1. Season Commitment
I understand that this contract represents my commitment to the entire 2025-2026 gymnastics season (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026), not a monthly program. I agree to participate through the end of the season unless released by the head coach under the terms outlined in this contract and the team handbook.
• I acknowledge that acrobatic gymnastics is a team sport and that my athlete’s attendance and participation directly affect their group’s success and preparedness.
• If no suitable partnership is available, my athlete may continue training in a non-competitive role until a unit is found.
• I understand the head coach has discretion to reassign or release an athlete from the program if a suitable unit cannot be formed.
2. Tuition and Payment Plan
Tuition is for regularly scheduled in-gym training only. It does not include additional expenses such as:
• Choreography and music editing
• Add-on or extended training days
• Competition or performance event registration fees
• Shared coach expenses related to travel, lodging, and meals for events
• Teamwear, competitive leotards, or athlete travel expenses
• Personal items (e.g., tape, chalk, etc.)
Tuition is billed for the full season and divided into equal monthly instalments for convenience only. This does not imply a month-to-month contract. All instalments remain due regardless of attendance or interruptions unless a withdrawal exception is approved in writing.
A valid credit card must be kept on file for all monthly instalments. Payments are processed automatically on the 1st of each month.
• Declined payments may be subject to a $25 manual processing and re-entry fee due to the administrative time involved.
• Failure to resolve outstanding fees within 30 days may result in removal from the program.
3. Withdrawal and Termination
• I may withdraw without penalty within 30 days of signing this contract.
• After 30 days and before unit assignment, 30 days’ written notice is required, and at least one monthly instalment will be due.
• Once a unit is assigned, I agree that I am responsible for the full remaining tuition for the season and any non-refundable event or partner-related expenses.
• In case of financial hardship due to job loss from a public health order or disaster, I may request a withdrawal exception.
• I agree to the withdrawal, collection, and refund terms as detailed in the team handbook.
4. Extracurricular Activities
• I understand that participation on the competitive team requires priority commitment over other extracurricular activities.
• I agree not to enroll in other programs that conflict with training or affect physical/mental readiness for team participation.
• I understand that violations may result in removal from events or the program at the discretion of the head coach.
5. Attendance Requirements
• I agree to report all absences in advance to the head coach.
• I understand that vacations and absences must be pre-approved and that unexcused absences may affect competition or performance eligibility.
• I agree that failure to attend mandatory training days before events may result in my child being removed from participation, without refund.
6. Event and Partnership Fee Responsibility
• I understand that participation in competition or performance events requires consistent attendance and readiness. Athletes may be withdrawn from an event at the head coach’s discretion for lack of readiness, disciplinary reasons, or unexcused absences. No refunds will be provided in such cases.
• If my athlete is unable to participate in a scheduled event (voluntarily or involuntarily), and this prevents their partner(s) from participating, I agree that:
• I will be responsible for any non-refundable event or travel fees incurred by the affected partner(s).
• This includes, but is not limited to, registration fees, travel deposits, shared coach expenses, or choreography costs.
• If I choose to withdraw from the program after being assigned to a unit, and this withdrawal prevents one or more partners from competing or continuing in the program, I accept financial responsibility for those unrecoverable fees.
7. Team Handbook and Policies
• I confirm that I have received the 2025-2026 Team Handbook and understand that it forms part of this agreement.
• I agree to follow all policies outlined in the handbook, including but not limited to:
• Attendance
• Fees and refunds
• Athlete conduct
• Travel
• Training attire and expectations
• I acknowledge that updates to the handbook may occur and I am responsible for reviewing communications related to these changes.
8. Communications Consent
I authorize Edmonton Acrobatic Gymnastics to contact me via email, phone, text, and other communication methods regarding team information, class changes, schedules, billing, and urgent notices.
9. Final Acknowledgment
By signing this contract, I affirm that I have read and understand all sections above and agree to the financial and policy commitments outlined for the 2025-2026 season.
