are accepted on a first-come first-serve basis, with no priority given to either current or new students.  As many of our classes close out each session, we recommend that you register by the pre-registration dates to guarantee your child's place in class and avoid disappointment.

How to Register

Submit registration form with registration fee and either full tuition or first installment payment  to Stroup's Gymnastics:

By Mail, with check:
                    P.O. Box 2081
                    Jamestown, NY  14702-2081

In Person, with cash, check or money order:
                    1385 Kiantone Road
                     across from Stillwater Feeds

We will accept students at any time, provided there is space available in the class.  Tuition will be pro-rated if a student enrolls after the session has already begun.

Installment Payments

An installment payment option is available for your convenience for all gymnastic classes.  If you take advantage of this, your child's space in class is reserved for the full 12 week session. You  are responsible for the full tuition payment regardless of your child's actual attendance. 

Late Fees

A $10.00 late fee will be charged to students who have an unpaid balance after the 10th of each month.

Refund Policy
All registration fees are non-refundable.  No tuition refunds will be granted once classes have begun.  By registering for a class you are reserving a spot in that class therefore; you are responsible for the full tuition payment regardless of your child's actual attendance.  Refund requests for personal reasons must be submitted in writing no later than ten business days prior to the start of the session.  Verbal requests or requests received after this time will not be accepted.  All refunds for personal reason will be assessed a $10.00 administrative fee.  Refund checks will be mailed within approximately 3-4 weeks from request approval.

Returned Check Policy
A $25.00 fee and all bank fees will be charged for each check returned for insufficient funds. This is non-negotiable.
 

Missed Classes & Make-Ups
 Our classes are staffed to meet the needs of each class.  To allow students to make-up classes at different times would infringe upon other students class time.  Because of the developmental nature of our program, we request that all students be on time for each class, and try not to miss many classes. 

• All make-up classes must be scheduled and approved by the front office. 

• A minimum one week prior notification is required to ensure proper staffing.

• There are no refunds or credits given for missed classes.

• It is the student's responsibility to attend class, therefore, reductions will not be granted for missed classes.

• Students are allowed to make up 1 absence per month regardless of how many classes have been missed. They must make it up within 30 days of the absence.

• The office personnel must be notified in writing of a prolonged illness or injury for exceptions to be made.

Absences

• After 2 consecutive absences (without notification to the gym office) the child will be withdrawn from class.

• Please notify the gym as soon as possible if your child is injured outside the gym or is diagnosed with any communicable diseases (chicken pox, measles, mumps, strep throat, conjunctivitis, pink eye, pneumonia, etc.) and will be missing consecutive classes.

• Medical releases are required before returning to class for any child that has been seen by a doctor or in medical care for any injury or illness that resulted in an extended absence from class. No child is allowed to participate until the gym receives this release.

Withdrawal from class

• Written notification to the office, not the instructor, is required two weeks in prior to withdrawing a student from a class. Payment is required until the final day of withdrawal.

• The recreational gymnastics "season" runs from September - June. Any student dropping from the program or going on hold must give 2 weeks written notice.
  Clients are responsible for tuition covering the two-week notice. If notice is not given to the front desk, the client will be responsible for that month's tuition.

Injury Policy

In the event that your child is injured and is unable to participate under doctor's orders for at least two weeks, please present a written doctor's order to the office and you will be given the appropriate tuition credit towards a following session.  Cash or check refunds will not be given.  A written doctor's release is required prior to your child returning to the gym.

PLEASE BE PREPARED FOR CLASS!

Proper dress helps your child stay safe and excel in class.

• A one-piece leotard is required for girls (tumblers and gymnasts, both).  No bare midriffs, please.  Bike shorts or Lycra dance pants may be worn over leotard.  Gymnastic slippers are optional, dance tights are not permitted.

• Hair must be pulled back securely.  Whatever works best for your hair is fine... pony tail, pig tails, etc.  Long bangs need to be pulled back also.

• No jewelry, please.  This includes necklaces, anklets, rings, etc.

• Boys should wear a tucked in T-shirt with gym shorts or jogging pants, no belts, buckles, zippers or snaps. Cotton socks on the feet are fine for some events.

Drop off - Pick up 

• At no times should a child be left unattended waiting for class to begin

• Children must be picked up as soon as class is over.

• There is a $5.00 charge for every 30 minutes a child is here after class. Our staff is not able to stay after class or able to tend to children when another class is in progress.

• CHILDREN MUST WAIT INSIDE THE BUILDING

Observation Policy
Parents are welcome to observe classes at any and all times provided that they remain in the designated observation areas.  For safety purposes parents are not permitted to stand or sit in the training area during their child's class. Observers can at times be a distraction, and therefore they present a safety concern. Gymnasts are able to see you just as well as you can see them.  If you are becoming a distraction, please step away from the gymnast's view for a few minutes.    If you arrive early to pick up your child, please do not disturb/interrupt class; wait for your child’s class to be dismissed.   We thank you in advance for your understanding and your cooperation.

Gym Closings/ Holidays
Stroup's Gymnastics is closed the following dates:

Inclement Weather Closings

Occasionally, for the safety of our students and staff, we must close for business due to inclement weather such as snow, sleet or ice. In this event, the gym’s phone message and website will be updated as necessary to keep you informed of closings or changes in class hours. Whenever feasible, missed classes will be re-scheduled for make-up by the end of the session in which they occur. When re-scheduling is not feasible, students will be given a credit voucher that can be used towards open gym or the equivalent. Please note that these vouchers cannot be redeemed for cash refunds, and are not transferable.

Classes cancelled due to weather or other emergencies will be announced on local radio stations SE-93 and WJTN.

It is the mission of Stroup's Gymnastics to provide an excellent gymnastics learning experience for children of all ages in a safe and caring environment!
