Our Policies
Registration
All students must be currently registered with the office. This is done on an annual basis. The fee is $40 per year per family (not student). Online registration will still require a paper copy of information each year. (This means a new registration form to be filled out with our office.)
Once enrolled, students WILL remain enrolled until you notify office staff to drop your child from their class. If you wish to withdraw at any time, WE REQUIRE A TWO WEEK DROP NOTICE. You will be billed for the two weeks following the date of withdrawal. Withdrawal must be done through the office staff only, not an instructor. Email is preferred. The office must document the date of withdrawal for you.
Once payment is made for the month of class NO REFUNDS will be issued.
Monthly fees will be paid first on all accounts before other fees that have accrued for that student(s).
Payment
Billing is done on a monthly basis. A bill will be sent to the email address you have registered with us by the 20th of each month. Payment is due by the 1st of each month. A late fee of $25 will be put on your account on the 8th of the month for unpaid monthly tuition. We do have a new feature to make payments on your account, AUTO PAY. In order to be enrolled into the AUTO PAY you will need to log into your existing account with us. Once you are there you can add your credit card information and enroll in AUTO PAY. AUTO PAY will be charged to your credit card the 1st of each month that you are active in our gym. So, if you wish to stop classes you will need to make sure you give our office your 2 week drop notice. You do not have to enroll in AUTO PAY. This is just another option for parents who wish to use it. You are still welcome to pay monthly online, or in our office with cash, check or credit card.
Classes Missed
We have designated a time and instructor for each student. If your child misses a class, there is no makeup. There are classes that fall on a holiday or break, or a bad weather day, and the gym will be closed accordingly. Monthly fees remain the same. This allows us to keep a good student/teacher ratio.
It is rare, but it has happened when a coach cannot make it to class due to illness or a family emergency. If this happens all efforts will be made to find a suitable replacement coach for that class. If no replacement can be found, we will cancel classes for that coach/class and put a credit on your account with us for that missed class.
What to Wear
GIRLS: For trials you may wear a tight-fitting shirt and shorts. Once you are enrolled in a class you are REQUIRED to wear a leotard or unitard. We do NOT allow skirts on leotards. We also do NOT allow two-piece outfits. You MAY wear shorts or capris over your leotards.
BOYS: For trials and class, they will need to wear a tight-fitting shirt and shorts. Shorts need to be above the knee.
No metal of any kind or buttons can be worn on any clothing.
No socks or shoes may be worn in any gymnastic class. No jewelry, except for stud earrings. Also, hair will need to be pulled up and out of the way. So please remember hair ties. Gym will not supply hair ties. If hair is not pulled up child cannot participate in class. Hair ties can be purchased for $.25; this charge can be added to your account.
Designated Areas for Parents and Students
Parents and observers are NOT to go into the GYM AREA. This includes walking through to the other balcony. This is a policy that we must enforce for the safety of our students and others. At NO time should any person be on the mats or equipment without an instructor employed at Lucas Gymnastics.
Arrival and Pick Up
Students may be dropped off or parents may choose to walk them in and view the class from a designated area. Students will be dismissed and wait for parents inside the building, unless we have staff outside to wait with them. If you will be late picking your child up, call us and we will notify him or her. We expect students to arrive and leave in a timely manner.
The area outside in front of our main entrance door is reserved for parents to drop off and pick up their children. This is not a parking area. If entering the building DO NOT park your car there while entering the building. This makes it unsafe for our kids who are walking to their cars
During Class
Phones, Cameras, and Video
This should not be a distraction to students in the gym. Whether it is a student, parent or instructor. Students are not to bring their phones into class unless there is a specific reason. Texting friends and social media is not one of them. Phones will politely be taken to the front office for this. No flash photography.
Trial Classes
We do offer trial classes as long as the class has an opening and has not reached the maximum number of students. Cost is $20
Activities and Fees
My Gymnastics Day is a program at our gym where the students get to show off their skills they have been working on throughout the year. Seating is made available for parents, relatives and friends to watch and cheer the students on. They are given a certificate and a small award.
Recreational students are expected to attend.
My Gymnastics Day is scheduled for May 3, 2025 for our REC classes ($55) and for our Little Gymnasts ($45) classes
