Fee Information:
The fee for the program is based on 40 weeks of classes during the months of September to June. There are over 43 weeks in this time period. This is important to remember when the club is closed, or has to cancel a class, or when the gymnast needs to miss a few classes throughout the year. The club is always closed for a staff holiday break around the last week of June, and for a Christmas and New Year’s holiday break in December.
Fees:
The administrative fee is $50.00. This not a registration fee. Read all the information sections above to know what situations, or other unforeseen circumstances, this fee pertains to.
The service fee is $10.50 and is charged on every transaction. This is the cost of online registration and is subject to change at any time throughout the year.
The Gymnastics Ontario insurance fee is $25.00 and is charged once per gymnastics year (July 1 to June 30).
The Pre-Competitive Program Fee is $30.00 and is charged once per gymnastics year (September 1 to June 30). This helps to offset medal, ribbon and coaching costs for in-house meets.
The following fees are for 2-hour gymnastics practices, either 2 or 3 times per week:
4 hours per week = $213.00 per month
6 hours per week = $276.00 per month
The program runs from September 2019 to and including June 2020.
The program had to be set up as an online monthly subscription, because gymnasts are allowed to choose their practice days from the schedule.

Gymnasts can start at the beginning of any available month. Registration must be completed no later than 8:00 PM on the last day of the previous month.
Gymnasts are allowed to withdraw from the remainder of the program before the last day of the previous month, by cancelling their subscription.
