Policies & Procedures

All Students will be charged a $39 anniversary fee. This fee is good for one year. (NO REFUNDS)
This fee helps to split the cost of credit card fees, insurance, employee training and certifications, and ongoing updates on the equipment and our facility.
Please note that the anniversary fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. 
If you register before October 1st, 2024, there will be no anniversary fee for the first year.

Motor City Gymnastics operates year-round, and its tuition is based on an average of 4 weeks per month. The tuition remains constant for months with 5 weeks, and no credit is given for months with 3 weeks.

Motor City Gymnastics requires a parent or guardian to sign a Waiver and Release of Liability Form for each child entering the training area. The waivers will be updated annually. 
When you create an account to enroll your child in a class, you sign the Waiver and Release of Liability Form in our customer portal. 
 

At Motor City Gymnastics, all participants must fill out a medical history form and we keep it on record. This helps ensure the safety and well-being of everyone involved in the activities at the gym.
 

To register for a class at Motor City Gymnastics, you must have an active credit card or bank account draft (ACH Draft) on file.

At Motor City Gymnastics, we are dedicated to providing every child with the opportunity to thrive and succeed. Safety is our top priority, and our coaches will assess your child's ability and age to determine the most suitable class level. This assessment ensures a safe learning environment and an appropriate level of challenge for your young gymnast. In order to advance to the next level, students must master the required skills. For those eager to progress, there is also an option to enroll in multiple classes per week. Furthermore, our coaches are available for private lessons to help students master specific skills that may be hindering their advancement to a higher level class.

Students who arrive more than 15 minutes late may be asked to reschedule their class. Motor City Gymnastics is not responsible for supervising children before or after their scheduled class time, so please ensure that students are picked up promptly at class.

Additionally, sick children (with fever and/or excessive coughing) should not attend class. Participants must be symptom-free for 24 hours before participating in any activities.

Students may enroll at any time, but their enrollment is subject to class availability.

Tuition is billed every month based on an average of 4 classes per month.
Tuition is pro-rated for athletes who enroll in the middle of a month. Once enrolled, the enrollment is ongoing.

To withdraw from any Motor City Gymnastics program, you must provide a 14-day written notice by email to info@motorcitygym.com. Athletes must withdraw from the class by the 15th of the preceding month if they do not intend to continue in their current class time for the upcoming month. If a withdrawal is not made by the 15th, then tuition will be billed, and any missed classes may be made up.

For rec-classes, please contact info@motorcitygym.com to schedule a makeup at the same level. You are allowed to schedule two make-ups in class per month or use them in an open gym; holidays are excluded from make-ups. 

For the team, please see your team agreement or ask your child's coach. 

At Motor City Gymnastics, we have a special referral program that allows you to save on your next month's tuition fees. When you refer someone to enroll in one of our classes, you will receive a 10% discount to be applied to your next month's tuition fees. This means that for every new enrollment you bring to us, you'll be eligible for a discount on your tuition. It's our way of showing appreciation for your support and for helping our gym grow. 

Motor City Gymnastics primarily communicates via email. The newsletter provides updates on gym activities, upcoming competitions, and events for coaches, gymnasts, and parents.

Students are assessed monthly and can progress to the next skill level whenever they are ready. If there are no available class slots, the students will stay in their current class and be placed on a waiting list until a spot in the desired class opens up.

Clothes:

Girls are to wear leotards to practice. Additionally, shorts, leggings, or a form-fitting long sleeve during colder months is acceptable. 

Boys are to wear shorts and a form-fitting T-shirt or tank top. 

All students must wear socks, although trampoline shoes are optional.

Hair: 
It's important to tie your hair back securely in a ponytail, braid, or bun before each class.
