Rules and Policies

 

 

CLASS SIZE
Most of the Sparta Gymnastics classes are limited to 7 students per coach. In most cases, at 8 students an additional instructor will join the class. We reserve the right to decide at which point that additional coach will participate.

ENROLLMENT
It consists of an Annual Membership Fee of $38, due with the registration, and the prorated balance of the month. The Membership Fee is a mandatory charge and must be renewed yearly, as long as the student is enrolled. Once your child is enrolled, no refunds are available. (FORMS)

PAYMENT OF FEES
Monthly fees are based on a four-week month and are due by the 1st of each month. (Please see the calendar for the Sparta Gymnastics' closing dates) However, for your convenience, you may pay on the first class of the month. If tuition is not paid by the second class of the month, a $10.00 late fee will be assessed. If tuition and late fee are not paid by the third class of the month, you child won't be allowed to participate. Sparta Gymnastics reserves the right to raise fees without notice. We take checks, cash, and credit cards. Please make checks payable to SPARTA GYMNASTICS.
We will hold your spot for you while you are on vacation or taking a break for a month or more if you pay half of your monthly fees. If you choose not to make this payment and take a break from our program for more than 30 days, you will be charged $20 re-registration fee. There is a $20 charge on all returned checks.
