Gymnastics Center Rules

Due to the current construction happening on-site, parents and spectators are not allowed in the Gymnastics Center until further notice (with the exception of Parent Child classes).

School-year enrollment: Enrollment in gymnastics is ongoing for the length of the school year. We will hold your child’s spot in the selected day/time provided tuition remains current. If you choose to take a break, your spot in the current class is not guaranteed when you return. Classes will run from 9/13/2021 to 6/18/2022 with the following planned time off:

• November 24-26: Thanksgiving Holiday
• December 23-January 2: Winter Holiday
• April 15-17: Easter Holiday
• May 27-30: Memorial Day Weekend

Summer classes: Summer classes will run on a modified schedule to accommodate camps. The summer session will be one 6-week session. Tuition for the summer months will be due at the time of registration.

Tuition: Tuition will automatically be drafted on the first of each month. Tuition will be prorated according to your start date. Tuition is based off a 40 week session divided into 10 equal payments. Some months may have 3 classes and some months may have 5 classes.

How to un-enroll: Please submit an email/written request by the 15^th in order to cancel for the following month. Requests received after the 15^th of the month cannot be guaranteed by the 1^st of the month.

Refunds: There will be no refunds for missed classes.

Make-ups: We always recommend that your child attends their regularly scheduled class however, we understand that this may not always be possible. Make-ups are available if your child is currently enrolled in a class. Make-ups must be scheduled a head of time with the Gymnastics Director.

Snow cancellations: The NCYMCA typically follows Middletown Public Schools for snow cancellations. You will be notified via email of any cancellations. Please note that NO REFUNDS will be given for weather related cancellations.

Parent viewing: Currently we cannot offer a parent viewing area due to limited spacing. Our renovations will provide a separate parent viewing area with ample space and seating.
