Fees Policy
1. Term fees must be paid in full in the first 2 weeks of term for all new and existing members. Failure to do so will result in additional account keeping fees and your child will not be able to attend gymnastics until all outstanding fees are paid. Valley Gymnastics encourages all parents to pay term fees in full before the term commences.
2. Once your child is enrolled for the term, their term fees are not refundable.
3. In the event that term fees are not paid, and the debt is handed over to an external debt collection agency, all costs incurred by Valley Gymnastics in doing so will be passed on in the form of additional fees.
4. Gymnast re-enrolling must pay for a full term i.e. if it is a ten-week term, they must pay for 10 weeks even if they will be away the first, or last week for example. Gymnasts are entitled to make-ups for the missed week once fees are paid in full.
5. Once a gymnast attends the first lesson of a term, (excluding trial lessons for new members) they have enrolled for the full term and acknowledge that full term fees are therefore due. Even if gymnasts have not paid and quit gymnastics in week 2, they will still be liable for a full term’s fees. If not paid, the debt will be handed over to an external debt collection agency, and the costs incurred by Valley Gymnastics in doing this will be passed on in the form of additional fees. In addition, registration transfer to any other gymnastics club in Australia will be refused until all fees are paid in full.
6. In the event you are unable to pay for term fees in the first 2 weeks, you must see administration and you may be eligible for a payment plan. (Only available to gymnasts who train 2 days per week or more.) Payment plan applications are available from admin. To be eligible, you must apply before term starts – not in week 2 when you are unable to pay full term fees)
7. Gymnasts who still have term fees outstanding from the previous term will not be permitted to re-enrol, and will lose their position in the class.
8. If using an active or creative kids voucher to pay for fees, voucher must be email to valleygymfun@gmail.com within the first 2 weeks of term.

MAKEUP LESSONS
1. Makeup lessons are available only to those gymnasts whose term fees are paid for in full. Parents/gymnasts must contact Valley Gymnastics prior to classes missed if they are unable to attend gym in order to qualify for a makeup lesson. Makeup lessons may be refused depending on gymnast numbers on a particular day.
• Makeup lessons are used to cover absences of 2 weeks or less (refunds or credit are used for absences greater than 2 weeks as the result of injury or illness only) Medical certificates are not required unless the absence has been the result of an injury in which case a clearance certificate is required by a doctor (this ensures the gymnast is fit to train again)
• Makeup lessons can be used for any class within the club to the same value.
• Makeup lessons can only be used within the current term and are not transferable to next term or holiday training or programs.

REFUNDS/CREDIT
• Credit or refunds are not given for unexplained absences or if gymnasts decide they no longer want to do gymnastics. If full term fees are not paid at the time of quitting, parents will still be charged for full term fees.
• Credit or refunds are not given as a result of gymnasts attending club events or competitions when their usual classes are on. Coaches are present at these events and as such are considered part of their regular gymnastics activities.
