Enrollment: Priority enrollment for the following session is offered to our enrolled families during the 7th week of the session. Taking advantage of priority enrollment will help ensure your  spot in the class. Open enrollment (open to non-enrolled students) will be available during the 8th week of sessions 1-5 (call office for open enrollment dates for Summer Sessions). Your child’s spot is not guaranteed until a payment is received.

Tuition: A yearly $40.00 registration fee will be due upon registering to cover the cost of secondary insurance for you. We will charge this fee annually. This fee is non-refundable.

▪ If starting mid-session, you will be pro-rated.

▪ During our 8 week session, a payment plan is available. You may make a half-payment at the beginning of the session, and second half is due at the 4th week of the session. You are still obligated to the full 8 week session. All ½ payment plans must include a credit card on file. You may pay the ½ payment via cash or check before the first day of the 5th week. If you do not make your half payment during the 4th week, we will charge your credit card on file for the second half payment.

▪ Check, cash, debit, MC/VISA/DISCOVER accepted.

There are no refunds once a student starts their first class: When you pay, we are reserving your spot in class, therefore we cannot give refunds. If personal situations/injuries keep the student from attending more than 50% of the session, please notify our office immediately. Failure to do so will result in you being responsible for tuition until we are notified that your child is temporarily or permanently dropping class. Keeping up to date records is difficult without knowing what your intentions are. Help us help you by maintaining class size integrity.

Returned Checks: There is a $25.00 fee for returned check.

Make Up Policy: Make-ups are offered by appointment only on Fridays. 2 make-ups per 8 week session and 1 make-up per 5 week session. Due to class ratios, we may not always be able to offer a make-up class. You must schedule these make-ups with the front desk. Make-ups can only be scheduled after the class has been missed and must be made-up in the same session. No make-ups for a missed make-up class. There are no credits or refunds for missed classes. You must check in with the front desk when you arrive to pick up your make-up slip. We work very hard to promote consistency for our students and coaches. This is very important to the learning process.

Please note: You are responsible for payment for your classes WHETHER OR NOT YOU ATTEND CLASS until the time you notify the staff VIA WRITTEN NOTICE. Please do not rely on your student to verbally let us know that he/she will no longer be attending classes. If a student stops coming to class without notification then that student's account will be charged for the additional 30 days. This charge will be for holding the student's place in that class instead of offering that place to one of the many on a waiting list.
